Midwest Spy's Power Rankings (through Week 7). Top 10 only.
If a team is ranked ahead of another team, it means I think that team would beat any team ranked lower on a neutral field.
1. Seattle Seahawks 6-1
2. Denver Broncos 6-1
3. New Orleans Saints 5-1
4. Indianapolis Colts 5-2
5. San Francisco 49ers 5-2
6. Cincinnati Bengals 5-2
7. Green Bay Packers 4-2
8. New England Patriots 5-2
9. Kansas City Chiefs 7-0
10. Dallas Cowboys 4-3
Gonna catch some heat from NrKerr, but the Chiefs have honestly not played anyone worth a shit (except the Cowboys, and they beat them by 1 at Arrowhead).
By contrast, the Colts have already beaten SEA, SF and DEN so far this season.
Week 8 Picks (Last Week 10-5, 59-48 overall):
Car over TAMP: My God, how can Carolina give this game away? They're playing very well, and are going up against one of the winless Florida squads. CAM, DON'T LET ME DOWN!!!
DET over Dall: I get worried about the future of the Lions when they lose games like they did last week against the Bengals. They pull off a close one against the 'Boys.
KC over Cle: A wise man once said, 'It's not WHO you play, it's WHEN you play them.' Too bad KC didn't get the Browns a few weeks back when Hoyer was playing, it coulda been a game. Another cupcake falls at Arrowhead.
Mia over NE: Upset of the week. The Fish show up and take one in Foxboro.
NO over Buff: A Beat-Down on Bourbon Street is on the way.
PHIL over NYG: Take this one to the bank. The Giants suck, and they'll be complacent now that they got one in the win column.
SF over JAX: This one counts as a home game for the Jags (being played in London). If the Niners lose this game, HotD owes me the sexual favor of my choosing.
CINCY over NYJ: Jets are looking good. This could be scary for Cincy.
OAK over Pitt: Steeler fans ready to embrace their club again should prepare for the worst.
DEN over Wash: Manning and the Broncos take out their anger on a miserable Redskins secondary.
Atl over ARIZ: I still believe that the Falcons are better than their record. Another game that a contender HAS to win.
GB over MINN: This will either be really, really close with the Vikes having a chance to pull it out, OR the Packers win by 21+. I'm going with the latter.
Sea over STL: Don't know how the Seahawks can lose this game.
