Below are our Week 15 NFL Power Rankings along with our weekly betting edges and recommended picks.
Part of our rankings process includes moving teams up and down in the initial phase each week based on game results, injuries and other information. We are trying to determine where teams rank as of today instead of where they might rank in a month or six weeks if circumstances change. For example, the Saints may have been previously undervalued with Derek Carr back at quarterback, but without him they drop to being one of the bottom teams in the entire league.
Once that part of the process is done, we run the relevant numbers through our algorithm then add the input of bookmakers and the sharp betting market. Finally, as the week progresses, we track the injury reports, sharp line moves and other breaking news and put each of the week's matchups through a rigorous set of rules and guidelines to get a composite number that is unaltered.
Advanced stats, coaches' in-game decision-making, recent form, depth after injuries and many other factors are considered before the final numbers are produced. We tweak our results throughout the week and update them in real time as game scores and new injuries flood in on Sundays. Our power rankings are not subjective. There are teams we feel may be overvalued or undervalued, but that can be valuable info when looking at point spreads and finding edges as the lines move throughout the week.
Our Week 15 NFL power rankings are below, and we feel that is important to understand that they are based on a formula and process, not on the opinion of any one person or group of people. Early in the week, we use the information at our disposal to determine which games might present an edge one way or another for bettors before the lines move too far in the wrong direction.
The numbers are the numbers, but the teams we think may be undervalued or overvalued are listed below the rankings along with games where we feel there might be a betting edge as of Friday morning. These rankings DO INCLUDE the Thursday night Rams-49ers game.
The games where we see potential betting edges and this week's recommended picks also are listed below as well as some potential money line parlay and teaser legs. The rankings are where our process starts and how we begin to narrow down games as potential recommended All-Star or Superstar picks. All-Star Picks have a 60-percent or better win probability. Superstar Selections have a win probability of 70 percent or higher.
