I just noticed I forgot to post this Tuesday afternoon...
What this is
A comparison of APR's Week 9 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:
- Giants (+10)
- An impressive win for the Giants this week (but you can ask the Eagles what one impressive win is worth). APR moves them up 5 spots, but ESPN moves them up 3. Still no decision here, and the Giants have a lot of tough opponents yet to play.
- On the bubble:
- Chiefs (+7)
Teams APR likes more than ESPN:
- On the bubble:
- Falcons (-6), Patriots (-6)
