Here are the latest power rankings according to LVSB Sports:
1. Miami Dolphins (3-0) – After scoring 70 points in a game, the Dolphins deserve the top spot in the power rankings.
2. San Francisco 49ers (3-0) – The 49ers have been dominant, winning their games by an average of 16 points. Their rush defense will be tested against the Arizona Cardinals.
3. Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) – The Eagles shouldn’t be overrated based on their Monday Night Football performance. Their success against Washington has been inconsistent in recent meetings.
4. Dallas Cowboys (2-1) – The Cowboys shouldn’t be heavily criticized for their loss to the Arizona Cardinals, as the Cardinals have historically been a tough opponent for Dallas. They are a strong bounce back candidate this week.
5. Kansas City Chiefs (2-1) – The Chiefs have struggled against certain trends in their recent games. They will need to improve in order to overcome their upcoming challenges.
6. Buffalo Bills (2-1) – While Miami’s offensive explosion last week is getting a lot of attention, the Bills have historically dominated their matchups against the Dolphins.
7. Baltimore Ravens (2-1) – Baltimore’s offense will face a major test this week, as they try to improve on their third down conversion rate and reduce turnovers.
8. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) – The Steelers are undervalued and have a strong track record as a short favorite. They should be a team to watch in their upcoming game against the Houston Texans.
9. Cleveland Browns (2-1) – The Browns have the best defense in the league and have been incredibly stingy, allowing just 163.7 yards and one touchdown in three games.
10. Seattle Seahawks (2-1) – Kenneth Walker has been a standout player for the Seahawks, and their offense has been productive in recent games. They should perform well against a weak Giants defense.
11. New Orleans Saints (2-1) – The Saints shouldn’t be solid favorites this week, as their quarterback situation is uncertain. Jameis Winston’s inconsistency raises concerns.
12. Detroit Lions (2-1) – The Lions’ innovative offense has been impressive, but they need to adjust their usage of Jahmyr Gibbs to keep him healthy.
13. Atlanta Falcons (2-1) – The Falcons’ focus on running the ball may prove challenging, as defenses will likely stack the box to stop their rushing attack. Desmond Ridder will need to step up.
14. New England Patriots (1-2) – The Patriots have shown improvement in red zone efficiency, converting a higher percentage of their trips into touchdowns. Bill O’Brien has made a positive impact on their offense.
Stay tuned for more exciting NFL action in Week 4!
