In the included chart, you will see each team, their win-loss record and the PossessionPoints measure of relative performance which is colored green, yellow or red. A green chart indicates a positive and strong team performance. A yellow chart indicates a mediocre to fair performance and a red chart tells the tale of trouble ahead.
These Performance Ratings are unique because they are based on in-game stats that are present in each game every week. Not present in these performance ratings are any opinion and or subjective measure of any type.
This week, The New York Giants have pulled into fourth place ahead of the Titans and behind the Colts. Their trip to London had little effect on their winning streak. This is the Giants’ sixth straight win which at this time puts them at the top as far as Relative Performance Measure (RPM) in the NFC.
Another team to watch is the New Orleans Saints who continue to improve. After languishing in the bottom five of the Performance Rankings for the first four games, they have managed to move up to the 18th spot – five spots better than last week. Their RPM improved from a -25 last week to a -10 this week. They could make a similar improvement this week with another win. Another win would make the Saints 4-4, and could vault their RPM from -10 to a +5. Believe it or not, a move like that could revive playoff talks in New Orleans. We are not ready to go there yet with the Saints. Our current projections based on their RPM and remaining schedule forecast New Orleans to have a record of 8-8 and just miss the playoffs.
