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 2026-10-13, Jacksonville Jaguars sit first in the results-only NFL ratings at
+12.2 points per game against an average opponent, ahead of San Francisco 49ers (+9.8).
32 teams rated. This is our own rating from results, not a promise.
In the week to 13 October: Green Bay Packers moved up 15 places to 14th; Las Vegas Raiders dropped 11 places to 18th.

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. Anyone can check it from public scores, and no one votes.
Ratings recompute daily as results land.
