Here at the ICT Zone, our power rankings are based on a very simple philosophy. "To be the man you gotta beat the man", if a lower ranked team beats a higher ranked team, then the two teams automatically swap spots regardless of results from prior weeks.
Last week, the Saints took over the number 1 spot for the first time, and this might be their last week on top after the unfortunate Drew Brees injury. Who knows though, Jameis Winston might ball out. There wasn't a lot of movement this week but that DeAndre Hopkins catch deserves to be mentioned.
Tune in next week to see how the Power Rankings change.
1. New Orleans Saints
(7-2)
Jameis Winston is going to surprise us.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers
(9-0)
They have only played 3 teams with winning records.
3. Miami Dolphins
(6-3)
This is an elite team, I am convinced.
4. Kansas City Chiefs
(8-1)
Patrick Mahomes is now the leader in the MVP race.
5. New England Patriots +17
(4-5)
One more game.
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
(7-3)
These wins feel more and more meaningless.
7. Cincinnati Bengals
(2-6-1)
Still plenty of reasons to be encouraged.
8. Atlanta Falcons
(3-6)
The quest for .500 resumes.
9. Las Vegas Raiders
(6-3)
11 wins is a realistic target.
10. Arizona Cardinals +4
(6-3)
DeAndre Hopkins deserves a bonus check from the Jordan brand.
11. Indianapolis Colts
(6-3)
They'll shock someone in the playoffs.
12. Cleveland Browns
(6-3)
10 wins is the target here.
13. Minnesota Vikings
(4-5)
Okay all of a sudden, they have a chance.
14. Buffalo Bills -4
(7-3)
Unfortunate to lose like that.
15. Los Angeles Rams +1
(6-3)
Jalen Ramsey is still elite.
16. Seattle Seahawks -1
(6-3)
Have never seen someone fall out of the MVP race like this.
17. Denver Broncos
(3-6)
Not sure what they do.
18. Green Bay Packers
(7-2)
This feels worse than a 7-2 team.
19. New York Giants +1
(3-7)
The Giants might really make the playoffs.
20. Philadelphia Eagles -1
(3-5-1)
You can't lose that game.
21. Detroit Lions +2
(4-5)
This is not that bad of a team.
22. Baltimore Ravens -17
(6-3)
Had to hold that loss against them.
23. Washington -2
(2-7)
Good to see Alex Smith back and playing well.
24. Carolina Panthers
(3-7)
Tough times never last.
25. Tennessee Titans
(6-3)
They have to beat out the Colts.
26. New York Jets
(0-9)
7 more games and you're good.
27. Chicago Bears
(5-5)
Wow, this changed fast.
28. Dallas Cowboys
(2-7)
Lets just end the season.
29. Los Angeles Chargers
(2-7)
Get to 4 wins.
30. San Francisco 49ers
(4-6)
They need a new Quarterback already.
31. Houston Texans
(2-7)
Must have hurt seeing DeAndre Hopkins do that.
32. Jacksonville Jaguars
(1-8)
Plenty of Quarterbacks in this next draft.
