Here are updated NFL ratings. I tried a method (not least squares) that lessens the weight of outliers. The Titans’ titanic win over the Eagles lifted them ahead of the Steelers. AFC still rocks with the top 8 teams. The poor Chargers are a solid team but continually snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
