2014 Power Rankings: Week 3

As you all know (by all I of course mean the exactly 0 people who read this) I have a very special formula that I use to help me determine who is having the best season in the NFL. A team gets a point for every win, loses a point for every loss. Additionally, they get a point for every win that a team they defeat has and lose a point for every loss that a team they lose to has. For example, the Lions now have 2 wins and 1 loss. They defeated the Giants who have 1 win, lost to the Panthers who have 1 loss, and defeated the Packers who have 1 win. 2-1+1-1+1=2.

Based on this I have devised my own power rankings. ESPN and the NFL and Im sure many other groups have their own systems for this. Here is how mine look.

1. Bengals (3-0)
2. Cardinals (3-0)
3. Eagles (3-0)
4. Chargers (2-1)
5. Ravens (2-1)
6. Seahawks (2-1)
7. Steelers (2-1)
8. Bills (2-1)
9. Panthers (2-1)
10. Broncos (2-1)
11. Lions (2-1)
12. Bears (2-1)
13. Falcons (2-1)
14. Cowboys (2-1)
15. Patriots (2-1)
16. 49ers (1-2)
17. Texans (2-1)
18. Giants (1-2)
19. Titans (1-2)
20. Redskins (1-2)
21. Colts (1-2)
22. Packers (1-2)
23. Dolphins (1-2)
24. Browns (1-2)
25. Saints (1-2)
26. Chiefs (1-2)
27. Vikings (1-2)
28. Jets (1-2)
29. Rams (1-2)
30. Raiders (0-3)
31. Buccaneers (0-3)
32. Jaguars (0-3)

NFL Early Season Picks 2014

Here they are.

AFC
East: Patriots (2-1)
Boring!
North: Bengals (3-0)
Three good wins to start the season. Lets see where this goes.
South: Texans (2-1)
This division, I tell ya. It will surprise me if any of them do better than 10-6
West: Broncos (2-1)
I cant pick against Peyton, not this early in the season.
Wildcard: Chargers (2-1), Bills (2-1)
While I know that the Bills will disappoint me they have put up 2 very good wins.

NFC
East: Eagles (3-0)NFL
It may be bloody getting there but the Eagles are on a roll.
North: Lions (2-1)
Its probably just wishful thinking but when the home team is on top you have to pick them right?
South: Panthers (2-0)
They beat the Lions and Bucks handedly.
West: Cardinals (3-0)
Its really hard to pick a team other than the Seahawks or 49ers. But, I think all 4 of these teams could make the playoffs this year.
Wildcard: Seahawks (2-1), 49ers (1-2)

End of the Season

I just dont even know what to say about what happened last night. So I wont. But, with the 2013 season concluded, the Lions are now tied for 1st in the NFC north!

Super Bowl XLVIII

The playoffs have come to an end and for the first time ever I have successfully picked the teams that came through to battle in the Super Bowl. Way back in October I picked the Broncos and Seahawks to represent their conferences in the biggest game of the year. I also made a prediction that it would be the Broncos standing victorious at games end.

Conference Round 2013

I went 4/4 this week. I dont think there was much surprise though. Which means we have New England going to Denver and San Francisco going to Seattle. This is the first time in a while that I feel that the best 4 teams are fighting for their conference championships. After week 6 I picked the Broncos and the Seahawks to win their AFC and NFC. Im going to stick with my original picks.

Divisional Round 2013

This Week
As predicted the Colts took out the Chiefs, if only by a total collapse of the Chiefs defence.
The Saints thwarted the naysayers by going on the road to Phili and taking out the Eagles.
I got the Chargers/Bengals game wrong but Im not surprised that the Bengals couldnt get it done.
The cold didnt seem to hamper the 49ers in their win in Lambeau.
Accuracy: 3/4

Next Week
New Orleans @ Seattle: Ive been very impressed with this Seattle team and I cant imagine the Saints coming in and winning another road game in the Seahawks stadium. Se
ahawks

Indianapolis @ New England: This game is what the AFC playoffs have been all about for the last decade. Unfortunately for Indy, Peyton is a Bronco this year. Patriots

San Francisco @ Carolina: Last week I said that there was only one NFC team that can beat the 49ers. The Panthers are not that team. 49ers

San Diego @ Denver: A classic AFC West showdown. The Chargers have a lot of momentum but I think the Broncos are ready for the Super Bowl this year. Broncos
