100% accurate ranking of all 32 teams.

Now that Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season is in the books, it’s time for an incredibly meaningful and serious exercise: NFL Power Rankings! What differentiates these rankings from all the others is that they’re THE only truly accurate ones in the entire universe. We use a proprietary system that heavily accounts for all-important vibes. Let’s take a look at how all 32 teams stack up. (Click here for last week’s version.)

BLG’S WEEK 9 NFL POWER RANKINGS

1 - Kansas City Chiefs (Last Week: 1) - The team that simply does not lose might be getting even better with DeAndre Hopkins and Josh Uche now in the fold. It’s their world and everyone else is living in it.

2 - Detroit Lions (LW: 2) - While the Chiefs are the most inevitable team in the NFL, the Lions are the most imposing team in the NFL. They only needed 85 passing yards from Jared Goff to win a game by a score of 52 to 14. Insane.

3 - Buffalo Bills (LW: 4) - The Bills have the NFL’s second-best point differential at +84. They basically already have the AFC East locked up with as many wins as the rest of their division rivals combined.

4 - Baltimore Ravens (LW: 3) - The Ravens are going to be fine; they’ll bounce back from this loss to Cleveland. But a third loss at this point is pretty deflating while KC remains undefeated and holds a head-to-head tiebreaker over Baltimore. The Ravens can probably kiss the No. 1 seed goodbye.

5 - Green Bay Packers (LW: 6) - Four straight victories for the Packers. Their winning streak will be put to the test with a home game against Detroit this weekend. Can they overtake first place in the NFC North?

6 - Houston Texans (LW: 7) - The Texans are already in a great spot to win the AFC South with a 3-0 division record, including two wins over second place Indy for the head-to-head tiebreaker. But they’re still on fraud watch with just the 15th-best point differential at +9.

7 - Washington Commanders (LW: 8) - I’d say “it’s better to be lucky than good sometimes” but honestly the Commanders deserved to beat Chicago. The Hail Mary was actually a “ball don’t lie” moment considering Jayden Daniels outplayed Caleb Williams. Not to mention the Commanders outgained their opponent by 174 yards and turned the ball over less. For the first time in a very long time, the vibes in Landover, Maryland are very good.

8 - Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 9) - The Eagles are so back. It’s much easier to believe in this team’s ceiling when Jalen Hurts is playing at a high level. He outshined Joe Burrow in Cincy. Vic Fangio’s defense, meanwhile, has allowed just two touchdowns over the Eagles’ last three games. The Eagles have made a habit of bouncing back after uneven starts to games. Perhaps they’re...
