Reddy’s NFL Crazy Rankings are based on a point system. Each team that won their first NFL Game starts out with 10 pts for their win.

The following week, when a team plays their opponent and wins against a winning or losing team, they get the teams winning percentage points of the previous week plus 10 pts for the win. If a team keeps beating a winning team, their percentage of points will be higher than if they beat a losing team.

If a team plays an opponent and loses, they do not get any points for that week. Each week the points are tabulated and based on the points, I pick the top 10 teams of the NFL for that week including where all the other teams stand.

If there is a tie in the point system, the net difference in their PF/PA is calculated and the team that has the highest net difference of points breaks the tie unless their record is better than the other teams with the same point system. If the tie continues, the team that won most games away from home would get the tie breaker. If it continues, it is based on their conference record, and then their division record.

They are called Reddy’s Crazy Rankings, because I am ready to take an undefeated team out of the Top 10 if their wins came against losing teams. Hopefully, these rankings will show who really are in the hunt to be Super Bowl Contenders and who really are in the hunt to be Super Bowl Pretenders in December and as January approaches.

This is an important game for the Titans as they hope to catch up to the Colts for the division lead with a Colts loss. The AFC is so good right now that a 10-6 record may not be enough to make the playoffs so the Titans need to at least get 1 more win for playoff hopes.

A win and a loss by the Eagles will put them closer to that home field advantage.
The Bengals (8-7) loss gives them a slight hope to still win the division since the Ravens lost too. The Rams (12-3) win with a Eagles loss gives them hope to win homefield advantage with a victory next week. (Dec 23, 03)
