1. Today’s show: Debating Prisco’s Power Rankings
USATSI
Pete Prisco, Ryan Wilson and John Breech joined Will Brinson on the latest “Pick Six NFL Podcast” to dissect and debate Prisco’s latest Power Rankings, where the Ravens have overtaken the 49ers as the No. 1 team in the league.
Some highlights:
Why does Lamar Jackson deserve MVP buzz as Baltimore makes its case as the NFL’s team to beat? “He’s not putting up gaudy numbers,” Prisco explains. “He’s just playing really good football with a good defense. The offense fits him perfectly.”Brinson isn’t ruling out Josh Allen and the Bills as late-year candidates to steal the AFC’s thunder. “If they finish with two strong games and win the division,” he argues, “Josh Allen could be MVP.”Two other clubs on the rise as the season winds down: the Buccaneers, who jumped six spots in Prisco’s rankings while staying atop the NFC South; and the Rams, who have a sneaky MVP candidate in Matthew Stafford, according to Brinson.
