2016 NFL Power Rankings Week 8

1. Seattle Seahawks

Back on top after dominating the Saints. Had some bad luck that cost them the win, but with clear first in the division, as well as clear first in just being better than everybody else (they lead by the biggest margin of the season), this is the Superbowl favorite.

2. Arizona Cardinals

They slip a bit, but it really wasn't as bad as the score showed at certain points in that game.

3. New England Patriots

Inching up... On a Tuesday. Best in the AFC despite playing half their games without Brady. I'd put some money on them representing the lesser conference in the Superbowl if it weren't for everybody else also putting money on them.

4. Atlanta Falcons

Still great on offense, but you just gave up a lot of TDs to a pretty bad quarterback.

5. Denver Broncos

See Falcons, Atlanta, and switch O and D. 

6. Dallas Cowboys

They're pretty good.

7. Carolina Panthers

See Boys, Dallas Cow

8. Cincinnati Bengals
9. Washington Redskins

High scoring ties aren't supposed to hannen. But both these teams do have very similar profiles (5th and 23rd vs 3rd and 27th on O and D).

10. Kansas City Chiefs

It would be more impressive if the Colts didn't suck.

11. New York Giants

12. Buffalo Bills

It wasn't that bad. The Pats are pretty good. As in, most years the media thinks the Pats are really good, but this is the first year they've been right in a long time. Though they're still a tier off. And if you're wondering why I'm talking about the Patriots here, I have one question for you: Would you rather I talk about the fucking Bills?

13. Tennessee Titans

They deserve some credit. Dominating like they did is hard, even if you're playing the Jags.

14. Philadelphia Eagles

We're starting to be able to sort out the Eagles finally. They're a slightly above average team being carried by a surprisingly good, though not elite, defense.

15. Miami Dolphins

16. Chicago Bears
17. Minnesota Vikings

What more can I say. The Vikings can't play offense, and the Bears aren't that bad. Go Bears.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers
19. Green Bay Packers

Yuck.

20. San Diego Chargers

21. New York Jets

22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

23. Jacksonville Jaguars

24. Baltimore Ravens

25. New Orleans Saints

26. Oakland Raiders

27. Houston Texans

28. Los Angeles Rams

29. Detroit Lions

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm leaving a gap here because there's a big gap here.

30. Cleveland Browns

31. Indianapolis Colts

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, that's how bad the 49ers are.

32. San Francisco 49ers
