Ranking the Four Teams Left

Top Four Offenses In the Divisional Round, all of the home teams won. Many of us at home expected the games to be incredibly close (and toss-ups), but three of the teams dominated the entire way, and the Saints dominated after the first quarter. In the first game of the weekend, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs scored four rushing touchdowns on the Colts, considered as the "hottest" team in the league after winning 10 of their past 11 games. The defense played incredibly well, limiting Andrew Luck and Marlon Mack. In the second game, the Rams rushed for a franchise playoff record; C.J. Anderson and Todd Gurley both had over 100 yards on the ground. By controlling the ground game, and limiting the effect of Ezekiel Elliot on the opposite side of the field, the Rams were able to pull away from the Cowboys. In the third match, Tom Brady, Sony Michel, Bill Belichick, and the entire Patriots team showed us why no one should ever doubt them. The game was over after the second...

Week 14 Power Rankings

Cowboys on a Roll, Panthers Drop Not many people expected the Dallas Cowboys to top the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football during Week 13. The Saints came into the game winning ten straight, while the Cowboys were a "mediocre" team in the midst of a three-game winning streak. The Cowboys won 13-10 and will rise in the week's rankings. In other important games, the Chicago Bears lost a shocker to the New York Giants, Lamar Jackson won his third straight game for the Baltimore Ravens against the Atlanta Falcons, the Houston Texans won their ninth straight game, and the Los Angeles Chargers won a close one against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Carolina Panthers are quickly fading in the wild-card race, and have lost four straight games. Here are my rankings heading into Week 14: Los Angeles Rams (11-1) Kansas City Chiefs (10-2) New Orleans Saints (10-2) Los Angeles Chargers (9-3) New England Patriots (9-3) Houston Texans (9-3) Pittsburgh Steelers (...

No Le'Veon Bell Sighting

Bell's Steeler Career Over Le'Veon Bell did not show to the Steelers practice facility this week, which means he will no longer be suiting up for the team this season. His career with Pittsburgh is also most certainly over. At the beginning of the season, everyone believed that the Steelers would miss the presence of Le'Veon Bell on offense, but the emergence of James Conner at running back has caused other players to raid Bell's locker instead. Bell left more than 14 million dollars on the table because he was never able to reach a long-term deal with the Steelers, and now, he goes into free agency with a fresh set of legs. He could have a great market next year, depending on his physique and health. Here are my top five potential destinations for Bell: Indianapolis Colts Houston Texans Philadelphia Eagles San Francisco 49ers Baltimore Ravens

Week 7 Power Rankings

Chiefs Suffer First Loss; Ravens Shut Out Titans The New England Patriots were able to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs by three points at home, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers came back to avoid an upset to the 49ers, the Steelers defeated the Bengals, and the Dolphins took down the Bears at the end of overtime. There were some unexpected wins and losses, as well as some close games, in Week 6. The Dallas Cowboys blew out the Jacksonville Jaguars and their top-notch defense, 40-7. It is been hard to figure out which teams are "contenders" and which are "pretenders" this season. It is especially difficult to rank the middle of the pack teams. Here are my power rankings heading into Week 7: Los Angeles Rams (6-0) New Orleans Saints (4-1) Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) New England Patriots (4-2) Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1) Minnesota Vikings (3-2-1) Baltimore Ravens (4-2) Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) Carolina Panthers (3-2) Green Bay P...

Week 5 Power Rankings

Tough to Judge... Except for the Top Two Teams The top two teams in the league right now are definitely the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs. Led by their young quarterbacks and solid surrounding pieces, they seem like they have the tools to make a deep run in the playoffs. They are the only two undefeated teams left after the Miami Dolphins were blown out by the New England Patriots 38-7. The most disappointing team in the league so far has to be the Falcons, who should be 3-1 or even 4-0, but are instead 1-3. They have lost three games by one score, and they should have one each of them but could not come through. Part of the reason is their injuries on defense to three Pro Bowl players, but they should still be winning more games. Here are the power rankings going into crucial Week 5 matchups: Los Angeles Rams (4-0) Kansas City Chiefs (4-0) New Orleans Saints (3-1) Jacksonville Jaguars (3-1) Cincinnati Bengals (3-1) Chicago Bears (3-1) Tennessee Titans (...
