PFT Power Rankings

[Guiness]

PFT has three NFC North teams in the top 5 of this week's power rankings. The Bears are even in the top half of the league, coming in at 14. Crazy times!

Similar at ESPN. They have Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears 1-5-9-13. https://www.espn.com/nfl/fpi

Does that mean the Vikings at 6-1 and the best point differential are somehow 9th? I mean I HATE the damn Vikings, but that's kinda statistically weird - like a lot of this analytics crap.

i saw one that had the bears at #12 and the other three teams in the top 6

i told my lions fan friend that it really sucks for those guys. they finally get good, but so does everyone else in the division

we dominated the last 30 years and it was like winning the special olympics every year

This can probably be ignored. Their power ranking is really strange.

I think the Vikings peaked way too early, but they still deserve a top 5 slot at this point.

That's happened multiple times over the decades.

it happens to everybody once in a while.
