Post-Week 18 Power Rankings
Cover photo taken from NY Post. 1 – Ravens (13-4) “Super Bowl or Bust” is a lazy analysis, but it really feels that way for this Baltimore team. While their near future will be fruitful, this feels like the team that’s best-equipped to do what the 2019 team couldn’t. They’re going to have to prove…
Post-Week 17 Power Rankings
Cover photo taken from NBC Sports. 1 – Ravens (13-3) Another week, another Super Bowl contender mowed down. This team is a machine, and Lamar Jackson deserves this victory lap with his second MVP. The only question remaining: can they do it in the playoffs? 2 – 49ers (12-4) The 49ers are probably going to…
Post-Week 16 Power Rankings
Cover photo taken from KGET. 1 – Ravens (12-3) 1 In one fell swoop, the Ravens became AFC and Super Bowl favorites, Lamar Jackson became the MVP and they became the most feared team in the league. That’s a pretty good Christmas, if you ask me. 2 – 49ers (11-4) 1 It’s not surprising that…
Post-Week 15 Power Rankings
Cover photo taken from Syracuse.com. 1 – 49ers (11-3) “Buzzsaw” is starting to look like an understatement. Brock Purdy isn’t about to win MVP, is he? 2 – Ravens (11-3) 1 Never thought I’d be looking forward to Christmas because the Baltimore Ravens are playing, but here we are. Monday night’s contest in the Bay…
Post-Week 14 Power Rankings
Cover photo taken from Lone Star Live. 1 – 49ers (10-3) Buzzsaw. 2 – Cowboys (10-3) 1 Playing perhaps the best football of any team in the league right now. Would be fascinated to see how a game against San Francisco would look today. 3 – Ravens (10-3) 1 They’re finding ways to win. That’s…
Post-Week 13 Power Rankings
Cover photo taken from AP News. 1 – 49ers (9-3) 1 I told you they were back. 2 – Eagles (10-2) 1 It’s about damn time. 3 – Cowboys (9-3) 2 Still need to see it against real competition to believe it. Real chance to make a statement on Sunday night. 4 – Ravens (9-3)…

Post-Week 1 Power Rankings
The 2022 NFL season kicked off with a wild, wacky weekend filled with drama and plenty of questions. Let’s stack up the league 1-32 after a thrilling Week 1.
Post-Week 14 Power Rankings
1 – Packers (10-3) No surprises at the top. It was a wild week amongst the league’s elite, but the Packers still stand alone atop the NFL mountain. It was a wacky first half in Lambeau in which Green Bay’s defense and special teams gave the Bears a real chance, but a dominant second half…
Post-Week 13 Power Rankings
1 – Packers (9-3) The Packers had their very late bye this week, and they’re taking full advantage of it, as some key contributors are returning to the fray this week. Jaire Alexander, Za’Darius Smith, and David Bakhtiari could all come back this week. The team has been fine without them, and they don’t necessarily…
Post-Week 12 Power Rankings
1 – Packers (9-3) 1 Once again, we have another 1-2 switch as the Packers return to the top of the Power Rankings, and for good reason. Not only did the Cardinals have a bye, but Green Bay played a perfect game in the dismantling of the Rams on Sunday at Lambeau. The offense played…
Post-Week 11 Power Rankings
1 – Cardinals (9-2) 1 The never-ending flip-flop of 1 and 2 continues this week with the Cardinals jumping back up to the top after a very nice win with their backups once again taking center stage. Colt McCoy, James Conner, and the rest of the offense had their way with the porous Seattle defense…
Post-Week 10 Power Rankings
1 – Packers (8-2) 1 The Packers are back on top, and for good reason. They didn’t have their flashiest game offensively against a bad Seahawks defense, but this team has shown us time and time again that they don’t need to do all that on offense to win. That’s thanks to having what I…
Post-Week 9 Power Rankings
1 – Cardinals (8-1) 1 The Cardinals are back on top, dethroning the Packers by proving they have something that Green Bay apparently does not: depth. And the Cards have it in bunches. Without Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green, and J.J. Watt, in addition to losing Chase Edmonds on the first drive of the…
Post-Week 8 Power Rankings
1 – Packers (7-1) 6 Against all odds, the Packers pulled off the impossible last Thursday. Going on the road to take on the only undefeated team in football without their top 3 WRs, their LT, their star CB and pass rusher, or even a defensive coordinator, they out-played the Cardinals from start to finish…
Post-Week 7 Power Rankings
1 – Cardinals (7-0) No surprises here. I was considering shuffling around the top a bit, but it just didn’t feel right moving the Cardinals down for covering a 20-point spread. It wasn’t the flashiest of victories on Sunday, but it didn’t need to be. Both sides of the ball still did their thing, and…
Post-Week 6 Power Rankings
As the season continues, the league continues to prove its unpredictability. Week in and week out, there is no lack of shuffling and surprises from top to bottom.
