Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. The topsy-turvy year continues, best exemplified by the then #2 Cardinals, tied for the best record with Tampa, somehow losing to the then #32 Lions, who had the worst record in the league. More on that later. The Buccaneers, #1 last week, also lost to a slightly less embarassing team, the…
Everyone has 4 games left and the playoff picture is starting to come into focus. AFC East - Bills Patriots (9-4)Man, the Bills had to win that Monday night game. Not only do they have to win out to take the division but they have to win in Foxborough on the day after Christmas against a team that just showed them they can win…

We have a new #1 for the first time since week 11, when the Titans briefly knocked Arizona from their perch. Since week 4, it's the only time the Cardinals haven't been #1. So who knocked them off and opened the door for Tampa Bay? It was the Rams, which begs…
Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. Nothing but intelligent analysis comes from this couch. Another week gone in the NFL and order was (somewhat) restored. Except for in the Lions game, but we'll get to that in a bit. The Rams (#9) and the Cowboys (#5) bounced back from tough stretches with wins. Arizona and Tampa Bay,…

Not only do they have one of the best uniforms in the NFL, but they are actually our biggest riser (along with Las Vegas), up 6 spots to #22-T. Just 3 weeks ago, Miami was mired…

Mac Jones is the new Tom Brady! Bill Belichick is back like Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker! Ok, the last two probably aren't true, but the first might be! New England has…

Another week in bizarro world NFL, where nobody is actually good, unless maybe they are, but no, they can't be after losing that game. The Titans, minus their most important player, are sitting pretty at numero uno. Dallas and Buffalo both bounced back from abysmal performances last week to win big…

There were a number of inexplicable results in a week where all but 4 teams made some kind of move in our rankings. The biggest riser was Atlanta, who beat the Trevor Siemian-led Saints on a…
We are half exactly half way through the season and it looks like some of my picks may not hold up. Time to make some adjustments AFC East - Bills (5-3)With a Bills loss to the Jags and the Patriots slowly climbing out of the abyss, this division is looking more competitive. I do think the Bills are the better team. Ultimately its going…
Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. No more undefeated teams, but despite their loss, the Cardinals remain on top of our rankings. This is due in part to the fact that the Packers get to play the rest of the NFC North (Vikings: #16-tie, Bears: #18-tie, Lions: #32) while Phoenix gets the rest of the NFC West…
