The Colts are back down to #32 after losing their last two games and moving to 2-7 on the season. The Colts have lost 4 out of their last 5 games and the struggle bus is moving along. They are ranked 3rd worst in total offense per game and have the 6th worst rushing attack and that is with Jonathan Taylor. They are also 7th in total interceptions thrown, with 25. Turning the ball over and not rushing effectively equals losing.
The Patriots have lost 3 in a row and are now sitting at 2-7. The season is starting to get away from them as the Jets continue to separate themselves in the standings. Drake Maye hasn't been great, but he really hasn't been terrible either. 12 TDs and 18 INTs isn't that bad when you look at the rest of the QB numbers in the league. The real issue is the defense, giving up 341.5 YPG which is 5th worst in the MOF.
30. 
Denver Broncos
The Broncos are down 7 spots to 30, but they are actually pending a disconnection over the Chiefs. So they will be moving up next week for sure. The Broncos are having a tough time, this is AJ's rookie season of course, and you're expected to have some bumps and bruises but Bo Nix has 25 interceptions in just 7 games and he's on pace for 61 interceptions. The run game is strong with McLaughlin so maybe focus more on that?
29. 
Atlanta Falcons
BigReg's Falcons are up 3 spots and out of the basement after a huge 20-3 win over the Cowboys last week. Is the time now for Atlanta to turn it around? It needs to be. Cousins only threw 2 interceptions in the win over Dallas, but now he has 31 interceptions in 7 games which is on pace for 75 interceptions which would be close to being in the top 10 of all time. Obviously, if Atlanta can minimize those turnovers, they will be in every game.
28. 
Los Angeles Rams
Coach Boobie's Rams are staying at 28th in the rankings after a nice 45-29 win over the Raiders, but then followed up with 2 sim losses. Boobie lost power due to the hurricane and we hope everything is okay we know its a scary time! When Boobie is at full force, he's a great coach with a solid team and they could possibly make a run if they can get some consistency going.
27. 
Chicago Bears
The Bears are down 3 more spots to 27th as they are riding a 4 game losing streak. The Bears have the 32nd ranked offense in the MOF, with only 180.8 yards per game. Caleb Williams is having a historically bad season, with just 4 TDs and 25 INTs through 8 games. D'Andre Swift is injured but does have 313 yards rushing as well. The Bears need to open up that offense and start scoring points.
26. 
Houston Texans
The Texans finally snapped their 5 game losing streak last week with a 24-21 win over the Colts. They followed that up by starting a new losing streak with a 24-10 loss to the Jets. The Texans are having trouble running the football. 2nd worst rushing attack in the league with just 60.9 yards per game, they are going to need to improve that so they can possess the ball longer.
25. 
Cleveland Browns
Things are starting to turn around in Cleveland as the Browns have won 3 out of their last 5 and are moving closer to 500. They have 2 huge games coming up against the Steelers that will make or break their season. The bright spot for the Browns is that rushing offense, which is ranked 3rd in the MOF averaging 132.1 yards per game, and they even traded Nick Chubb.
24. 
Miami Dolphins
Miami is down 11 spots, the biggest drop this week and it's because of their 3 game losing streak. They haven't just lost these games, they are being dominated in these games. 31-17, 20-7, 42-14. It's ugly. Tua is having a very hard time as well, with just 5 TDs and 22 INTs. On top of that, they just dealt Jaylen Waddle away as OBJ continues to have a nice season. Miami's offense is struggling, and they will need to turn it around to compete.
After starting 0-2 the Eagles have traded wins and losses over the last 6 weeks and thats why they find themselves 23rd in the rankings and 3-5 on the season. There is a lot of time left in the season to make a run but they need to start soon as he has some tough games coming up with Dallas and Washington. The Eagles bright spot is that 6th ranked defense, giving up just 268 YPG!
The 49ers are up 5 spots after a huge 37-27 season saving win over the Cowboys in Week 8. A much needed bye in Week 9, sets them up for a run to finish the season. Maybe the more shocking thing is that McCaffrey has yet to get injured, playing all 8 games and averaging about 75 yards per game. The 49ers rush defense also very strong, 3rd best in the MOF giving up 81.3 YPG.
