Power rankings NFL mid way through the season 

32. Browns: this team might not win a game and it sure as hell will get their coach fired. Hue Jackson is as good as gone and deshone kiser looks farther from the answer at QB. 

31. 49ers: just 49ers have been in mostly every game, but do not have the talent to close out in the fourth quarter. They will have a ton of money to revamp this team and nice capital in the draft. 

30. Giants: everyone knows how I feel about them. Bad coach, bad QB, bad o-line, bad organization right now. 

29. Colts: Brissett has shown some flashes, but this roster has so many flaws. 

28. Cardinals: have had ups and downs this year but the season is over now that palmer broke his arm.

27. Bears: they have a very old school formula of winning. Run the ball and play defense. And pass the ball for 4 completions. They are 3-4 though.

26. Bengals: they are better then their record, but something is missing with this football team, especially the offensive line. 

25. Ravens: the offense is completely incompetent and joe flacco is having one of the worst years of his career

24. Packers: trade every packers wide receiver in fantasy. Their value is worthless without Rodgers. Especially nelson. 

23. Buccaneers: This team has not taken the step everyone thought they would, especially Jameis Winston. 

22. Jets: they are not talented, but I love the confidence the defense plays with. They are well coached and confident. 

21. Broncos: What happened in the last 2 weeks? Back to back embarrasing losses. 

20. Titans: another team that hasn’t progressed like everyone hoped. Lots of holes on this football team. 

19. Chargers: team is really talented. Need to learn how to finish ball games. 

18. Dolphins: I’m more confident when matt Moore is the QB for this team. Dolphins are a good team though. 

17. Bills: the bills are really good at home. Every year. 

16. Redskins: the offense is really good despite the fact they don’t throw the the receivers. The defense needs to get healthy. 

15. Texans: DESHAUN WATSON

14. Raiders: I have a feeling Derek Carr and the raiders have something ip their sleeves. 

13. Falcons: this team and matt Ryan will never recover from the super bowl. 

12. Jaguars: this defense is so good that it might carry them to the playoffs. They are the first team since the 84′ bears to have 2 10+ sack games. 

11. Lions: they need to bounce back after an embarrasing performance in NO. 

10.  Cowboys: this team has underperformed but has super bowl potential. Trust me 

9. Vikings: The Jaguars with a more competent coach and QB 

8. Saints: this team has really picked it up the last couple weeks and looks like a real contender in the NFC south. 

7. Panthers: I believe in cam despite the disappointing performance. 

6.  Rams: Todd Gurley and Jared Goffs resurrection have been mind blowing. This team is elite. 

5. Seahawks: Defense and Russell Wilson. That’s the formula. 

4. Steelers: Ben-Brown-Bell. The three B’s are back. 

3. Patriots: starting to look like the team we expected them to be. Offense is really clicking. 

2. Chiefs: they have lost 2 straight, but they are still really good. Kareem hunt is a monster. 

1. Eagles: fly eagles fly. Carson wentz is legit guys. 

Week 6 NFL picks 

Dolphins vs Falcons: the Dolphins as a team have taken a big step back this year. Jay cutler has not been good and Ayaji has been inconsistent. The Falcons are coming off a bye, they are home, and they are the better team. 

Falcons 28 – dolphins 17     Dolphins +13.5
Packers vs Vikings: the Vikings do not look that good on offense, and it doesn’t help that Stefon diggs is out. Packers are going to win. 

Packers 21 – Vikings 17        Packers -3
Lions vs saints: the saints defense has really stepped up and played better the last couple weeks and we know what the offense can do. 

Saints 26- lions 24       Lions +4.5
Patriots vs jets: the jets have been better then expected but cmon 

Patriots 31 – jets 17         Pats -9.5

Bears vs Ravens: another game where the home team should win easily.

Ravens 24 – bears 17         Ravens -6
Browns vs Texans: blowout

Texans 35 – browns 16       Texans -8

Rams 27- Jaguars 24             Rams +2.5

Chiefs 34- Steelers 27           Chiefs -4
Chargers vs raiders: Derek Carr playing equals Bounce back win for the raiders.

Raiders 27 – chargers 23    Raiders -3.5

Why the Giants are a total joke

Coming into the season, the Giants had sky high expectations. Super bowl expectations. But instead, they are a total joke. They are 0-5 and are the worst team in New York and maybe the NFL. Their franchise player got hurt. Everything is falling apart. I’m gonna tell you how we got here. 

Going into the year, it was easy to see why everyone was excited for the season. The Giants were coming off an 11-5 season, they brought everyone back, and they added Brandon Marshall and Evan engram. The defense was loaded. Eli had a ton of weapons. So what went wrong? I think it comes down to three things. Poor construction of the roster, play calling and design, and execution. Someone once told me whenever you are designing an NFL roster build from the inside out. Get the QB, offensive line, and defensive line first and work your way out. But the Giants completely ignored that. Despite having a good year last year (arguably because they did have a VERY easy schedule) they regressed heavily on the offensive end. It was Odell or bust, and the o-line was miserable. Instead of addressing it, the front office got cocky and ignorant. They believed Ereck flowers could turn it around because they thought he would be good, despite clearly being a bust. They tried to cover up their mistakes by throwing money at shiny new toys. And it just didn’t work. Of course it didn’t work. They can’t run the ball, eli has no time to throw, and the defense is underperforming because they are on the field all the time. The construction of the team is totally flaud and we all should have seen it coming.

