NFL Power Ratings for Week 9
New England moves back to the top of the list as Philly takes a tumble at Pittsburgh. The Steelers are moving up rapidly, but let's see how they handle their newfound stardom after knocking off the remaining unbeatens in consecutive weeks.
The AFC is the stronger conference this year, with a record of 8 games above .500 against the NFC. Home field advantage has become fairly strong again, at 2.9 points per game, after being below 2 points for much of the season.
Not hard to figure out the problem with the Chiefs; they've got the best offense in the league with the worst defense in the league, plus of course they're playing a top seed schedule based on their performance last year. Before you discount the ranking, remember, they beat Indy two weeks ago by 10 and Atlanta the week before that by 46. Their rating is skewed by those two victories, true, but they're also recent performance.
