2022 NFC Week 11 Kayfabe and Political Rankings

I'll start backwards:

DUD OF THE WEEK:

WINNERS:  The booking committee.  Whoever is rigging the NFL can't seem to keep their story straight.

So you have Green Bay go over Dallas on Sunday -- and then on Thursday have them make Ryan Tannehill look good.

A bit less so (because it was pretty clear that this is about as much a subversion as the NFL will allow), you had Minnesota go over Buffalo last week -- and then probably get the worst shellacking of any team this season in a 40-3 exposure to the Cowboys.  That would've won most weeks easily if there wasn't some sort of pattern going on.

Take the Giants, for example.  7-2 -- and I said they weren't a great 7-2.  And you lose two touchdowns to Detroit!  (Now, if you want to say "services rendered" for providing the stadium for Buffalo and Cincy to play in, I won't stop that!)

Philly's 8-1, and needs every trick in the book and probably some refball to one-point beat Indianapolis?

Now it could be a rewrite:  Again, The Tom Bradys had their bye this week.

So now the Politicals, since I'm doing this one backwards.

1)  Philadelphia

#1 until proven otherwise.  And now you get the free win vs. the Pack to go 10-1.

2) Dallas

Gotta move them to #2 now because that's the kind of win which is indicative that the league just might finally be giving Jerry Jones the push he's demanded to Hell and back...

But they get the Giants on Thursday...

3) Tampa Bay

No matter the record, winning the division gets one home game, and then they only would need to win that one and two more -- and who knows, the way this league is booking parity, or so it seems.

Minnesota and the Giants take a step backward, San Francisco and Seattle still a bit too far in the rear-view mirror.
