HawkerHurricane’s NFL Power Ratings!

[HawkerHurricane]

It’s time once more for HawkerHurricane’s NFL Power Ratings!

The system is this:
1 point for each win. 1 additional point for every win the team you beat has. Ties are broken by record, then my opinion. And yes, I am biased against certain teams, why do you ask?

All commentaries are to be considered intentional flame bait in a effort to get responses.

Now, it’s early in the season. Injuries will take their toll, and teams are still feeling their way. Bye weeks will distort things. The team at #1 now almost certainly won’t be #1 at the end of the season… BUT I would like to point out that last year I correctly predicted the Super Bowl Winner before the end of the season! (Too bad that I was wrong about their opponent… I still say both the St. Louis Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles were better teams, the Carolina Panthers just wanted it more)

I just wish that I still had last years ratings, but alas, between my discharge and a computer crash I lost them all.

So, from top to bottom…
