For the second week in a row the over was the best play as eight games went over the total, five stayed under, and there was one push Washington @ Carolina at 37. For the most part the games stayed close to the total line either way as after five weeks the odds makers have fine tuned the numbers.
Each week during the heart of the NFL season, and once or twice during the NFL Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NFL Power rankings. We check out the stats, looks at the records, and, most importantly, we take a close, close look at the heart of each team. We encourage you to come back each week and see how the NFL Power Rankings have changed.
This is our waiver wire pick-ups column. Dave B scours the free agent pools in fantasy land for the best available talent every week. Availability, of course, depends on the league. We’re using 12 team, 15 roster spot leagues as the median, but we’ll look for roster candidates for leagues of all shapes and sizes.
After all of the weekly games are finished be sure to check our cheatsheets, a who’s hot, and who’s not report plus more in our fantasy football guide.
Polls are taken from all the major polls done by everyone and their dog and put together all on one page for easy viewing.
The rankings are based on a performance and they are not ranked by who will have the best projected statistics for the week.
