Devereaux’s NFL Week 6 Power Rankings

Advertisement

A quarter of the year is already over for the NFL. Some teams have already thrown in the towel by proclaiming that they are rebuilding, while other teams are struggling and will not show any signs of starting a rebuild.

There are only two undefeated teams left in the NFL, one of those teams had an easy road, but is also showing dominance on both sides of the ball. While the other team had a tougher road and but has played in more uglier games thus far. Each of these teams are ranked further from one another than what most people would have on their rankings.

This is because they are young and personally I do not believe in them as much as I do as teams with two losses. After this past week, most teams schedules are going to start getting harder. Meaning that your favorite team will start to show their true colors, such as the Dallas Cowboys are showcasing the past two weeks.

As of the end of the Week five here are my quick predictions to who will make the playoffs this year based off what I have seen thus far. These predictions will change throughout the year as anything could happen to a team that either raises their outlook to making the playoffs or collapses their chances.

AFC: 

1. The New England Patriots (AFC East winner)
2. Kansas City Chiefs (AFC West winner)
3. Baltimore Ravens (AFC North winner)
4. Houston Texans (AFC South winner)
5. Indianapolis Colts (AFC Wildcard winner)
6. Buffalo Bills (AFC Wildcard winner)

NFC:

1. New Orleans Saints (NFC South winner)
2. Green Bay Packers (NFC North winner)
3. San Francisco 49ers (NFC West winner)
4. Dallas Cowboys (NFC East winner)
5. Chicago Bears (NFC Wildcard winner)
6. Seattle Seahawks (NFC Wildcard winner)

With having the quarterly playoff predictions out, here are the Week 6 power rankings:

1. The New England Patriots (5-0) (Last Week: 1): A very historic defense.  
2. Kansas City Chiefs (4-1) (Last Week: 2): Chiefs are beatable. 
3. Green Bay Packers (4-1) (Last Week: 6): Aaron Rodgers is not the main guy anymore.
