Week 04 - This Could Be Awesome

I love some of the opportunities this week, I'm expecting a week rife with upsets and sweet moneyline love. There are a few OFF games, and Sportsbook has no lines for the PIT game (Willie Parker's out) and the PHI game (Westbrook/McNabb are questionable or out).

So for today, I'm going to give you power ranks. The power ranks are designed to include ONLY NON BYE WEEK TEAMS. It gives you the ranks of teams available for betting only, so no OFF teams either. What with them being the gambling power ranks, that makes sense. Tomorrow hopefully will settle some of the OFF ridiculosity (yeah, new word - I'm a linguist).

Power Ranks		▲▼
1	TEN	▲9
2	DAL	▲2
3	BUF	▲8
4	DEN	▲1
5	ATL	▲16
6	GB	▼3
7	SD	▼1
8	TB	▼6
9	MIN	▼8
10	ARI	▼2
11	SF	▲9
12	OAK	▲6
13	WAS	▲6
14	NO	▼5
15	CAR	▼8
16	NYJ	▼4
17	JAC
18	CLE	▼4
19	CIN	▼4
20	HOU	▼7
21	KC	▼5
22	STL

And the volatility/game value ranks are here:

Rank	GV	Vol
1	ARI	MIN
2	ATL	CLE
3	CAR	DEN
4	DEN	NO
5	GB	TB
6	SD	NYJ
7	SF	DAL
8	TB	TEN
9	WAS	KC
10	BUF	ARI
11	DAL	OAK
12	TEN	CAR
13	HOU	SD
14	JAC	HOU
15	MIN	BUF
16	NO	GB
17	NYJ	SF
18	OAK	ATL
19	CIN	CIN
20	CLE	JAC
21	KC	WAS
22	STL	STL

Surprise surprise, STL is the bottom of every rank. More importantly, look at BUF's volatility. BUF makes me nervous - everyone is very high on them, the box included, but they have yet to truly prove themselves.

More to come tomorrow...
