Thursday again, and the weeks keep seeming to get shorter. The picks were 9-7 last week, for a total record of 135-88-1. I was 0-2 on the personal picks, since I picked both Arizona and the NY Giants – this brings me back to even on the year, at 16-16. INDIANAPOLIS at Jacksonville: Indianapolis has [...]
Looks like the rankings have calmed down again this week. No “big movers” (teams moving 10+ ranks). The top and bottom of the rankings seem fairly stable this week (although Carolina and Denver switched places), while the middle saw most of the turmoil (the majority of which was leapfrogged by Chicago). Despite a number of [...]

Another week of rising instability in the rankings. Two “big movers” this week (teams that jump 10 or more slots in the rankings). The Redskins collapsed from #6 to #19 after losing to the Ravens—the loss erased their win over New Orleans, which had propped them up in the rankings. Meanwhile, the Broncos leapt from [...]
