Not many changes here since there were only two games. We’ve got both winners fairly high up in the graph. It looks like we’ll have New Orleans very slightly favored over Indianapolis. However, if you ignore the Week 16 and 17 results for both teams, then Indianapolis would be favored. Loops are after the jump.
Well, the best weekend of the NFL Season was a bit of a fizzle, at least in terms of excitement level. Maybe next year, eh? ITB and Isaacson-Tarbell were 3-1 last week, while Beatpaths was 2-2.

Hey folks, Tom here with the ranking analysis for last week’s divisional round playoff games. No big movers this week, and the overall numbers stay quite the same as last week. As you can see, the stability remains the same as last week, which is expected given the small number of games, and the absorption [...]
Holy smokes, I forgot to put an intro to this thing! Well, this is Kenneth, and here’s what I have to say about the rankings. Not too much movement this week…and what movement there is might seem counter-intuitive to you. But enough preview–on to the rankings! You can see the graph here. Rank Team Notes [...]
Slightly more predictable week, and more boring, too, at least up until the last game. IT and ITB were 3-1 for the week, while Beatpaths was 2-2. The NY Jets weren’t quite able to loop away San Diego, so it is still seen as an upset. And Minnesota wasn’t quite able to develop a beatwin [...]
Hello folks, sorry I’m late and posting in the middle of the divisional round, but here is the analysis of the rankings after the Wildcard round. One big mover as a result of the Wildcard games, and that is Denver—a good illustration of how seemingly unrelated games can affect the system’s overall assessment of a [...]
Welcome to the best weekend of the NFL Season! Pretty straightforward week of picks, overall. The Vegas line has the home teams winning, so does Isaacson-Tarbell. On to the picks. Isaacson-Tarbell was 1-3 last week, while Beatpaths and ITB were 0-4. That’s probably the worst we’ve done on Wildcard Weekend, because up until this year [...]
Hey folks! Kenneth here again. Not so much movement in the graph–a lot of little shuffling, but otherwise mostly stable. But what can you expect with only 4 games? On to the rankings! You can see the graph that I’m always talking about here. Rank Team Notes Last Week EdgePower 1 (Bye) Going to be [...]
Ack! 0-4 on the picks this week, with a crazy slate of games. I’m not sure how people will explain away New England’s performance. And three cheers for an excellent fourth game – that’s what the playoffs should be about. Check out the graph. Most teams moved in accordance with their victories, but Baltimore still [...]
Tom here with the end of the regular season charts. The changes to the rankings in Week 17 were no less dramatic than any other week this season since Week 4. We had two big movers this past week, Houston and Jacksonville. These are both teams that have been difficult to place all year long, [...]
