2019 NFL Power Rankings Week 9

The NFL’s Week 9 schedule is here, with tonight’s San Francisco 49ers at Arizona Cardinals game kicking off the week. Normally a Tuesday event, I am lagging behind this week in getting The Phinsider 2019 NFL Power Rankings out this week, so we catch up now.

If you have not checked out our Power Rankings this year, we do things a little differently than most sites. Josh Houtz and I do the rankings, but we do not look at last week’s standings and adjust the teams based on that. Instead, we start with a clear board each week and draft the team that we think will win the Super Bowl, with the two of us alternating picks.

This week, Houtz takes the odd picks and I have the even.

1. New England Patriots (Last week: 1)
2. New Orleans Saints (4)
3. San Francisco 49ers (3)
