Our NFL power rankings were updated on Wednesday 16 September 2026, after every Week 1 game.<\/strong> The next set lands on Tuesday 22 September, once the Monday night game closes out Week 2.<\/p>\n\n

Week 1 did what opening weekends do. The Chargers fell seven places, the biggest drop of the week, after losing at home to a team that won three games all last season. Baltimore and the Giants climbed five. Jacksonville and Kansas City went up four apiece. Buffalo did not budge, because nothing that happened gave the model a reason to move them.<\/p>\n\n

Below is every team, with the Squawka Signal rating behind the order, each side’s record and last result, and how far they have moved since the preseason set. Underneath the table every team gets its own card, so you can scroll to yours and find the rating, the probabilities, the result and the reasoning in one place.<\/p>\n\n

Squawka Rating is each team’s strength on a 0–100 scale from the Squawka Signal model<\/a>. The ▲<\/span>\/▼<\/span> beside each rank shows movement since the Week 1 rankings. Playoff and Super Bowl odds come from tens of thousands of season simulations.<\/p><\/div>\n\n

How to read this table<\/h2>\n\n

A power ranking is not a standings table. It asks who is actually good, which is a different question from who has won most so far. One week in, those questions have very different answers, and a list sorted purely by results would put Jacksonville first and the Rams thirtieth. That would be nonsense. The Rams took a beating and remain one of the strongest rosters in the league, which is why they sit eighth rather than near the bottom.<\/p>\n\n

The Squawka Rating is a 0 to 100 measure of team strength from the Signal model. It carries a view of each roster into the season and then adjusts on what happens, weighing the margin and the quality of the opponent rather than the win column alone. That is why Houston dropped five places despite scoring 31 points, and why New England lost only one place despite losing.<\/p>\n\n

The playoff and Super Bowl figures come from simulating the rest of the season many thousands of times. They shift a little on every run, so read small differences as noise and the direction of travel as the point. Movement arrows sit beside the rank this week; from next Tuesday they also sit under the rating and both probabilities, since this is the first edition with a stored baseline to measure against.<\/p>\n\n

The five biggest movers<\/h2>\n\n

Los Angeles Chargers, down seven to 18th.<\/strong> The steepest fall of the week. Losing 26-14 at home to a team that finished 3-14 last season is the worst result of Week 1 measured against expectation, and their playoff figure now reads 21%.<\/p>\n\n

Baltimore Ravens, up five to 5th.<\/strong> A 41-23 win in Indianapolis, and the model liked it more than almost anything else that happened. They went 8-9 last season, so this is a rating catching up with a roster rather than reacting to one afternoon.<\/p>\n\n

New York Giants, up five to 19th.<\/strong> Four wins in 2025, then a 28-20 win over Dallas to open this season. Five places is a lot of credit for one game, which tells you how low the starting point was.<\/p>\n\n

Houston Texans, down five to 11th.<\/strong> Harsh on the face of it, because they scored 31 at home against the top-ranked team. Conceding 36 in the same game is what the model noticed.<\/p>\n\n

Jacksonville Jaguars, up four to 3rd, and Kansas City Chiefs, up four to 12th.<\/strong> The two biggest wins of the weekend by margin. Jacksonville beat Cleveland by 24, Kansas City beat Denver by 21.<\/p>\n\n

The contenders, 1 to 8<\/h2>\n\n

Buffalo lead on 99 and did not move, which leaves the widest gap at the top of the table. Winning 36-31 in Houston was the best result of the weekend on paper. It was also the shortest working day.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> They won while holding the ball for 23 minutes 43 seconds. No other winning team in Week 1 had it for less. Buffalo averaged 7.9 yards a play to Houston’s 5.2, which is how you win a game you barely take part in.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Up one after a 13-10 win over New England that was grim by every measure except the one that counts. Seattle led the league on points differential last season at plus 191, so the prior and the result point the same way for once.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Seattle went nought for two in the red zone and two for eleven on third down, and won anyway. Three interceptions covered everything else up.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Up four, the joint-biggest rise of the week, off the largest margin of Week 1. Thirteen wins last season means this is no longer a surprise, though the opponent matters: Cleveland finished 5-12 and now sit 31st here.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Trevor Lawrence completed 18 of 23 for 245 yards and four touchdowns, a passer rating of 150.6. Nothing else in Week 1 came close, and Jacksonville added five sacks with four penalties and no turnovers.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Down two, which is lighter punishment than the scoreline deserved. Fourteen wins last season is why the model kept faith. Monday night in Kansas City was the worst offensive performance by anyone in Week 1.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Denver gained 176 yards in total. Kansas City’s running game alone gained 220. Two of twelve on third down, 3.7 yards a play, and four sacks taken.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Derrick Henry carried 24 times for 144 yards and three touchdowns, and Baltimore still threw for 324 on 25 attempts. Only Chicago gained more yards in Week 1.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Down one, having lost. Losing by three away to the team now rated second costs almost nothing in a model that weighs opponent and margin. Fourteen wins and plus 170 last season is a serious prior to spend.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> New England ran 67 plays to Seattle’s 48 and held the ball for 34:17. Then they threw three interceptions. Drake Maye finished with a passer rating of 54.9.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Up one after a two-point home win over a team that went 5-12 last season, which is why the rise is small. Their 8.6% Super Bowl figure is the third highest on the page and the 87% playoff number is level with Baltimore.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Jalen Hurts completed 14 of 25, barely over half, and threw three touchdowns for a rating of 122.2. Dallas Goedert caught two of them on four receptions for 77 yards.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Seven points at home, and a fall of four places. The Rams are still eighth, which is what a 12-5 season and a plus 172 differential buys you. Not falling further is the prior holding firm.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> The Rams did not concede a single sack and still failed to score a passing touchdown. Matthew Stafford finished with none, one interception, and a rating of 61.2.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Neither side recorded a sack and San Francisco still won by 20. They ran for 174 at 5.8 a carry, Christian McCaffrey averaged 6.8, and they took two penalties all afternoon.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Jahmyr Gibbs carried 29 times for 156 yards and two touchdowns, and Detroit needed every yard of it. New Orleans ran 86 plays, more than any other team in Week 1, and lost by one.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Kansas City ran the ball 38 times for 220 yards. Kenneth Walker had 173 of them on 23 carries at 7.5 a go, with a longest run of 60.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Chicago ran for 291 yards and six rushing touchdowns, both comfortably the most in Week 1, and converted ten third downs, also the most. D’Andre Swift had 124 and three scores on 18 carries.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Up one. Thirty-nine points at home against a division rival, and a single place gained, because the model noticed how little it took to get there: 239 yards at 3.9 a play.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Minnesota scored three passing touchdowns on 151 passing yards and went four for four in the red zone. Justin Jefferson took two of those scores on eight catches for 92.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Down seven, the steepest fall on the page. Losing 26-14 at home to a team that won three games last season is the worst Week 1 result anywhere measured against expectation, and an 11-6 finish in 2025 makes it read worse rather than better.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> The Chargers held the ball for 22:29 and only Tennessee had it for less. Two of eight on third down, and a playoff figure that now reads 21%.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Up five, matching Baltimore for the biggest climb of the week. Beating Dallas is worth a great deal when you are starting from 24th after a 4-13 season. A minus 58 differential is not undone in a week, but the direction is right.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> The Giants converted nine of eleven third downs, 82%, the best rate of Week 1, and scored on all four red-zone trips. Jaxson Dart went 23 of 29 for 230 yards and three touchdowns.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Dallas converted eight of eleven third downs and scored on all three red-zone trips, and lost by eight. They ran 52 plays to the Giants’ 68 and held the ball for 23:20.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Down one after a competitive defeat in Cincinnati. Their 36% playoff figure is the highest of any team ranked outside the top twenty, which says more about the state of the NFC South than about Tampa Bay.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Baker Mayfield completed 23 of 28, 82%, for 216 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. Tampa Bay still lost the ball four times, more than any other team in Week 1.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

