NFL Power Rankings: Chiefs Move Up

facebooktwitterreddit

ESPN.com has released their weekly Power Rankings and the Kansas City Chiefs are moving up following their victory

over the Denver Broncos.

The Chiefs moved up from #12 a week ago to #11, thanks mostly to their 3-game winning streak. There was no discrepancy in the voting this week as all four experts tanked the Chiefs #11 on their ballots.

KC remains the highest ranked AFC West team with their next opponent, the San Diego Chargers being the next closest at #14.

Curiously, the Chargers are ranked higher than the Oakland Raiders, a team that has beaten them twice and has the exact same record. How does that work? The folks at ESPN need to have their heads examined. If I were part of Raider Nation I’d throw myself off a bridge but before I did, I’d be mad about these power rankings.

Speaking of the Raiders, the sit two spots behind the Chargers at #16.

Bringing up the rear, as they have done most of the season, are the coachless Denver Broncos at #28.

What do you think Addicts? Are the Chiefs getting a fair shake here or have they earned their way to at least a top 10 ranking?
