week 6 power rankings

1. TB +3 .

Beat SF 30-19

Who would have thought? This team, despite their injuries this week, they still put up 30 points in an impressive performance from Baker Mayfield, and it didn't require going to the final second of the game. By far the most confidence I have in any team this year so far.

2. DET - .

Lost 30-17 to KC

Despite the loss, I still really like Detroit. They were missing 7 starters in their secondary against Kansas City, an unfathomably amount of injuries. Genuinely a different game if they are healthy on the back-end. Now, if they don't start getting healthy on defense, it will be like last year all over again.

3. SEA +5 .

Beat JAX 20-12

I am super high on this team for a lot of reasons. But to win a Super Bowl, you have to have the right GM/roster construction, Head Coach, and QB. I feel like this team has all 3 of those, plus an elite OC. Klint Kubiak is going to be a Head coach somewhere next year.

4. IND +1 .

Beat ARI 31-27

You can say all you want about the opponents they have faced so far this year, but they are still delivering, and they are a couple of plays away from being 6-0.

5..BUF -2

Lost 24-14 to ATL

The defense is looking pretty bad. They showed up in the second half, but then the offense didn't. I can't rule this team out yet because I still think they have the pieces and QB, but something to monitor for sure.

6. GB +1 .

Beat CIN 27-18

Maybe a little too close for comfort for awhile, but they pulled away in the end. Would like to see them really get Golden more involved in the offense.

7..PHI -6 .

Lost 34-17 to NYG

That was ugly, and the Eagles feel completely broken. I'm not selling stock on them yet, because this is exactly what happened last year, but certainly something to monitor.

8. LAR -2 .

Beat BAL 17-3

Only 17 points? One of the worst defenses in the league, and it felt like they were scraping points on the board. I don't give them much credit for holding the Cooper Rush-led offense to 3 points either. Not really a win to write home about.

9..DEN - .

Beat NYJ 13-11

Absymal offensive performance, elite defensive performance. They don't move because of that. I think their offense is more likely to improve though than their defense is to regress.

10..KC +4 .

Beat DET 30-17

The offense does look better than it has all year, but I have to see a little more. I'm just not all the way sold on this team beating good teams, as the Lions secondary was entirely on the Injury report.

11. JAX - .

Lost 20-12 to SEA

I can't be too harsh, as they were just outmatched by Seattle. Didn't play bad, and stayed in the game. I still really like how this team is playing.

12. NE +4 .

Beat NO 25-19

I am buying all of the Drake Maye stock there is. He is playing like a top 5 QB in the league, and the confidence in him to go out there and win the game for New England is real, and honestly reliable.

13. ATL +4

Beat BUF 24-14

This team's ceiling is so high if the offense can fully realize their potential. The defense has been very good all throughout the year, and the offense may be starting to click.

14. PIT +1 .

Beat CLE 23-9

Just not as impressed by this team as others are. I don't feel like they have a statement win, as their best win is a close game against the Vikings in Ireland. To be a top dog, you have to beat a top dog.

15. CHI +4 .

Beat WSH 25-24

The offense is clicking more and more with Ben Johnson, and the defense is getting takeaways. The Bears just need to eliminate their own mistakes and they just might make the playoffs.

16..WSH -6

Lost 25-24 to CHI

I think there is real concern for this team, as it just feels like a worse version of last season. There is less weapons on offense, and the defense isn't always reliable.

17. LAC -4

Beat MIA 29-27

They have played poorly for 3 straight weeks, but I would imagine getting Joe Alt back will help immensely. That being said, I will still need to see it before I believe it.

18. HOU - .

bye week

bye week.

19. SF -7 .

Lost 30-19 to TB

It feels a bit harsh, but the injuries are just becoming too much to deal with. As solid as Mac Jones is playing, there is still ways to beat him, and if Purdy comes back, he wasn't playing well either.

20. MIN +1 .

bye week

bye week.

21. CAR +2

Beat DAL 30-27

Rico Dowdle is keeping this team's season alive, which is actually a crazt statement to make. I think there is a solid little team in here somewhere, and they are showing it. Now, they just have to show it against a good defense.

22. DAL -2 .

Lost 30-27 to CAR

The defense is going to hold Dak back from winning the MVP this year. There is no QB more valuable to their team than Dak to the Cowboys.

23..BAL -1 .

Lost 17-3 to LAR

The question for the Ravens is going to be: Is this too big of a hole to climb out of? The AFC North still feels weak, so...

24. NYG +3.

Beat PHI 34-17

I'm not buying stock on this team just yet, as they are too inconsistent. It felt like Philly beating themselves all thursday night.

25. ARI -1 .

Lost 31-27 to IND

Kyler Murray could be suiting up for a new team next year, as I feel like this team is trending towards tearing it down again.

26. NO - .

Lost 25-19 to NE

This team is pretty competitve, they have been in every game so far this year besides Seattle.

27. CLE -2

Lost 23-9 to PIT

Dillon Gabriel did look pretty rough on Sunday. Not saying he's out of time, but there's beginning to be not a lot of reasons to not at least try Sanders.
