Comments:
Chiefs at #1? Well, they are 2-0, which is about all APR sees right now. And helped by the Chargers win today.
And the 2-0 Saints drop to #21! Well, close wins over a couple 0-2 opponents doesn't look very good (especially squeaking out a last-second 3-point win on the 49ers, after they got pasted 6-31 last week).
And the 0-2 Browns at #12... but they do have close wins against a couple 2-0 opponents. That's how this is supposed to work. But wow, this has been a wacky couple weeks of football.
No surprise, all the big movers are 1-1 teams: Giants (22), Chargers (16), Cardinals (14), Seahawks, Falcons, Eagles, Patriots (13).
Pick results coming sometime Tuesday, followed by picks for next week.
