Grandstander Power Rankings Through Week 13

Yes, I know that I neglected to post an updated GPR after the Week 12 games. I blame it on being in a depressed state over that Steelers loss to the Cleveland Haslams.  Anyway, a nice win over the Bungles  snapped me right out of it, so here we go.....

1. Lions 11-1 (Prior Ranking: 1)
2. Eagles 10-2  (5)
3. Bills 10-2 (2)
4. Chiefs 11-1 (3)
5. Steelers 9-3  (4)
6. Vikings 10-2  (7)
7. Packers 9-3 (Unranked)
8. Ravens 8-5 (6)
9. Chargers 8-4  (8)
10. Broncos 8-5  (Unranked)

Knocking at the Door:  Cardinals 6-5, Commanders 8-5, Seahawks 7-5, Texans 8-5

As an added feature, I give you The Grandstander's Ballot for the NFL MVP Award through Week 13:

1. Saquan Barkley, Eagles
2. Josh Allen, Bills
3. Jared Goff, Lions

Looking ahead:

• A HUGE game on Thursday night between the Lions at home against the Packers.  A TNF game for which it will be worth staying up late.  Lions are 3.5 point favorites and the O/U is 51.5.   Not sure how to bet on this one.
• Steelers a 6.5 point favorite at home against the Browns.  This will be a revenge game, and I look for the Steelers to shut the loud mouths of the CleveBrownies.  O/U is 44.5.
• The win-by-the-skin-of-the-teeth Chiefs at home against the surging LA Chargers.  Chiefs a 3.5 favorite and the O/U is 42.5.
