It does seem weird to expect the 2022 niners to be worse than what you expected the 2021 niners to be. I don't see how they individually got any worse; and their division definitely got weaker without Russ in it. Sure the Rams are still the favorite in that division, but the 49ers were one dropped interception away from beating them in the playoffs and typically have their number when they match up.

I do think the Lions have a good shot at being significantly better than they were last year. Better than the 49ers, though... even for me, that's a bit of a stretch.

I don't think anyone's getting mad about it necessarily. It's just a more ??? thing where your brain tells you it doesn't make sense. And you don't know where they're coming from with a supposed formula.

https://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/123048/a-guide-to-nfl-fpi

quote:

In the preseason, FPI uses a number of predictive factors to project future team strength. The main component of preseason FPI is Vegas expectations; the expected win totals and money lines for each team are an accurate representation of predicted team strength and provide a strong baseline for teams entering the season.

But relying solely on Vegas has its flaws, and more information is needed to determine what percentage of a team's projected win total can be attributed to its offense, defense and special teams units -- the components that make up FPI.

I mean they go on a bit but have they beaten Vegas yet? Honest question, I have no idea, but if they do consistently we're all missing out on some cash. That was written in 2016 and what is linked to the current rankings as an explanation.

vv--well people are getting mad but about subjects I'm ignoring. Not addressing this at Ace for the record.

maybe it's the huge homer in me but I don't see how the Ravens are the 11th team

they had brutal injury luck even before the season started, both in quality and quantity, eventually lost one of the best QBs in the League and still lost like the most games over a combined few points since I don't know when... while playing a backup QB with hardly any NFL experience

they had a decent draft even if it's a crapshoot and most players are well into their way to getting healthy. they have huge questions at WR (well, since when they didn't?) and Ronnie Stanley's ankle but other than that they are a pretty good team that's poised for a bounce back.

I'd say the Bengals are still better, though, especially because of their explosive players

The Ravens are in that case but it's a big if. Tons of what the Ravens do next year is dependent on the progress of all these injured players. If they ALL come back at or near 100% including Stanley? Yeah the Ravens will be a force to be reckoned with.

There's a pretty huge range of what the Ravens could be next year.