What a difference a week can make, right? The Bengals are down 11 spots after losing 3 straight games and dropping to 4-5 on the season. Joe Burrow has had a tough stretch of games with 12 interceptions and just 3 touchdowns. The Bengals still have the 5th best offense in the MOF, averaging 349.7 YPG however their defense is 4th worst in the league, giving up 347 YPG.
The Vikings are staying at 20th in the rankings after going 2-1 in their last 3 games. They have moved to 4-5 on the season and they are right in the thick of the NFC Wild-Card race. JJ McCarthy is having a tough rookie season with 10 TDs and 24 INTs, but that rushing offense is showing up now with Austin Ekeler getting the starting nod. The Vikings need to improve their 3rd worst defense, giving up 360.9 YPG.
The Saints started off the season losing their first 3 games, then they won their next 4 to shoot up the rankings! Now they have lost their last 2 to drop to 4-5 on the season and down 1 spot in the rankings. To say that these guys are streaky would be an understatement. I really do like the play of QB Derek Carr, who does have only 1 more INT than TD, and that's actually pretty good in the MOF.
MackDaddy's Chargers have the biggest jump of the week, up 11 spots to 18th in the rankings after their 4 game win streak. The streak was snapped last week vs the Titans, but they have found themselves right back in the thick of things and you can thank Nick Chubb for seriously providing a huge spark to this offense. This offense is ranked 7th in the MOF, gaining 334.6 YPG.
17. 
Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens are coming off their best stretch of games since the beginning of the season. They are 2-2 in their last 4 games, and they are playing better football. The offense of the Ravens is 9th overall, pass offense is 6th overall. Lamar Jackson is starting to run the ball a bit more , but definitely not enough to really take advantage of Lamar's skills. Until then, the Ravens might be stuck flirting with 500.
16. 
Buffalo Bills
Coach Beast got his Bills back to 500 last week when they were 3-3, they have gone 1-2 since then and drop back down a spot and under 500 again. Josh Allen is probably one of the biggest reasons why the Bills are not having success just yet. 7 TDs and 22 INTs through 9 games just isn't providing enough offense and points to compete. James Cook is having himself a great season with 10 TDs and 671 yards rushing.
15. 
Seattle Seahawks
The surging Seahawks have jumped 11 spots and tied with the biggest jump of the week, up to 15th in the rankings. Seattle has won 4 straight games and the trades they have made have really paid off. Seattle's defense is the brightest spot of this team, they are ranked 2nd overall giving up just 248.7 YPG and its their pass defense, just giving up 142.7 YPG which is best in the MOF!
The Chiefs are staying at 14 after going 1-1 last week, with a big loss to the Raiders and a bounce back win over the Bucs. They have a loss pending to the Broncos which is very surprising and really puts a damper on their playoff hopes. The Chiefs are turning the ball over at a rapid rate, even though Mahomes as 28 TDs he also has 22 INTs which is hurting them more than helping.
Jfon's Bucs are up 6 spots after going 5-1 before dropping a game to the Chiefs. The Bucs are on fire right now and their offense is scoring points, 13th overall, and their rush defense is 7th overall giving up just 89.9 YPG. Baker Mayfield has 13 TDs but 24 INTs, and that's probably why the Bucs aren't even better th an 5-4 , if Baker can control those interceptions, the sky is the limit for these guys.
12. 
New York Giants
The Giants are down 6 spots after 2 losses in a row, one to Pittsburgh and one to the Commanders. The Giants find themselves at 5-4 right now and only a half game behind Dallas for 1st place in the NFC East. I love the way Desmond Ridder was playing before he got hurt, Daniel Jones has started the last two games and that's probably some of the reason they lost both.
