Welcome to the week 6 edition of the official PSH NFL Power Rankings!
Mallard, jjflr, and r5d3 join us each week as regular members of the
power ranking team. They will be joined by a different guest ranker
each week, who will give his or her input into how the PSH rankings
will look for that week.
Week 6’s ‘guest ranker’? The lovely and talented ………………. Chicky !!!!!
Chicky hails from mid-Michigan and loves all things Michigan. When
she’s not on PSH, you can find her at Hantz Stadium rooting on one of
the top programs in division 2 football, Northwood University, checking
up on Dan LeFevour from nearby Central Michigan, or keeping an eye on
former Michigan based players in pro football. Outside of football, she
loves auto racing, scrapbooking and keeping up with her boys and her
husband r5d3.
Are you interested in joining the PSH ranking team for a guest spot? Go
to the ‘Announcements’ area and look for the thread to sign up. Slots
are still available.
As a reminder, jjflr and r5d3 use mathematical/statistical models for
their rankings. These formulas are not available to the public but may
be available for the right price. Mallard and, now, the weekly guest,
will rank teams purely based on their subjective opinions and years of
wisdom. The 4 individual rankings are then compiled and averaged,
giving you, the lucky reader, the official PSH Weekly Power Rankings!
This week, all 4 rankers voted unanimously for the #1 team …………. Even r5d3’s formula agrees ……………..
1. Tennessee Titans (5-0) – Mallard: “They didn’t really climb the mountain; everyone else has fallen off.”
2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2) – Chicky: “No matter who Chucky puts under center, this team keeps on going.”
3. Pittsburgh Steelers (4-1) – ruuuuudiii: “Are they this good or will
they get exposed? Only time, and the NFC East, will tell.”
4. New York Giants (4-1) – jjflr: “The Giants ran into a buzz-saw on
Monday night. They got the Browns best shot and got knocked down. Don’t
worry. They’ll get back up.”
5. Philadelphia Eagles (3-3) – ruuuuudiii: “Yup, my pick to win the NFC
is still looking great statistically and I still can’t stand it.”
6. Arizona Cardinals (4-2) – jjflr: “They will go 8-0 at home and 1-7 on the road. Yep, 9-7 will win the NFC West.”
7. Buffalo Bills (4-1) – ruuuuudiii: “Buffalo just needs to get on the
field and get the Arizona taste out of their mouths. They’re still very
much a contender in a weakened AFC East.”
8. Washington Redskins (4-2) – Mallard: “They look really good when they aren’t looking really bad.”
9. New Orleans Saints (3-3) – Mallard: “Can Drew Brees be the next NFL superstar?”
10. Dallas Cowboys (4-2) – Mallard: “With Romo out, Dallas goes from first to worst in the NFC East.”
11. Chicago Bears (3-3) – jjflr: “The Bears 3 losses are by a combined
8 points and they were leading late in the 4th quarter of each one.
Ouch”
12. San Diego Chargers (3-3) – Chicky: “So you beat the Patriots? No pat on the back for you.”
13. Indianapolis Colts (3-2) – Chicky: “They have arrived.”
14. Carolina Panthers (4-2) –ruuuuudiii: “Need to pick up the pieces
quickly if they want to prove their 4-1 start was not a fluke.”
15. Atlanta Falcons (4-2) – Chicky: “Who knew a rookie QB could lead a team to a possible division title?”
16. Green Bay Packers (3-3) – ruuuuudiii: “Much needed win, but the
question of whether they can beat a good team still remains.”
17. New York Jets (3-2) – Chicky: “They are clearly a middle of the road team.”
18. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3) – Mallard: “The will is there but the talent is not.”
19. Baltimore Ravens (2-3) – jjflr: “If that performance wasn’t a clear case of a team quitting, I don’t know what is.”
20. Denver Broncos (4-2) – Mallard: “It didn’t take long for Jay Cutler
to fall back to earth. This team is ready to plummet down the charts ……
if we hadn’t already been ahead of the curve here at PSH.”
21. Minnesota Vikings (3-3) – ruuuuudiii: “Well, that was ugly, and
undeserved. I’m just about ready to close the book on the Vikings this
season.”
22. Miami Dolphins (2-3) – jjflr: “This is a fiery team that isn’t
going to quit. They aren’t super-talented, though, so they will be
inconsistent like this.”
23. New England Patriots (3-2) – Chicky: “This year’s biggest surprise team in the gutter.”
24. Cleveland Browns (2-3) – Chicky: “If only they played like this week every week.”
25. Houston Texans (1-4) – ruuuuudiii: “Finally caught the breaks. Can they do anything to save the season?”
26. San Francisco 49ers (2-4) – jjflr: “At least their offense has improved this year.”
27. St. Louis Rams (1-4) – jjflr: “They got lucky but they definitely played more inspired football under their new coach.”
28. Oakland Raiders (1-4) – Chicky: “This team is a total mess and will be until Davis sells the team.”
29. Seattle Seahawks (1-4) – ruuuuudiii: “Injuries or no injuries. Believe It. This team is now bad.”
30. Kansas City Chiefs (1-4) – Chicky: “Hopefully they worked on football 101 during the bye.”
31. Cincinnati Bengals (0-6) – jjflr: “How can a team be 0-6 and not be ranked last? (see below).”
32. Detroit Lions (0-5) – ruuuuudiii: “Sure, they had to play their
best game on the day the Rams won a game. Still in the cellar.”
