Power Rakees Time, week four.

Presented by our friends at Toyota, the top two unchanged.

After that, we got some movement. The Lions.

Hey, people are triggered that the Lions are ahead of the Packers because the Packers beat the Lions,

folks, it is an evolving experience. The Packers beat the Lions in week one. Two weeks later,

the Packers lost to the Browns and the Lions had one of the biggest wins of the year. They went

into Baltimore and they out Baltimore, Baltimore. That's right.

So yeah, I don't care that the Packers beat the Lions in week one. Where are we right now?

Right. Where are we right now? This is where we are. And it's more than appropriate. And it happens all year long. Well, back in week two, we beat that team. It doesn't matter. Where are you right now? What are you doing for me right now? Right now, the Lions are number three and the Packers are number seven. And they're my rankings. Deal with it. If you don't like it. Well, no, I hear what you're saying. I mean, you know, one, hey, I understand head-to-head matchups have value and all that, too, right? But as the year goes on, that's just not what you got to look at in totality. Just because you lost to that one team doesn't mean you're better, not better in totality. I mean, so by that logic, sometimes I want to go, well, then let's put the Browns in front of the Packers. That's what I would say to people like, I guess the Browns are better this week. So let's put them in front of the Packers. I mean, no, that's not the way it works. We know it's the NFL. The margin of victory is slim. I mean, the league is like this, and it's a match-up league, right? You have certain teams where you go, wait, we match up really well with this team, and you can have a team that beat you, and they don't match up the same well with that team the next week. So it doesn't always just work like that. That's a tough little area, though, you got right there with that, you know, five, six, seven, eight. That's, you know, that's a tightly packed group right there. How did you kind of decipher through all that there? Pulled it out of my butt. Yeah. As I always do. It's a very detailed process of what feels right to me as I'm doing it. I mean, look, and it's not a projection. People think it's also like, oh, well, if the Chargers and the Bucks played this week, you're saying the Chargers would win. No, I'm just saying as of right now, you know, the Chargers have been a little more impressive than the Buccaneers. I mean, the Buccaneers have had to pull a rabbit out of their hat three straight weeks. Some would argue that that's more impressive than what the charges have done. It's close. Those are close. Three, four, five, six are all close to me. And, you know, the Packers beat the commanders, so there was no way. I mean, that is one area where it's going to be apples to

apples because the commanders beating the Raiders on Sunday isn't nearly enough for me to say,

well, that that's more than enough to make up for the fact that the Packers just, you know,

took care of the commanders without it being very close. So, you know, the hard one is the Colts.

Well, I feel like, yeah, right. I feel like at nine, I feel like nine is fair. They're up four. So I was already on the bandwagon. And this is their opportunity. They're playing the Rams this week. You want to crack the top six, beat the Rams. Yeah. Crack, you beat the Rams and you'll be in the top six. Yeah, that was one I was going to ask you about the Colts a little bit, right? I was just going to go, how did you do that? But I can understand you not being totally sold on it quite yet. I played the Dolphins and the Titans. I think two of the more bottom of the league type of football teams did beat

the Broncos, who I think are damn good. So I understand you're wanting to see one more

week against another quality opponent to gauge that. The other one I want to ask you about

is you got two one and two teams ahead of a team that's three and oh and two and one and two and 1, right? How do you kind of, how'd you get through to that, right? How did you deal with the chiefs? Because I said you're with the chiefs, and this is the one I was most interested to see, and I went, I know that the chiefs. I know all that. But damn, the chiefs, I don't care who it is. it's going to be a close game and they're going to barely win it. That's just, how good are they?

I don't care who it is. It's going to be a close game and they're

going to barely win it. That's just, how good are they? I don't really know. And that's one I

wanted to hear you explain a little bit with your logic there with the Chiefs. Well, and look,

I've gotten no complaints from Chiefs fans that even though they won by double digits,

they fell a spot.

No complaints at all.