The Commanders have won 2 straight games and catapulted themselves up 6 spots to 11th in the rankings. 1 of those 2 wins was a big divisional victory over the Giants and with Dallas on the schedule two times still, they believe the division is absolutely in reach. Jayden Daniels has become a turnover machine with 36 interceptions through 9 games. Roc is known for this kind of offense though as he's trying to dev his rookies up, Tyler Harrell for example.
10. 
Detroit Lions
The Lions are up 2 spots to 10th in the Power Rankings this week as Canes is coming off an NCAA Franchise championship. That momentum has carried over into the MOF despite their 22-3 loss to the Packers last week. Other than that, they have been lights out. Their QB woes are continuing however, with Trey Lance giving way to Hendon Hooker, who has also been mediocre. They will need to figure out that QB position if they want to make a run in the playoffs.
The Cowboys after starting 5-1 have lost 2 games in a row. Panic has not yet set in, but I can see it bubbling in Big D. Did they make 1 move too many? Is the chemistry off a bit? I think they're just going through a little slump and they will be just fine, starting this week vs Philly. I think the realization of signing Dak is becoming more and more of a possibility as Goff and Penix continue to not play up to standard.
Welcome back to the MOF Coach Domi_TSX! Coach Straw wasn't working out and he was let go. Domi has only played 1 game and the other two have been sims. His 1 game back he did beat the Bears 35-7, so it looks like he's going to pick up right where Coach Straw left off. In that 35-7 game Domi picked off Caleb Williams 4 times, and Kyler Murray tore it up running for 2 Tds and throwing for 2 more.
Here comes Pettigrew! The Titans have won 5 of 6 with just a 26-20 loss coming to the Lions in Week 8. The Titans are playing very well, and it's all because of that rushing game. Pollard has 777 yards, Spears has 241 yards. Will Levis finally has the same amount of TDs and INTs and they're just not turning the ball over, and that's how you win games.
The Raiders have been on fire lately, winning 5 out of their last 6 and in control of the AFC West. Kind of a surprise that the Raiders are playing this well with not many play makers on this team. Geno Smith has been a shot in the arm as he's continuing to play well. Zamir White just came back, and they are starting to get healthier. The Raiders stay within themselves, and don't turn it over much and thats why they are winning games.
The Jets started the season 3-0 and have been 1-2 since, they lose a tough 3 pt game to the Broncos and then were dominated by the Bills 49-14. The Jets have the top defense in the MOF, giving up just 216.3 ypg which is 16 yards better than 2nd place. QB Aaron Rodgers hasn't looked very Aaron Rodgers-like with 15 interceptions and just 10 touchdowns through 6 games.
The Steelers are up 5 spots after a tough loss to the Raiders, they've bounced back nicely winning their last 2 games and staying on top of the AFC North. I have been extremely impressed with Gouch's defense with these Steelers. They have the 4th best rush defense in the MOF, giving up just 83.8 YPG and they have 18 sacks too. So Gouch really putting that pressure on the QBs and that equals wins.
The Packers continue to play just close to flawless football with a big win over Jacksonville and Detroit last week. They are 8-1, they are commanding the NFC North and with the loss of Straw, he hasn't lost to any active coaches this season. See what i did there? The Packers have one of the best rushing attacks in the MOF, with Josh Jacobs putting up some numbers, 925 yards and 7 TDs averaging 6.4 YPC.
Dre continues to play fantastic and is becoming a real favorite to represent the AFC in the big game. The Jaguars are near the top in turnover differential, which means they just are not giving the ball up. Trevor Lawrence is an MVP candidate with 16 TDs and 8 INTs, his QB Rating is 118.7 and his completion percentage is 72.5%. Very very good QB play is equating to a lot of success for Coach Dre's Jags.
Another week, another top spot by the Panthers. Carolina and Coach Dev continue to be undefeated with more big wins, 49-3 over the Saints, 35-23 over Denver and they just continue to roll. Bryce Young has 24 TDs and 13 INTs. They have two runningbacks that look like they could rush for over 1,000 with Hubbard and Brooks. Quite possibly the most impressive stat, is they are scoring 48.3 PPG which is by far the best in the MOF.
