2019 Week 1 Power Rankings

by ArkLaTex | 7 years ago | 1 Comments

1. Houston Texans - Chan is the defending SB champ and he beat the LAC like a drum in week 1. He has earned the #1 spot. Looks like Chan has built another dynasty in the AFC South and the SFL.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Steps gets his highest ranking ever by defeating ATL in OT in week 1. I only caught the end of the game but Steps team looked like the real deal. This doesn't appear to be a fluke win. TB made a statement. 

3. Buffalo Bills - LB is my darkhorse for a SB this season. I do think he wins the super competitive AFC East and catapults to a SB run. No clue on his team besides the draft but I know he knows how to build a team and I expect big things in season 3 here.

4. Atlanta Falcons - Q is almost always #1 or #2, is the guard changing in the NFC? Probably not but it's good to see parity in the division that he has dominated for many seasons. For the first time in a long time, Q is chasing someone in the NFC. Should be an exciting season down there.

5. New York Jets - Jets owner showed up in a big way last season before losing in the AFC Championship. He has the skills to repeat as AFC East champs and push for another SB contention. AFC E is loaded however so another really interesting conference to watch.

6. Seattle Seahawks - Matt starts the year in the top 10 but according to some inside info, I don't expect him to finish the season here. Autopilot defense makes things easy in Seattle, at least for one more season.

7. Cincinnati Bengals - The Bengals shocked the SFL last season by defeating SFL legend B, 3 times and claiming the AFC North title. I was skeptical at first but now I believe in the Bengals. Seems he has B's number and I expect another AFCN title for Cincy.

8. Dallas Cowboys - Zach jumped over the NFC East and started running things in his first season. The Cowboys have a ton of talent and it'll be interesting to see how the Zach vs Bryce series unfolds in 2019.

9. Cleveland Browns - B struggled last season and didn't make the SB for the first time in a while. It's been a tough read for me on the Browns as I've made the Browns my pre-season SB winner last 2 seasons and was wrong both times. This will prolly be the season since I'm not high on the Browns. He's gotta get over the mental hump of the Bengals now though.

10. Indianapolis Colts - Clint will turn some heads in the 2019 season, I'm calling it now. The Colts have better talent than last season and it should make for a really exciting AFC South race with Hou, Indy, and Tenn all going at it. 

11. Philadelphia Eagles - If Bryce plays his games this season, which he said he will, he will contend for a top 10 spot.

12. Oakland Raiders - Mike lived up to his ranking last season and I expect more of the same from Oak town. Lots of talent on that roster.

13. Minnesota Vikings - Jason showed up and showed out Week 1 with a big win over division rival GB. He has the leg up on Turk now.

14. New England Patriots - Austin is in the ultra competitive AFC East or he would be a lot higher. I think the other teams have caught up to what he does and that's the difference here. 

15. Kansas City Chiefs - A lot of hype from his fellow admins. He did destroy Detroit Wee 1 so it'll be interesting to see which AC shows up, or it's another season of excuses.

16. Green Bay Packers - Turk feel Week 1 in a game I thought he would win. Already a game down in the div is not a good thing but lots of talent and skill in GB to make a push.

17. Los Angeles Rams - JD had his breakout year last season before narrowingly missing the playoffs (you're welcome). I do think his plan of getting rid of Goff could backfire as the season goes though. We shall see.

18. Tennessee Titans - Codie was a top 10 player in the 1H of the SFL last year and then he slowly fell apart. Keeping him low for now until I see how he shows up. 

19. Denver Broncos - Rizzy Rob has the QB to sling the rock all over the place. The same question as last season was his defense. They have only gotten older. 

20. New Orleans Saints - WBS Skkkwkwwaaadddd. Hoping he gets his shit together because 50% of the WBS is hot garbage. 

21. Arizona Cardinals - This guy is my darkhorse pick for the NFC West champ. Keep a close eye on this team. 

22. Carolina Panthers - Crim is poised to make some moves this season and potentially cause some ripples in the NFC South pool. 

23. New York Giants - Gabe is Gabe. Really good talent but don't think he really cares about the SFL honestly. 

24. Chicago Bears - Max could surprise some people this season with the compliment to Love that he has now. 

25. Baltimore Ravens - Goins will play 3rd fiddle in this division again this season. The hate he has for Cincy makes those games must watch though. 

26. Miami Dolphins - Andy shook back last season and improved greatly in the SFL. If he continues to do it again this season he will be formidable. 

27. Washington Redskins - New guy coming into the league. He has some good skills and will be a good addition for the NFC East. 

28. Jacksonville Jaguars - Tons of talent down in FL. I wonder when Bando will wake up and use it.

29. San Francisco 49ers - Spawn snuck up on some people last season and I expect more of the same here. Stay woke when playing the 49ers.

30. Detroit Lions - Julian promised highlight videos, didn't deliver. Promised activity, didn't deliver. Not even gonna ask for wins at this point.

31. Pittsburgh Steelers - Team really doesn't even have a pulse anymore. Kinda sad honestly. 

32. Los Angeles Chargers - They aint shit.
