NFL Week 4 | NFL Power Rankings

While the teams last week played Jekyll and Hyde from the previous week as usual in the NFL, the cream always rises to the top, and maybe Cinderella Buffalo got to kiss the prince after all and prevail. Here are my football power rankings headed into NFL Week 4 of the season. My numbers are based on numerous things, including offensive and defensive stats, injuries, turnover ratios, penalties committed, Overall starting QB rating, and special teams.

I have the team listed and the NFL power ranking next to them. Weigh in injuries at game time, home field (2 to 4 points depending on team), weather, and any intangibles you may feel worthwhile in terms of adding or taking away points to a power ranking, and you will arrive at an overlay against the Las Vegas Line based on the NFL point spread.

1. GREEN BAY – 96 – Any doubts were ceased this weekend. Easy week this week at home against Denver.
2. NEW ENGLAND – 95 – A bump in the road against upstart Buffalo and now a roadie to Oakland. Bounce back? Check that total!
3. NEW ORLEANS – 95 – Big win over Houston. Must score to win but Turnovers not plaguing them this year as much.
4. BALTIMORE – 94 – Big win this week after a debacle at Tennessee, have NY Jets Sunday Night, will determine their path.
5. SAN DEIGO – 94 (tie) – Offense solid – Defense Solid – Coaching stinks. Miami at home after a KC scare.
6. DETROIT- 92- I am on board. Play from behind, solid defense, QB good, deep at skill spots, well coached
7. ATLANTA – 92 (tie) – Tough loss at Tampa but still talented on offense, big play capability, defense is sound and have Seattle this week
8. HOUSTON – 92(tie) – Tough loss st NO. Home against Pitt this week, Foster to be back – Defense will rebound, solid QB.
