NFL Power Rankings (Week 7)

I obviously don't have a formula for this, but it's some kind off half-assed "strength of schedule" meets "who would win on a neutral field?" discussion.

This would be Abby Clancy. She's a soccer WAG. I should have played soccer. Maybe if I have a son I can convince him to play soccer.



32. St. Louis Rams (0-7)
31. Cleveland Browns (1-6)
30. Washington Redskins (2-5)
29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-7)
28. Tennessee Titans (0-6)
27. Oakland Raiders (2-5)
26. Kansas City Chiefs (1-6)
25. Detroit Lions (1-5)
24. Carolina Panthers (2-4)
23. Seattle Seahawks (2-4)
22. Buffalo Bills (3-4)
21. Miami Dolphins (2-4)



20. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3)
19. Chicago Bears (3-3)
18. San Diego Chargers (3-3)
17. San Francisco 49ers (3-3)
16. New York Jets (4-3)
15. Baltimore Ravens (3-3)
14. Atlanta Falcons (4-2)
13. Dallas Cowboys (4-2)
12. Houston Texans (4-3)
11. Arizona Cardinals (4-2)



10. Green Bay Packers (4-2)
9. New York Giants (5-2)
8. Philadelphia Eagles (4-2)
7. Minnesota Vikings (6-1)
6. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2)
5. Cincinnati Bengals (5-2)
4. New England Patriots (5-2)
3. Denver Broncos (6-0)
2. Indianapolis Colts (6-0)
1. New Orleans Saints (6-0)



I could just as easily have put the Colts number one due to their ass whooping of the Rams while the Saints played an absolute piss poor 29:56 of a game. However, I kept the Saints as top dogs due to their strength of schedule.

Saints' opp. winning pct. -- .450
Colts' opp. winning pct. -- .297

The Saints also have a slightly higher point differential than the Colts, 111 to 102.

The Saints are also averaging more yards per game and points per game than the Colts.

Geaux Saints.
