NFL Power Rankings - Week 16
It seems that the Patriots are destined to go on another Super Bowl run regardless if Gronkowski won't be on the field. This teams continues to amaze me with the various ways they can win games. They go into Denver, a place they have not played well at, and beat Denver at its own game with a slow, grind it out type of game.
Dallas also looks destined for Super Bowl LI with yet another nice victory against a red hot team in the Tampa Bay Bucs. The Cowboys coughed up the lead only to get it back and finish the game off with the Zeke Train.
Here are the NFL Power Rankings based on the GE model. FYI, the GE rankings are based on points, yards, and turnovers for both offense and defense. Normal behavior is assumed and the GE scores are similar to Z-scores. Any score above 1 is considered strong, scores close to 0 is average, and scores below 1 is weak.
