Now that Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season is within the books, it’s time for an extremely significant and critical train: NFL Energy Rankings! What differentiates these rankings from all of the others is that they’re THE solely really correct ones in all the universe. We use a proprietary system that closely accounts for vibes. Let’s check out how all 32 groups stack up.
BLG’S WEEK 6 NFL POWER RANKINGS
1 – Kansas Metropolis Chiefs (Final Week: 1) – I wrote the next forward of Week 1: “Patrick Mahomes is inevitable. I genuinely imagine the Chiefs are going to threepeat as Tremendous Bowl champions. It’s very arduous to do, yeah, but when there’s anybody who might … it’s him.” Nothing since has moved me off this stance. It’s not enjoyable to say or admit however I do really feel like this season is definitely only a large waste of time for non-Chiefs followers as a result of they’re going to be group lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy but once more.
2 – Detroit Lions (LW: 2) – The Lions return from their bye to tackle the Cowboys in a revenge sport from when Detroit acquired screwed late final 12 months. You may wager Dan Campbell’s going to have his gamers juiced for this one. Wager the Lions, who might be out to make an announcement.
3 – Minnesota Vikings (LW: 3) – Similar to everybody anticipated, the Vikings are getting into their bye 5-0. It’ll be very fascinating to see how they fare towards Detroit once they return to motion.
4 – Houston Texans (LW: 4) – The Texans, who’ve a -12 level differential, must be saved on fraud watch. However two straight wins, together with one over Buffalo, isn’t dangerous.
5 – Baltimore Ravens (LW: 5) – Common season Lamar Jackson continues to be a drive to be reckoned with.
6 – Buffalo Payments (LW: 6) – The Payments have misplaced two in a row however they had been to the 2 groups straight forward of them in these rankings. They usually had been highway losses. Wager on Josh Allen and the Payments to bounce again.
7 – Washington Commanders (LW: 7) – Jayden Daniels arguably performed his worst sport and but the Commanders nonetheless scored 34 factors. Washington appears like the brand new prime canine within the NFC East.
8 – Inexperienced Bay Packers (LW: 8) – The Packers are literally final within the NFC North standings proper now at 3-2 however Jordan Love will get higher as he will get more healthy.
9 – Atlanta Falcons (LW: 15) – Kirk Cousins is wanting a bit extra useful than he did in Week 1.
10 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 9) – The Bucs one way or the other needed to punt after getting an interception that gave them 1st-and-10 on the plus 28-yard line with 1:44 remaining. As an alternative of having the ability to kick a discipline objective to go up six, they punted and by no means touched the ball once more in an additional time loss.
11 – San Francisco 49ers (LW: 10) – Such a traditional “Tremendous Bowl loser letdown” season occurring for the 49ers.
12 – Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 11) – The Birds return from their bye to host a Cleveland group that’s enjoying their third straight highway sport. That *ought to *be an enormous benefit within the Eagles’ favor. Vic Fangio’s protection *ought to* be capable to cease Deshaun Watson, who’s been terrible. Jalen Hurts and the offense *ought to* bounce again with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Lane Johnson all anticipated to return. However what *ought to* occur doesn’t all the time manifest into actuality for Nick Sirianni’s squad.
13 – New Orleans Saints (LW: 12) – That crimson sizzling 2-0 begin appears like ceaselessly in the past after three straight losses. And now Derek Carr is damage.
14 – Cincinnati Bengals (LW: 18) – You is likely to be questioning why I’m shifting the 1-4 Bengals up after dropping. The reply: they’re higher than their document signifies. Don’t be stunned in the event that they rattle off 4 straight wins with at NYG, at CLE, vs. PHI, and vs. LVR up subsequent.
On the season, the Bengals offense is 2nd in EPA per drive and 2nd in offensive success charge.
Statistically, that is BY FAR probably the most environment friendly offense they’ve ever had with Joe Burrow.
They’re 1-4 with 4 one-score losses by a mixed 15 factors.

15 – Dallas Cowboys (LW: 19) – The Cowboys almost blew a game-winning drive with a objective line fumble however the bounce labored of their favor. They’ve gained two in a row regardless of being banged up. Staying alive.
16 – Arizona Cardinals (LW: 21) – Credit score to Jonathan Gannon (gasp) for really giving his group an edge (what an idea!). Going for the two-point conversion down 10 factors and getting it allowed the Playing cards to take a late lead with a discipline objective after which maintain on to win the sport.
17 – Pittsburgh Steelers (LW: 17) – The Steelers most likely have the smallest hole between ceiling and ground. They’re only a strong however unspectacular group.
18 – New York Jets (LW: 13) – Robert Saleh is gone. I’m certain that’ll repair Aaron Rodgers wanting cooked.
19 – Seattle Seahawks (LW: 14) – The Seahawks’ first three video games had been comparatively straightforward. They’ve since gone 0-2 with the schedule getting a bit harder.
20 – Los Angeles Chargers (LW: 20) – The Bolts return from their bye to play in Denver. Winner of that battle takes management of second place within the AFC West.
21 – Denver Broncos (LW: 22) – Don’t look now however the Broncos have gained three in a row. Bo Nix simply performed his greatest sport by far. Perhaps they’re figuring some issues out?
22 – Indianapolis Colts (LW: 16) – Shane Steichen (complete genius) is now 0-3 towards Doug Pederson (dunce). Pederson can also be 2-1 towards former Colts HC Frank Reich. Doug owns the coordinators that Eagles followers love a lot.
23 – Los Angeles Rams (LW: 23) – The Rams are moderately aggressive however they simply don’t have the horses proper now.
24 – Chicago Bears (LW: 25) – After a tough begin, Caleb Williams has improved over the previous two weeks. That’s the excellent news. The dangerous information is that the Bears have their work lower out for them enjoying within the NFL’s hardest division.
25 – New York Giants (LW: 27) – The G-Males overcame a 14-point swing that went towards them to win in Seattle. They usually did it regardless of lacking main receiver Malik Nabers and main rusher Devin Singletary. Not useless but.
26 – Las Vegas Raiders (LW: 24) – The Raiders benched Gardner Minshew for Aidan O’Connell. Does anybody actually care?
27 – Carolina Panthers (LW: 26) – Benching Bryce Younger for Andy Dalton did give them a spark for one sport. However they’ve gone again to being dangerous.
28 – Tennessee Titans (LW: 30) – The Titans return from their bye to host the Colts. A win would drop Indy to 0-3 in division video games this season. Large alternative to do important injury to an AFC South rival.
29 – Miami Dolphins (LW: 31) – The Dolphins have scored the fewest factors within the NFL this season with simply 60 in 5 video games performed. And but they one way or the other have two wins.
30 – Cleveland Browns (LW: 28) – Simply how dangerous is Deshaun Watson? He’s a greater individual than he’s a participant at this level.
31 – Jacksonville Jaguars (LW: 32) – Doug was in critical jeopardy of being the primary head coach fired. On the very least, he gained’t be that. With Chicago and New England up subsequent, we’ll see if the Jags have really turned a nook or not.
32 – New England Patriots (LW: 29) – 4 straight losses for the Pats. Drake Maye must be taking on for Jacoby Brissett prior to later.
