NFL Performance Rankings for Week 7

This week, we welcome back the Giants to the top of our Performance Rankings, but this time around the Giants are not that far ahead of everyone else in the pack. The reason they are not the standout team as before is their run-in with Cleveland’s buzz saw two weeks ago. Because of that one-sided win, the Browns are still hanging around in the number 10 slot instead of wallowing in the bottom half of the rankings as you might expect with a 2-4 record.

The 4-2 Cardinals fell to the number 2 spot despite having a bye and the same RPM as last week. They fell due to the better performance of the Giants. The lone undefeated team, the Titans, are in the number 3 spot this week and for the first time, their RPM has moved above 40 which now puts them in the Green territory of the RPM of PossessionPoints.com

Rounding out the top five are two, three-win teams: Vikings and the Eagles. Some of the biggest moves this week were made by the Steelers who moved up from 11 to 7 courtesy of their 5-1 record. The Panthers jumped from 13 to 8 with a 5-2 record, and the Texans who have turned around the 0-4 start to a 2-4 record have catapulted from 23rd to 13th.

On the other side, the 3-4 Saints tumbled from number 3rd to number 12th because they cannot seem to score a touchdown. The 4-3 Bears also fell sharply from 7th to 17th. In the middle of the pack, there is the potential for a lot of movement as only 20 RPM points separate the number 9 team from the number 20 team.

The Detroit Lions lead our bottom five teams with a -68 RPM. The Chiefs are right above them with a -64 RPM while the Rams sit at number 30 with a -58. The 0-7 Bengals are at 29 with a -50 RPM ,and last but not least sitting at number 28 are the Seahawks with a -48 RPM.

Remember, as you look over these numbers, that there is no subjectivity, emotion or opinion contained in them. Our Performance Rankings are based solely on our in-game PossessionPoints statistic which is remarkably accurate in projecting winning teams. For more information, go to PossessionPoints.com.
