Statsational 2023 NFL Week 18 Power Rankings With Wild Card Projections

Each week, Statsational will go over his NFL Power Rankings to bring you up to speed on the numbers. Are your eyes deceiving you, or are the numbers wrong? Let us know in the Discord chat.


The ratings are based on each team vs. the average team in the league. You can use the rating differential of two teams and add the Home Field Advantage to get an idea of where the model likes the spread for that game. I would use this as a guide, not your final say on a game. We have a lot of models and tools for you to help with your handicapping, and this is one of them.

Key

Power Rating - The higher the number, the better the team ranks. The differential in 2 teams can be compared to a pt spread on a neutral site.

SOS - Strength Of Schedule

Defense Rating - How many expected points are to be given up against an average team

Offense Rating - How many points are expected to be scored against an average team



After Week 18
The current HFA is 2.69. I expect it to be 2.69 by year's end.

Offensive Rushing - Total yards above or below gained against the average their opponent gives up on the ground
Offensive Passing - Total yards above or below gained against the average their opponent gives up in the air
Defensive Rushing - Total yards above or below allowed against the average their opponent gains on the ground
Defensive Passing - Total yards above or below allowed against the average their opponent gains in the air
Off Passing - Def Passing - This combines the passing numbers for each team offensively and defensively. The higher the number, the better it is to target that team in game stacks.
