Week 1 Power Rankings. Because You Know You Want It

Last October, I quit my job. I worked at Fastenal as the general manager of their San Leandro store, and it was ruining my life. Instantaneously, I was a happier person. But before long, I grew excruciatingly bored. So I did what any unemployed 25-year-old man would do: in a moment of unhearalded nerditude, I created (with the help, grudgingly, of The GF) my own formula for ranking NFL teams. In some ways, I am a sad person. Rather than try to fight this staggering dorkiness, I'm just going to go with it until my underwear slowly begin to wedge themselves up my ass and I scramble out and buy a pocket protector.
I like football way too much.
The following rankings are how they finished last year and have nothing to do with this year:

Does your formula involve a line like:

if (team = Steelers) then team.score += 0.2
else team.score += -0.2

Cause that sounds like a good equation to me.

this is way cool, but with your weekly picks can you just pick like 5 of the games and give me some detail as to why??
