Welcome to Week 8 of the Raymond Report NFL Power Ratings, where we separate the true contenders from the record pretenders. With the midpoint of the season in sight, Strength of Schedule (SOS) is beginning to expose who’s built to last — and who’s been feasting on cupcakes.
Let’s break down this week’s movers, shakers, and heartbreakers through the Raymond Report lens: Power Rating (PR) × Strength of Schedule (SOS) = True Market Value.
| Team | W-L | PR | SOS% | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🦅 Philadelphia Eagles | 5-2 | 0.64 | 57.14% | Battled-tested and balanced. Surviving one of the toughest slates in football. |
| 🦁 Detroit Lions | 5-2 | 0.62 | 51.91% | Dan Campbell’s crew continues to deliver in the trenches. Still undervalued. |
| 🧀 Green Bay Packers | 4-1-1 | 0.62 / 0.67 (L3) | 44.05% | Efficient and well-rested — schedule gets tougher, but metrics hold. |
| 🏈 Indianapolis Colts | 6-1 | 0.63 / 0.61 (L3) | 40.82% | Best record, strong PR, but a soft SOS — beware of overvaluation ahead. |
| 🐊 San Francisco 49ers | 5-2 | 0.62 / 0.67 (L3) | 52.04% | Still elite despite schedule heat. PR bump supported by strong SOS. |
| 🏴☠️ Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 5-2 | 0.62 / 0.67 (L3) | 52.72% | The Raymond Report darling — consistent PR rise, balanced schedule. |
| 🐏 L.A. Rams | 5-2 | 0.61 | 50.00% | Stafford and McVay in sync again. Balanced and trending bullish. |
➡️ Takeaway: These seven are your stock-market blue chips. They’ve proven consistency both against quality opponents (SOS) and within performance trends (PR). Tampa Bay and Detroit remain top value plays.
| Team | W-L | PR | SOS% | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🐎 Denver Broncos | 5-2 | 0.57 / 0.61 (L3) | 42.86% | Quietly one of the AFC’s hottest teams, but against light competition. |
| 🪶 Seattle Seahawks | 5-2 | 0.60 / 0.61 (L3) | 48.98% | Consistent and well-coached — just keep winning and cashing tickets. |
| 🐆 Jacksonville Jaguars | 4-3 | 0.57 | 57.82% | Schedule’s been brutal — numbers show they’re better than the record. |
| ⚡ L.A. Chargers | 4-3 | 0.52 | 46.94% | Competitive, but inconsistent. Market still overprices them. |
| 💙 Kansas City Chiefs | 4-3 | 0.52 / 0.56 (L3) | 47.28% | Holding steady. PR suggests they’re not elite — yet. |
| 🏹 Atlanta Falcons | 3-3 | 0.55 / 0.56 (L3) | 59.92% | Strong SOS keeps them relevant. Falcons bettors still finding value. |
| 🐻 Chicago Bears | 4-2 | 0.55 / 0.67 (L3) | 42.86% | Shock alert: The Bears are trending bullish in every measurable metric. |
➡️ Takeaway: These are the “swing stocks” — not overbought, not oversold. Smart bettors watch SOS trends; Jacksonville and Atlanta have hidden upside, while Kansas City is priced like 2022 KC, not 2025 KC.
| Team | W-L | PR | SOS% | Trend |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 💥 Dallas Cowboys | 3-3-1 | 0.50 / 0.56 (L3) | 49.52% | Mediocre metrics meet inconsistent effort. |
| 💚 Houston Texans | 2-4 | 0.42 / 0.50 (L3) | 50.40% | A tough schedule masks some progress. |
| 💜 Minnesota Vikings | 3-3 | 0.52 / 0.39 (L3) | 54.37% | Playing better than their market line — potential buy signal. |
| 🔥 Carolina Panthers | 4-3 | 0.48 / 0.61 (L3) | 38.78% | Suddenly hot with 3 straight wins. Numbers confirm it’s not a fluke. |
| 🪖 Washington Commanders | 3-4 | 0.47 / 0.50 (L3) | 51.56% | Competent but capped — stay cautious on spreads. |
➡️ Takeaway: These are transitional teams — capable of short-term streaks but not reliable long-term investments. Carolina’s recent surge is real; Minnesota is a sneaky play if they stabilize their defense.
| Team | W-L | PR | SOS% | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🐦 Arizona Cardinals | 2-5 | 0.42 / 0.39 (L3) | 56.33% | SOS tough, but execution poor. Fade material. |
| 🦈 N.Y. Jets | 0-7 | 0.28 / 0.44 (L3) | 56.80% | League’s basement. SOS isn’t helping, but QB play is worse. |
| ⚜️ New Orleans Saints | 1-6 | 0.36 / 0.56 (L3) | 57.82% | SOS high, but team underperforming in every metric. |
| 🐬 Miami Dolphins | 1-6 | 0.33 / 0.28 (L3) | 52.38% | Once fast, now flat. Offense fading against real defenses. |
| 🟤 Cleveland Browns | 2-5 | 0.39 / 0.33 (L3) | 48.85% | Flacco’s absence exposed the depth issue. |
| 🐍 Tennessee Titans | 1-6 | 0.35 / 0.39 (L3) | 55.78% | No identity, no spark, no value. |
➡️ Takeaway: The bottom dwellers continue to burn bankrolls. Even with respectable SOS numbers, these teams can’t convert metrics into wins. Stay away or fade them aggressively.
The Power Rating (PR) doesn’t lie — it exposes the truth behind the records. By combining win percentage, loss percentage, and SOS, the Raymond Report filters out the noise. As Week 8 lines settle, remember:
“Bet the truth, not the team name.”
