Someone (flyinghawks) called my ranking of Chicago too high last week, and it turns out they were right.
Seattle and Cleveland losses were pretty surprising, but I don't think anyone's ratings could've rated this right.
But, the Chicago loss showed that last week's rankings of both Mia and Chi weren't accurate (in hindsight only IMO). The oddsmakers somehow knew what was up, though.
It seems wrong to put Eagles way up in 3rd spot, but I have no choice until they falter a bit.
Maybe this week, Cards will show us that Eagles aren't *that* good *and* that they themselves are as good their record.

This is what my ranking 'likes' vs what the oddsmakers 'like'. Most of it are discrepancies between my rankings and Vegas lines.