No movement. Thirteen points in Pittsburgh, with only four teams scoring fewer all week. Last season’s 8-9 came with a minus 48 differential, so a rating of 45 is not new information.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Atlanta did not reach the red zone once. Not a single attempt in sixty minutes. Two of twelve on third down, four sacks taken, two interceptions thrown.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Down two after losing by 18 at home. The oddity here is that Indianapolis posted a plus 54 differential in 2025 while finishing 8-9, which is the signature of a team better than its record. The model has never bought it, and a 12% playoff figure says it still does not.<\/p>

No movement, having lost by a point on the road to a team ranked tenth. Scoring 30 in Detroit is the sort of afternoon that usually earns a rise. Thirty-four percent to reach the playoffs is generous without being absurd.<\/p>

Week 1 in one number.<\/strong> Tyler Shough threw 56 passes, more than any other quarterback in Week 1, for 410 yards and three touchdowns. New Orleans ran 86 plays, also the most. They lost by one, and Chris Olave caught ten for 182.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

How the rankings are calculated<\/h2>\n\n

The Squawka Rating is our model’s measure of team strength on a 0 to 100 scale. It begins from a view of each roster and then moves on results, weighing the margin and the strength of the opponent rather than the record alone. The playoff and Super Bowl probabilities come from simulating the remaining season many thousands of times. Tens of thousands, in fact.<\/p>\n\n

These are the same figures you will find on all 32 team pages and on the NFL hub<\/a>, so nothing on this site contradicts anything else on it. The Signal methodology<\/a> sets out the model in full.<\/p>\n\n

The table is rebuilt every Tuesday, once the Monday night game has finished the week. That timing matters. Refreshing before the full slate is in produces movement based on an incomplete week, so we wait.<\/p>\n\n

For how the seeding works from here, see our NFL playoff predictions<\/a>. Weekly game-by-game calls sit on the NFL picks page<\/a>, and season-long markets are on the NFL futures page<\/a>. All times here are Eastern. A 1:00pm ET Sunday game is 10:00am in Vancouver and 2:00pm in Halifax.<\/p>\n\n\n

What are the latest NFL power rankings?<\/strong>

Our NFL power rankings were updated on 16 September 2026, after every Week 1 game. Buffalo lead on a Squawka Rating of 99, with Seattle second on 91 and Jacksonville third on 86. Tennessee sit 32nd on 4. The table is rebuilt every Tuesday once the Monday night game has finished.<\/p><\/div>

Who are the strongest teams in the NFL right now?<\/strong>

Buffalo, Seattle, Jacksonville, Denver and Baltimore make up the top five. Buffalo have not moved since the preseason set. Baltimore climbed five places after winning 41-23 in Indianapolis, and Jacksonville rose four after beating Cleveland by 24.<\/p><\/div>

Who is favored to go to the Super Bowl in 2026?<\/strong>

Buffalo carry the highest Super Bowl probability in our model at 20.4%, well clear of Seattle on 13.3%. Philadelphia lead the NFC field on 8.6%, with Jacksonville on 7.8% and Detroit on 7.0%. These are model probabilities, not sportsbook prices. They move as results come in.<\/p><\/div>

How often are NFL power rankings updated?<\/strong>

Ours are rebuilt every Tuesday morning, after the Monday night game completes the week. That gives a full set of results before anything moves. Each edition explains what changed and why, so the arrows reflect a real week rather than a mid-week guess.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
