NFL power rankings are weekly or periodic lists that rank all 32 NFL teams from best to worst based on their overall strength, current form, and roster quality, rather than strictly by their win-loss record. Analysts use them to evaluate how teams stack up against each other at any given moment.

Pickles Week 9 Power Rankings

Week 9 is already two games in, and we’re ready for a full day of football. The early slate gives us 12 hours of action, and after Monday night, we’ll officially be halfway through the NFL regular season. From there, the downhill sprint to the playoffs begins.

We’re happy with where we stand across our contests, though the survivor entries are giving us a little more stress than we’d like. We’re limping into this week, but there’s plenty of season left and plenty of work to do. Every week brings new surprises, and both cappers will keep adjusting to the teams we’re seeing now. Finky is also diving deep into his rankings to make sure they reflect each team’s current form, not just where they started the season.

Here’s a look at the contests we’re playing this year:

- MyBookie: three SuperContest entries and seven survivor entries

- Splash: three private-league survivor entries and one player-survivor entry

- Splash: five Survivor Revival entries, which started in Week 4

We also jumped into a few smaller contests using free play, just to add another layer of fun. The Prop Queen player-survivor contest has been especially interesting: each week, you pick one player, and their fantasy points add up toward your season total. The catch? You can use each player only once, so every pick is a balancing act between chasing a big score and saving options for later weeks.

This is our first time taking on a contest like this, but we figured, “Why not give it a shot?” We’ll be back each Sunday with our contest picks, a look at how the games are unfolding, and updates on how our entries are holding up. There’s a long way to go, and we’re looking forward to riding out the rest of the season with you.
