It’s time! Week 1 is here and so are my NFL power rankings. These can be helpful tools for bettors when pricing matchups while also keeping everything in check from week to week and avoiding recency bias.
In games on a neutral field, every higher-ranked team would be favored or, at least, a pick ’em on the moneyline in this format. For two teams ranked closely together, the difference in the spread would be a home-field advantage (if any), which varies slightly from team to team.
