Most NFL power rankings bounce teams all over because they disregard strength of schedule, or over-emphasize the most recent game played; giving too much credit for a single blowout of a low ranked team, and not enough credit for a close loss to a high ranked team.

At FootballLOCKS.com we call that {{{unstable power ranking syndrome}}}...

NFL power ratings at FootballLOCKS.com pay close attention to strength of opponents played without over-crediting the last game played (that's too fresh on the mind of many writers); all in a quest to deliver you with a weekly NFL power ranking that reflects the power of each team, and not just their record. For a team to crack the top 10 in FootballLOCKS.com's NFL football rankings, they have to earn it with more than a single crushing of a bottom ranked squad.

NFL Power Rankings Methodology:
FootballLOCKS.com’s weekly NFL power rankings aren't a listing of teams in order of their current standings like some news and information sources covering pro football publish from week to week… FootballLOCKS.com’s pro football power rankings emphasize and adjust for the strength of schedule played to determine the weekly ranks.

The Art of Power Ranking NFL Teams Beyond The Standings:
One team can lose a close game or two versus a top team or two without falling 12 spots in the power rankings like you might find while reading an NFL power poll from another NFL power ratings publisher.

Likewise, one NFL team can crush a couple of bottom feeders without instantly soaring 12 spots to crack the top 5 in the power ratings when they haven't won a game versus another top 10 team in a year and a half, let alone another team in the top 5.

These are level headed NFL power rankings. We can't spreak for the NFL power rank methods of others, but if calculations predict that a 3-4 team would likely win in a game versus a 4-3 team on a neutral field, then the 3-4 team will be ranked higher in the FootballLOCKS.com NFL power ranks.  

A Goal of Pro Football Power Rankings:
One goal is to arrive at a ranking of NFL teams that serves as a prediction of what league standings would resemble if every team played the same schedule.

Therefore, in order to determine each team's NFL power rating, adjustments are made for the strength of schedule each team has faced. After all, the NFL power rankings are an effort to assess which teams are best in the NFL from top to bottom, not which teams had the easiest schedule so have the best record at any given point in time, or even the best record in the final NFL standings.  

As a result, within FootballLOCKS.com’s NFL rankings it’s possible to find a team with a better record ranked closely to or below a team with a record that isn’t quite as good... Otherwise, NFL power ratings would simply be a list of teams in exact order of their records; and there’s already a name for that, “NFL standings”.  

Of course FootballLOCKS.com’s NFL power ranking formula is instrumental in making NFL line adjustments internally as part of FootballLOCKS.com’s backwards odds handicapping strategy for making NFL picks versus Las Vegas weekly NFL odds and point spreads. However, as FootballLOCKS.com is in the NFL handicapping business, this element of the weekly NFL power rankings is kept internal.

We hope you enjoy FootballLOCKS.com’s NFL weekly power rankings. Be sure to bookmark the FootballLOCKS.com NFL power ranking page, and return next week (when in season) for the Tuesday update.
