About NFL Football Power Ratings
Our NFL power ratings measure the relative performance of all NFL teams using 100% objective NFL performance stats and sophisticated computational algorithms.
Our proprietary NFL power ratings model iteratively analyzes information on every NFL game, including team performance, home/away status, margin of victory, and other factors. As each NFL season progresses, the NFL power ratings model builds a sophisticated, multi-layered web of knowledge: how each team has performed in various game scenarios, the strength of each team's opponents, the strength of each team's opponents' opponents, and so on.
The NFL power ratings model computes unbiased, quantitative ratings that assess both general (e.g. Overall NFL power ratings) and situational (e.g. Home/Away NFL power ratings) performance for every NFL team. The system is complex, unbiased, and dynamic; whenever a new NFL game result comes in, the power ratings of many teams will typically change as a result.
Like fine wine, NFL power ratings tend to improve with age. As more games are played, the potential impact of good luck on a team's results decreases, and the NFL power ratings model can make more "connections" between teams in conferences of varying strength.
