Zero's 2015 [Week 7] NFL Power Rankings

We have a pair of new teams in the top five this week. How's this for silly? Panthers win and lose two spots and their opponent the Seahawks rises seven spots. I was tempted to drop them a peg or two, but I want these to be more data/formula based than spite based. 🙂

The Texans and Seahawks jumped up the most with their +7 improvement followed by Dolphins who climbed +6. The biggest floppers were Jaguars losing -7 spots with Redskins and Titans both moving -6 back.

Green Bay Packers 0
Arizona Cardinals 0
New England Patriots 0
Cincinnati Bengals 2
New York Jets 2
Buffalo Bills -2
Carolina Panthers -2
San Diego Chargers 0
Seattle Seahawks 7
Pittsburgh Steelers 5
New York Giants -1
Atlanta Falcons -1
Cleveland Browns 4
Denver Broncos -2
Tennessee Titans -6
Oakland Raiders -3
Philadelphia Eagles 1
Dallas Cowboys 1
Minnesota Vikings -5
Houston Texans 7
Kansas City Chiefs 2
Miami Dolphins 6
New Orleans Saints 1
Indianapolis Colts 1
St. Louis Rams -3
Washington Redskins -6
San Francisco 49ers 4
Jacksonville Jaguars -7
Baltimore Ravens -3
Chicago Bears -1
Tampa Bay Buccaneers -1
Detroit Lions 0

I'm feeling Jets over Patriots this week for my upset. The Patriots are 9.5 favorites, but the Jets and Dolphins seem to always give Patriots a run for their money and I think there is going to be a Patriot let down. Bonus upset pick, 49ers over Seahawks who are 6 point favorites.

Apparently you haven't done your "pick'em" yet, because it's 100% for the Patriots at this point.

Yeah, that is interesting about the Seahawks - they choke it away and you raise them up? It would really be interesting to see the nuts and bolts of your ranking system. Yours looks better this week than any previous although still way off in the bottom half.

I'll be back with mine later.

As I said last week, I tend to start out with who was expected to be good or bad before the season and then adjust, but not in too extreme a way. I also often deviate from my own rankings in the Pick 'Em - maybe why I am so far down there.

Like I said, I think it was a decent algorithm, the algorithm might need some improvements still and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Chargers being the big movers going up on this list in coming weeks. Most algorithms have flaws, and the Chargers could be falling into one at the moment in this one.

As for the Titans and Chiefs, I'm not sure they're that good of teams.

As I have said, it's all about who can beat who(m). You better recheck your algorithm hahahahaha, cuz it sure doesn't come close to doing that.

At least you made an effort, though. A LOT of others haven't got the testicular fortitude.

dfosterf (14h) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (14h) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (17h) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (17h) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (17h) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (19h) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (20h) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (20h) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (22h) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (22h) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (23h) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (23h) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (23h) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (23h) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (23h) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy

dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious

dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*

dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Packers signed someone for three year deal

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : lol i know it's insane ... sign up for the waiver wire then you'll know

wpr (26-Aug) : YES!!!!!!

Mucky Tundra (26-Aug) : WE WANT THE LIST! WE WANT THE LIST!

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : @JJLahey · 2m Holy crap, Packers, where the heck is the list?

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : haha folks on Tweeter every year this time ... 'where is list Packers!!" hahaha

wpr (26-Aug) : He played pretty good.

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NAZIR STACKHOUSE HAS MADE THE 53

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : NOOOOO KALEN IS GONE

Zero2Cool (26-Aug) : Kalen King and Kamal Hadden making it. me thinks
