    1. Buffalo Bills (12-3): The Bills game against the Bengals was canceled after the collapse of safety Damar Hamlin after what appeared to be a routine tackle.

    1. Philadelphia Eagles (13-1): Quarterback Jalen Hurts has a right shoulder sprain and may miss the next game, which is Saturday against the Cowboy's in Jerry's House. Former Washington State quarterback Gardner Minshew is the backup quarterback, and he may get the start. That would be interesting if the Eagles could beat the Cowboys with Minshew at quarterback. Next: +5.5 at Dallas Cowboys – Sat, Dec. 24 – O/U: 46 (ATS: 8-6 – O/U: 9-5) 2. Buffalo Bills (11-3): The Bills won a close match...

    1. Kansas City Chiefs (8-2): Quarterback Patrick Mahomes just keeps on rolling each week. This week Mahomes completed 20 of 34 passes for 329 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 23 yards.

  • 2022 NFL Power Rankings – Week 08

    Bill Seals - Fred Altieri, Sports Reporters - PFWA Members|Nov 3, 2022

    1. Philadelphia Eagles (6-0): The rich get richer. The Eagle acquired pass rusher Robert Quinn from the Chicago Bears for a fourth-round draft pick in 2023. Quinn, 32, is a three-time Pro Bowler.

    1. Philadelphia Eagles (5-0): The Eagles remained undefeated after hanging on for a 20-17 win over the Cardinals.

    1. Los Angeles Rams (0-0): The Rams added eight-time All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner to their defense in the offseason and wide receiver Allen Robinson, a legitimate No. 1-type receiver to their offense. The Rams will be tough to beat. Next: +2.5 vs Buffalo Bills - Thu, Sep. 8 – O/U 52.5 (ATS: 0-0 – O/U: 0-0) 2. Buffalo Bills (0-0): The Bills added linebacker Von Miller from the Rams to make a good defense even better. They had the No. 1 ranked defense in the NFL in 2021. They also have quarterb...

    Bill Seals - Fred Altieri, Sports Reporters - PFWA Member|Jan 6, 2022

    1. Green Bay Packers (13-3): The Packers clinched the homefield advantage with their blowout win over the Vikings.

    Bill Seals - Fred Altieri, Sports Reporters - PFWA Members|Dec 30, 2021

    1. Green Bay Packers (12-3): The Packers, with a home game against the Vikings and a road game against the Lions, do not have much standing in the way of their clinching homefield throughout the playoffs.

    1. Green Bay Packers (11-3): The Packers have the best record in the NFL and are the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