This NFL season has really taught me a lot. The more things Change in the NFL, the more things stay the same. The more we try to get away from running the ball and having dominant lines, the more the evidence points to the fact that it is what works. The Giants thought they were the patriots. Who needs to run the ball, why not just pass it every play. But that doesn’t work. Balance is important. Play design and  cleverness is important. Creativity is important. This helps me get to another point. Ben Mcadoo should be fired today. People will point to the fact that he made the playoffs last year and he should be given more time. But the cold, ugly truth is he is a joke. He isn’t ready. And the truth is the Giants made the playoffs despite him, not because of him. He is supposed to be an offensive minded coach but the offense is getting worse and the creativity within the offense is laughable. I can watch the games on my couch and predict what the plays are. Slant to Odell. Draw to Perkins. CREATIVITY MATTERS. McAdoo was given the credit for fixing eli but it was Odell. Let’s see how McAdoo does without the kid with the yellow hair who got him the job in the first place. He should be fired today. He may be a nice guy, but he is not ready to be a head coach. Or even an OC. And if I hear he needs “to look in the mirror” one more time I’m gonna kill someone. The overall point is offense in the NFL is about creativity and the Giants offense has none. Now to the defense. If you told me before the year that the Giants offense was bad I would’ve believed you. But to say that the defense is worse then the offense. I wouldve laughed. The defense was awesome last year and brought back 10 of the starters. So what has happened? Landon Collins, JPP, and Vernon have all regressed to say the least. Their has been no pass rush, and Eli Apple has been completely exposed for what he is. A bust. Another one for star GM Jerry Reece, who tried to buy his defense instead of drafting well. Ughhh. This whole season has been a complete joke and embarrassment. The roster isn’t good, the coaches can’t develop the players, and the players can’t execute. And to top it off, the only player who gives any sort of hope just had a major injury. So where do we go from here? 

To say this year has been a disappointing one would be an understatement. But is there hope? I’m here to say there is. This might be exactly what they need. Eli is on his way out. Maybe this is the year they get the QB of the future. Despite the heartbreak this year has caused, having eli pass the torch to let’s say sam darnold, and not having to wait years for a new QB could be worth a horrible year. Overall, I think the Giants just need a full rebuild. This year has been a huge slap in the face to the organization and the fans. We need a change. 

NFL Week 4 picks

Bills vs Falcons: When the bills traded sammy watkins, everyone assumed they were tanking. But they are 2-1, and that defense looks really good. Im picking the Falcons because they are home, but the bills look dangerous.

Falcons 24 – Bills 17          Bills +8

 

Bengals vs Browns: Both teams suck. The bengals just suck a little less. Dalton looks better under the new OC. Expect a big game from Joe mixon.

Bengals 20 – Browns 16            Bengals -3

 

Rams vs Cowboys: Sean McVay has tranformed Jared Goff, and saved his career. Same for Todd Gurley. This team isn’t great, but they are sure fun to watch. Sue me if you want but I am picking the Rams.

Rams 27 – Cowboys 26         Rams +6

 

Lions vs Vikings: Both these teams look legit. Bradford is out, but it didn’t seem to matter last week. I like the vikings.

Vikings 24- lions 21          Vikings -2.5

 

Panthers vs Patriots: In foxboro and Cam newton is really struggling. Great Offense vs Defense matchup, but the Pats are going to win.

Patriots 30 – Panthers 21            Panthers +9.5

 

Jaguars vs Jets: I know by now not to trust the Jaguars coming off a nice win in London. The jets will win their second straight game. Can’t believe I’m saying this.

Jets 19 – Jaguars 16       Jets +4

 

Steelers vs Ravens: The steelers do not play well on the road. The ravens were embarrassed last week. Ravens all day.

Ravens 26 – Steelers 23           Ravens +3

 

Titans vs Texans: Deshaun Watson is REALLY good.

Texans 31 – Titans 27                  Texans +2.5

 

49ers vs Cardinals: Idk man, I guess the home team?

Cardinals 24 – 49ers 20          49ers +6.5

 

Giants vs Bucs: The first win has to come. PLEASE. I can’t have another heartbreaker.

Giants 30- Bucs 26          Giants+2.5

 

Eagles vs Chargers: The eagles are too good for this Banged up (every year) chargers.

Eagles 26 – Chargers 20           Eagles +2.0

 

Raiders vs Broncos: both teams are coming off of disappointing losses. It’s close, but I think Derek Carr and the Raiders have the guts to go into Mile High and steal one.

Raiders 28 – Broncos 24       Raiders +3.5
