NFL Power Rankings Week 17
by Robert Ferringo - 12/26/2018
Well, this is it. Another NFL regular season is about to settle into the books. This week is the dreaded Week 17 of the NFL season. For some teams, like the Titans and Colts, the playoffs start on Sunday. For others, this week is the last hurdle between their players and an offseason of recreation and recovery. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 16
by Robert Ferringo - 12/18/2018
How do you gauge the most valuable player in a given sport? For some, the MVP should simply be the best player. Period. If that is the case, then Patrick Mahomes should easily win the MVP this season. He is set to throw for more than 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns passes - both by far the top numbers in the league - while leading the Chiefs to a potential No. 1 seed in the AFC. Mahomes has done all this while making any number of jaw-dropping throws, and the kid clearly looks like the Next Big Thing in NFL quarterbacking. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 15
by Robert Ferringo - 12/11/2018
I love futures betting. But I am not at all a fan of betting on teams to win the Super Bowl. It is really such an arbitrary thing, when you think about it, and the odds for teams to hoist the Lombardi Trophy never come close to reflecting how difficult the task really is. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 14
by Robert Ferringo - 12/4/2018
Some weeks things just aren't going to go the way they were supposed to. And last week was that week for me. The Saints laid their first egg in three months. Three college football teams blew double-digit leads. The Bears threw up on themselves against the hapless Giants. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 13
by Robert Ferringo - 11/29/2018
Right now one of the most misleading statistics in the NFL is wins and losses. Since we can delineate the good teams from the bad having an understanding of strength of schedule and its impact on the relativity of teams and their records and rankings. Generally, you don't hear about NFL strength of schedule with the random exception of a couple random times throughout the offseason (like when next year's schedules are released). Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 12
by Robert Ferringo - 11/20/2018
It is Thanksgiving week, so I am doing an abridged version of my NFL Power Rankings. But I do want to take this opportunity to point out again that I will be releasing my football selections on Wednesday this week to accommodate the holiday. That goes for all of Doc's football handicappers, and we want to get our action in early so we can sit back and enjoy an orgy of alcohol, eating and gambling this weekend that would make the Romans blush.

NFL Power Rankings Week 11
by Robert Ferringo - 11/13/2018
The Saints are pretty clearly the best team in football. I still think that there is a razor thin margin between the top five teams. There is, however, a massive gap between the top eight or nine teams, which are legitimate title contenders, and the second tier in the league. Those teams in the middle of the pack are the ones that are causing bettors the most anxiety each week. And the most difficult Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 10
by Robert Ferringo - 11/6/2018
Don't forget to check the weather. We've been treated to the highest scoring first nine weeks of football in NFL history. Yet as we move into November, the weather is going to start getting colder and harsher. The cold has a way of slowing everything down, making everything just a little bit harder. The wind will start to become a factor as well. And we're only a few weeks away from our first snow bowl. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 9
by Robert Ferringo - 10/30/2018
The NFL trade deadline is this week. And rumors have been swirling about some significant deals, potentially involving Pro Bowl players. However, if you're looking for a league-wide shakeup, like we see annually at the MLB and NBA trade deadlines, I wouldn't hold your breath. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 8
by Robert Ferringo - 10/23/2018
If you watched the Monday Night Football game between Atlanta and the New York Giants, you were treated to a moment, late in that game, where the Old School met the New School. And the results, as often is the case when previous firmly-held beliefs are challenged, were both uncomfortable and hilarious. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 7
by Robert Ferringo - 10/16/2018
The NFL wanted more scoring and more offense. It got more scoring and more offense. The 4,489 points scored through Week 6 are the most in NFL history to this point in the season. Teams have combined to score 504 total touchdowns, with an average of 48.1 points per game. There have already been an incredible 328 touchdown passes, an average of 55 per week. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 6
by Robert Ferringo - 10/9/2018
The four rookie starting quarterbacks combined to go 4-0 straight up and against the spread last week. It was the first time in NFL history that four rookie signal callers won on the same day. In the meantime, five of the most successful and consequential quarterbacks of the past 15 years - Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Flacco, Aaron Rodgers and Alex Smith - all threw up on themselves, combing to go 1-4 straight up and 2-3 against the spread.

NFL Power Rankings Week 5
by Robert Ferringo - 10/2/2018
The NFL absolutely has to do something about its overtime rules. Because right now the whole setup is ridiculous. And the constant specter of ties is taking some of the fun out of what should be exciting late-game scenarios. Three more games went to overtime this week, and several others (Seattle-Arizona, Kansas City-Denver, Cincinnati-Atlanta) were on the verge. Fortunately, there were no ties this week. But the only reason that was the case was a comically-bad decision by Frank Reich in the Houston-Indianapolis game. Had that game ended as it should have it would've marked three ties in four weeks.

NFL Power Rankings Week 4
by Robert Ferringo - 9/25/2018
September has flown by, and after this week the first quarter of the NFL season will be in the books. Some teams are flying high, either meeting their lofty preseason expectations (Rams) or blowing their projections out of the water (Dolphins) altogether. But just like you would be foolish to call a game after the first quarter, you would be foolish to think that there aren't dozens of twists and turns, ups and downs, and wins and losses remaining in this season. Stay frosty. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 3
by Robert Ferringo - 9/18/2018
Overreaction Week lived up to its name, as the underdogs - spurred by massive line overreactions to Week 1 results - cleaned up. Teams taking the points went 11-5 against the spread last week with seven outright winners. And those seven wins don't include Cleveland's near-miss in New Orleans or the tie that Green Bay took at home against Minnesota. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 2
by Robert Ferringo - 9/11/2018
There is a comically large build up and anticipation for the opening week of the NFL season. Inevitably the results of the Week 1 games lead to an irrational overreaction by fans and gamblers alike on the Monday and Tuesday following the openers. The sportsbooks know this. In fact, they count on it. And they generally use that rush to judgment against desperate bettors in Week 2. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 1
by Robert Ferringo - 9/4/2018
Does the preseason matter? The general consensus is that it does not. And there is plenty of evidence, both anecdotal and statistical, that suggests that NFL Preseason performance is not an indicator for how things will go in the regular season. After all, the Cleveland Browns went 4-0 last season, right? Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Preseason Edition
by Robert Ferringo - 8/16/2018
Hope is for the tourists and coke fiends. I don't deal in Hope. I deal in information. Information always has been and always will be hard currency in the gambling game. In this Dark Era of Fake News, that currency can be hard to find, and people can find themselves vacillating between an information overload and information void. No one knows what is going on. No one knows what the Rules are anymore. And no one knows what dangers are lurking around the corner of the next snap. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 17
by Robert Ferringo - 12/26/2017
God, I hate Week 17 of the NFL season. Momentum and motivation are the two buzzwords this week. But the problem is that it is nearly impossible to gauge how these men are going to respond to wildly divergent motivations this weekend. Some teams are playing for the postseason while others are playing out the string. Read More >>
NFL Power Rankings Week 16
by Robert Ferringo - 12/19/2017
The favorites pummeled the sportsbooks again last week, going 10-4 against the spread. (The Patriots-Steelers and Cowboys-Raiders games were both a 'push' at most books). That now means that blindly betting the NFL favorites has turned a profit in six of the last seven weeks, and over the course of the last six weeks the chalk has posted a gaudy 57-33 ATS mark (63.3 percent).
