NFL Rankings and Football Predictions

A busy week has kept me from getting to this until the very last minute, but since there are both college and NFL games tonight, I'm doing a double post in preparation. Road teams had a field day on Sunday, winning 10 of the 14 total games. Green Bay remained undefeated, but weren't as dominant as they should have been against San Diego, so they lost their top spot in the rankings. Here are my new completely unbiased statistical rankings for each team.

TW. Team (Record) Rating (LW)
1. Detroit (6-2) -10.85 (2)
2. Green Bay (8-0) -10.53 (1)

3. San Francisco (7-1) -8.52 (3)

4. Chicago (5-3) -7.10 (9)
5. Baltimore (6-2) -6.88 (8)

6. Atlanta (5-3) -5.61 (10)
7. Philadelphia (3-5) -5.16 (6)
8. New Orleans (6-3) -5.13 (4)

9. Houston (6-3) -4.05 (7)
10. NY Jets (5-3) -3.97 (15)
11. Cincinnati (6-2) -3.83 (11)

12. Buffalo (5-3) -2.38 (5)
13. Pittsburgh (6-3) -1.57 (13)
14. New England (5-3) -1.23 (12)

15. NY Giants (6-2) 0.33 (18)
16. Dallas (4-4) 0.81 (14)
17. Carolina (2-6) 1.57 (16)
18. Minnesota (2-6) 2.07 (17)

19. Tampa Bay (4-4) 3.15 (19)
20. Miami (1-7) 3.75 (30)
21. Jacksonville (2-6) 4.00 (20)
22. San Diego (4-4) 4.61 (23)
23. Arizona (2-6) 5.04 (22)
24. Washington (3-5) 5.13 (21)
25. Tennessee (4-4) 5.32 (24)

26. Seattle (2-6) 8.19 (26)
27. Saint Louis (1-7) 9.00 (27)
28. Denver (3-5) 9.27 (31)
29. Cleveland (3-5) 9.36 (28)

30. Oakland (4-4) 13.87 (29)
31. Kansas City (4-4) 14.27 (25)

32. Indianapolis (0-9) 18.57 (32)

Team of the Week

The Miami Dolphins, winless entering the weekend, were starting a new quarterback and going on the road to face a Kansas City team that had won 4 games in a row, so what happened next was nothing short of miraculous. The Dolphins didn't just win the game, they dominated from beginning to end, winning by the largest margin of any team over the weekend, 31-3. With the struggling Redskins coming to Miami this weekend, they may start a winning streak of their own.
