Notes
1
Philadelphia Eagles
+650
The Eagles take the top spot this week due to the Chiefs taking a loss, but there was nothing dominant about their win over the Patriots. They do, however, have a slate of winnable games coming up on their schedule, and should remain at #1 until someone is able to put them in the loss column.
2
San Francisco 49ers
+600
No contender enjoyed a more dominant victory on Sunday, as the 49ers demolished the Steelers on the road to open the season. But San Francisco entered the season behind Philly in the power rankings, and will likely stay there until the Eagles are defeated.

+1400
Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill were the talk of Sunday’s action, and rightfully so. The Dolphins won an important early season game and their offense looks unstoppable, but the defense that was supposed to be improved gave up 34 points. They climb up a spot in the rankings and have the Patriots and Broncos looming on the schedule.
6
Buffalo Bills
+1000
The Bills looked like they had the upper hand early on when Aaron Rodgers suffered his injury, but turnovers ultimately cost Josh Allen and company en route to a 22-16 overtime victory. There are more questions than answers about Buffalo after Monday night, and their spot in the top 10 is in…
