Welcome to the NerdBall NFL Power Rankings. We love data here, and produce many statistics to help you identify those edges needed to help you win your fantasy leagues and DFS bets. One of the key stats we bring to you are out team NEFF rating. This is a statistical analysis of team performance that allows us to rank the 32 NFL teams to show you who’s statistically good, and not so good.
In these weekly power rankings, I take each team’s NEFF rankings and add layer of my own tape review to give an alternative view of how the teams in the NFL should be ranked.
With the Bills slipping to consecutive defeats, the Chiefs take over the number two position, plus the Packers’ offense drops 30 on the Cowboys’ elite defense to give hope to their wayward season.
Without further ado, let’s get into my NFL power rankings heading into Week 10.
| Rank | Team | +/- | NEFF Rank | ONEFF Rank | DNEFF Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) | 0 | 2 | 2 | 1 | Some bad luck in their first loss but remain the top team this week |
| 2 | Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) | 1 | 4 | 1 | 21 | Dominant performance against the Jags and the AFC's number one seed move up a spot this week |
| 3 | Buffalo Bills (6-3) | -1 | 1 | 4 | 3 | Wild game against the Vikings and one they should have won but three losses drop them below the Chiefs |
| 4 | Minnesota Vikings (8-1) | 1 | 18 | 11 | 20 | Somehow they just keep winning and therefore keep moving up. Massive game against Dallas this week |
| 5 | Dallas Cowboys (6-3) | -1 | 3 | 9 | 4 | That top defense looked pretty average against the wounded Packers this week and now a huge game @ the Vikings this week |
| 6 | San Francisco 49ers (5-4) | 1 | 4 | 9 | 6 | Just a game back from the Seahawks now and looking dangerous in the NFC |
| 7 | Miami Dolphins (7-3) | 1 | 12 | 3 | 29 | The offense is turning into a juggernaut and now a bye week to rest before the final stretch |
| 8 | Baltimore Ravens (6-3) | -2 | 9 | 8 | 12 | Bye week to get healthy but the Ravens drop a couple with teams below producing convincing wins |
| 9 | Cincinnati Bengals (5-4) | 0 | 6 | 5 | 11 | Bengals stay in 9th after their bye week |
| 10 | Tennessee Titans (6-3) | 1 | 13 | 27 | 10 | Ground out a win without relying on Derrick Henry. Titans into the top-10 |
| 11 | Seattle Seahawks (6-4) | -1 | 21 | 21 | 27 | Got behind the Bucs early and struggled to come back drops the Seahawks a spot |
| 12 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-5) | 1 | 8 | 17 | 7 | That was more like the Bucs we know anf great to see Chris Godwin get in the end zone after his injury issues |
| 13 | New York Giants (7-2) | 1 | 20 | 22 | 14 | Disptached the Texans with relative ease and now in second place in the NFC East |
| 14 | Los Angeles Chargers (5-4) | -2 | 16 | 14 | 23 | Those injury issues are impacting results and they need some help on offense asap |
| 15 | New York Jets (6-3) | 0 | 11 | 25 | 9 | No change after the bye week |
| 16 | New England Patriots (5-4) | 0 | 7 | 19 | 5 | Patriots hold after their bye |
| 17 | Arizona Cardinals (4-6) | 4 | 22 | 13 | 25 | Dominated a poor Rams team to stay in touch in the NFC West |
| 18 | Cleveland Browns (3-6) | -1 | 15 | 6 | 26 | Blown away by the Dolphins showing that their defense continues to be a major liability |
| 19 | Atlanta Falcons (4-6) | -1 | 31 | 18 | 30 | The Panthers got their revenge on TNF but the Falcons remain competitive in the NFC South |
| 20 | Green Bay Packers (4-6) | 3 | 19 | 15 | 16 | Finally some life in the Packers offense against a top defense. Is this the start of something? |
| 21 | Los Angeles Rams (3-6) | -2 | 26 | 31 | 15 | Rams look like a ghost of their 2021 team and now no Cooper Kupp for a while. Bleak outlook in LA |
| 22 | Washington Commanders (5-5) | 2 | 10 | 24 | 13 | Rode their luck to beat the Eagles to stay in touch in the NFC East |
| 23 | New Orleans Saints (3-7) | -3 | 14 | 16 | 18 | Arrows down for the Saints again. Time for Jameis to step back in and bring some life to the offense? |
| 24 | Denver Broncos (3-6) | -2 | 23 | 29 | 2 | There's no bigger disparity in the NFL between offense and defense than the Broncos. A frustrating team |
| 25 | Detroit Lions (3-6) | 1 | 25 | 7 | 31 | Lions getting frisky again after back to back wins |
| 26 | Indianapolis Colts (4-5-1) | 1 | 27 | 32 | 8 | Wait, what happened here? I love the chaos surrounding the Colts and long may it continue |
| 27 | Jacksonville Jaguars (3-7) | -2 | 17 | 12 | 19 | The Chiefs always looked like being too much for the Jaguars to handle and the Jags drop again |
| 28 | Pittsburgh Steelers (3-6) | 1 | 32 | 26 | 24 | Some life from the Steelers in their best all-round performance of 2022 |
| 29 | Chicago Bears (3-7) | 1 | 24 | 23 | 28 | The one man show in Justin Fields is a fun one but it will not bring sustained success without help from the defense |
| 30 | Carolina Panthers (3-7) | 1 | 29 | 28 | 22 | Got revenge on the Falcons on TNF and now back to Baker Mayfield in Week 11 @ at the Ravens |
| 31 | Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) | -3 | 30 | 19 | 32 | The Raiders are not good and the loss to the Colts is their worst of 2022 |
| 32 | Houston Texans (1-7-1) | 0 | 28 | 30 | 17 | Not much to say here. The Texans reamin the worst team in the NFL, though the Raiders are running them close right now |
