What this is
A comparison of APR's Week 7 power rankings with ESPN's rankings for the same week of games. This acts as a sanity check (both ways) to see what teams are over- or underrated.
Only teams that are at least 9 positions apart are listed. The number in parentheses is the difference between APR's rank and ESPN's rank.
Teams ESPN likes more than APR:
- Saints (+11)
- ESPN is finally starting to move the Saints down, but APR really penalized them their disaster of a game at home against the formerly 1-win Browns.
- On the bubble:
- Buccaneers (+8), Cardinals (+7)
Teams APR likes more than ESPN:
- Nobody outside the -8 spot threshold
- On the bubble:
- Cowboys, Chargers, Lions, Browns (-7)
Way more agreement than there's ever been this early in the season. I suppose that's a good thing...
