Thee NFL Power Poll

With a quarter of the season in the books, it's time to release my initial power poll, The Magnificent 7.
 
1. Minnesota - Hopefully their playoff life doesn't come down to a field goal attempt.
2. Pittsburgh - With Bell back, the #1 spot was in consideration.
3. New England - With Brady back, the #1 spot was in consideration.
4. Seattle - Their demise was slightly premature, but the O Line must improve.
5. Philadelphia - I still believe a fall back to Earth in imminent.
6. Denver - At some point the QB issue has to cost them. Talib suspension looming?
7. Green Bay - I want them to be so much better

Week 4 Review

New Orleans @ (-4) San Diego - My Pick, San Diego 34-31. What Happened, New Orleans 35-34. Like most people, I turned this game off. Then the Chargers did Chargers things, turned the ball over twice late in the game, and Brees kept the Saints season alive.
Oakland @ (-3.5) Baltimore - My Pick, Oakland 27-20. What Happened, Oakland 28-27. Could be a great growth game for the young Raiders. Winning on the road in Baltimore is never easy.
Kansas City @ (-5.5) Pittsburgh - My Pick, Pittsburgh 31-17. What happened, Pittsburgh 43-14. This escalated quickly and could've been worse. Pittsburgh is a beast with Bell back.
New York Giant @ (-4.5) Minnesota - My Pick, Minnesota 20-13. What Happened, Minnesota 24-10. This Vikings D is for real. The Giants having zero first quarter targets for Beckham is unacceptable but so is his behavior.
Cleveland @ (-7.5) Washington - My Pick, Cleveland 30-28. What Happened, Washington 31-20. Another week, another Browns game with an inexplicable play. I will never understand how this became the Redskins possession. The Browns should be 3-1 and I can't wait to see another never before seen play next week against Brady and the Pats.

Week 4 - 4-1
Overall - 8-14
