Gridiron Gab Week 16 Power Rankings

The spookiest week of football so far this season has the rankings in turmoil. Upsets, injuries and power outages have teams moving and shaking all over the board. As always if you think you can do better, leave your own rankings in the comments below. 1. New Orleans Saints (11-3). I struggled with this decision [...]

Gridiron Gab Week 15 Power Rankings

The season is officially winding down as we round into the final three weeks. The top of the NFC is all but set heading into the playoffs with a few teams jockeying for those coveted top seeds, while the AFC is a completely different story. With four teams at 10-3 every week is a must [...]

Gridiron Gab NFL Preseason Power Rankings

1. New Orleans Saints – Improved ground game for Drew Brees is scary to think about.  Mark Ingram has the best interior line in football to work with.  A loaded defensive front combined with a top-tier secondary has coordinator Gregg Williams smiling.  Gotta love Sean Payton’s aggressive play calling on offense.  Superdome is the definition [...]
