Week 8 Power Rankings

A week without a lot of upsets keep the top 10 the same this week, setting the stage for Super Bowl 41.5 next week. The bottom five also stayed the same , as Atlanta's release of Grady Jackson kept the Falcons behind the Jets despite New York's awful play. The biggest riser is New Orleans, moving up 4 spots, and biggest fall belongs to Houston, dropping 5 spots. Across the board this is the most stable my power rankings have stayed from one week to the next, which led to me going 11-2 in my picks for this week, good for 2nd in my pool.
