NFL Stableford League Midseason Power Rankings presented by Lexus
It has been a couple weeks since the last power rankings were released so I lumped the last two weeks together and am calling these the midseason rankings. The Raiders are still in the #1 spot, but there has been a lot of movement in the top ten. With some big games between top teams this week, the rankings could fluctuate even more in the upcoming weeks. Now, on to the rankings!
1. Las Vegas Raiders UrgeToFly (8-0); Previous Rank: 1 (NC). Next: vs. Denver; The undefeated Raiders keep rolling after two dominant wins on the road at Cleveland and division rival Los Angeles. A huge AFC West matchup with Denver awaits.
2. New York Giants TAGROCKET (8-1); Previous Rank: 9 (▲7). Next: vs. Philadelphia; A big jump in the rankings for Big Blue after wins at home vs. Tampa Bay and a big road win at division rival Washington. The NFC East leaders host Philadelphia next.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars weirsy2003 (7-1) Previous Rank: 6 (▲3). Next: at Green Bay; The AFC South leading Jaguars recovered from their bye week hangover just in time to beat the Texans at home. A tough road test at Green Bay is next on the schedule.
4. Denver Broncos rob4590 (7-1); Previous Rank: 8 (▲4). Next: at Las Vegas; The Broncos have been impressive in close games all season long and the past two weeks were no exception. They now find themselves with an opportunity to claim the top spot in the AFC West with a win at Las Vegas.
