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.
In this week’s rankings, the Giants and Titans flipped places. The Giants who play the Cowboys this week are just about one-tenth of a point ahead of the Cowboys in the PossessionPoints performance rankings. You may want to see our blog below for Big Games of Week 10.
Despite their stellar 7-1 record and positive relative performance measure, the Green Bay Packers still haven’t climbed into our top 10 of Performance Rankings. They come in 11th behind the Texans. Why? The Packers need to improve their offense and net performance to move up the PossessionPoints chart. Beware Packers fans, this data is signaling that the Packers’ performance is not as dominant as their record may indicate. However, don’t despair because the Packers’ schedule from here on out is not a difficult one. PossessionPoints still projects that the Packers will finish with a 12-4 record and become division champs with the third best record in the NFC.
As for the rest of the league, we do not see any losses for the Colts or the Patriots for the remainder of the season. Surprise! Surprise! We do see one more loss for the Steelers and Titans, and this solidifies these four teams as the elite of the AFC. It is interesting to note that these four teams are the last ones in the NFL to have a green RPM of over 40 according to the PossessionPoints stat.
We remind you that so far in 2007, when a team has had a green RPM in a game (PossessionPoints net effect), it has won 95 % of the time. To learn about the PossessionPoints net effect and the PossessionPoints offense and defense stat, go to PossessionPoints.com.

The Steelers over the Colts? They have to prove it to me more before I'd rate them over the Colts. And the Packers down at 11???
Hey, sometimes we look at what our computer says, and we say, "What?" However, our rankings are based on our in-game stat that is 95% accurate at determining winners. We never put subjective criteria or emotion into our rankings or our matchups for our members. To see what we see, go to PossessionPoints.com and learn about the stat. It is revolutionary, but is also a true picture of every team's performance. Feel free to ask us any questions there or on the blog. We welcome all feedback. Thanks for commenting.
Ok, after this weekend I guess I can see the Steelers over the Colts. The Steelers had a scare but won, the Colts, well they found so many ways to beat themselves it wasn't funny.
But the Packers should be moving up your rankings with their shut out of the Vikings right?
Oh, the Packers have moved up! We will post those rankings tomorrow. This is the first week where they earned enough PossessionPoints to give them a good jolt upward. They worked great offensively with drives - not just quick Favre strikes. That Colts game was unbelievable. But that game was a reflection of the whole week. It was a weird week. A lot of the better teams did not win! But without that kind of drama, the NFL would be boring. How about the Giants' game, and does Baltimore still have offensive players? Where are they? Not in Raven uniforms. Thank you for the feedback. We appreciate it.
