What this is
A comparison of APR's Week 12 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 with the widest differential are listed. The number in parentheses is the difference between APR's rank and ESPN's rank.
Teams ESPN likes more than APR:
- Bears (+7)
- APR dropped the Bears 9 spots on their blow-out loss to the Rams, which might be a little harsh. On the other hand, the Bears have gone 3-5 since their 3-0 start. They just haven't been playing very good football since September.
- On the bubble:
- Nobody closer than the Browns (+5) and Packers (+5).
