PossessionPoints Week 10 NFL Performance Rankings

The top five Performance Rankings for Week 10 according to PossessionPoints.com are the Patriots, Steelers, Colts, Giants and Cowboys. The Packers come in at number six moving up significantly from the number 11 spot last week. In week 10, Green Bay’s performance lived up to their 8-1 record. Performance Rankings are based on in-game statistics that measure a team's offensive performance. These statistics take into account such elements as the scoring drive, the points scored and time of possession.

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.
PossessionPoints Performance Rankings

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 Titans fell down to number seven after their poor performance against the Jaguars. The Giants still managed to maintain a top-five spot in spite of their tough loss to the Cowboys.

Another team to view is the San Francisco 49ers who have sunk all the way down to the 31 slot after starting this season off with two wins. PossessionPoints did note at that time that San Francisco was the weakest of all the 2-0 teams, and they ranked 18th in spite of their unbeaten record. This is just further evidence that we measure performance that is essential to winning football games.

Last week’s games shook up some of our projected standings. For instance, with their win over the 49ers and their improved Relative Performance Measure (RPM), the Seahawks have gone from a projected 7-9 record to a projected 10-6 record. The Jaguars are another team who also improved their projected performance with their win over the Titans. Jacksonville moved up from a projected 7-9 record to a projected 11-5 record, and their rank jumped from 14th to 9th on our chart. Their RPM also climbed 12 points which is an impressive number for this time of year when already nine games have been played.

So Packers and Cowboys look to have the best record in the NFC. Who is going to be in the Super Bowl? Cowboys - Patriots?

Well, right now based on what we see in PossessionPoints, that is the probability, and then we see the Patriots winning. Of course, the fun or cursed thing about the NFL is that the "better" team doesn't always win. That's why we all watch every Sunday and laugh and cry with our teams! Thank you for commenting.
