NFL Power Rankings through Week 2- Whodatdish.com
By Dean Mullen
The NFL season is only in Week 2, but the league is showing signs of who needs to step it up quick this week.
There is no team that is going to be the odds on favorite through only two weeks of the NFL season. Teams are just trying to find their rhythm in the early parts of 2017. Be that as it may, there are the usual suspects at the bottom with their 0-2 starts. The New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers and the Cleveland Browns are three of the teams that are exactly where most experts thought.

On the other hand, there’s the New York Giants, New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts that are also 0-2, that may be surprising to some. Also, the Bengals, Chargers, and Bears are still a work in progress to say the least at 0-2. All these teams are not out of the playoff race just yet.
However, if any of these teams drop another game, the percentages go down into the single digits. Unfortunately, that includes the New Orleans Saints. The good thing for the Colts and Browns is that one of those teams will come out with a win this week. Both teams meet this Sunday.
Meanwhile, the other teams that are 2-0 and 1-1 are in great position. The next two weeks will separate the pretenders and contenders. Here are my power rankings after Week 2:
1.) Kansas City Chiefs
2.) Oakland Raiders
3.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
