NFL power rankings
Every team rated by who they beat and by how much. A rating of +5 means the team has
played about five points better than an average opponent; 0 is dead-average.
Strength of schedule is built in — beating good teams counts for more.
As of 2026-09-22, Seattle Seahawks sit first in the results-only NFL ratings at
+21.0 points per game against an average opponent, ahead of Minnesota Vikings (+14.3).
32 teams rated; the picks built on these ratings are graded on the public record.

How it works: we take every completed game, cap blowout margins so one
rout can't own a rating, and solve for the set of ratings where each team's number equals
its average margin plus the average rating of the teams it faced. That is the classic
Simple Rating System — fully reproducible from public scores, no human votes.
Ratings recompute daily as results land.
