This is an objective, unbiased ranking in the same vein as the NFL Title Belt. As such, the number 1 ranked team will always be the same as the current NFL Title Belt holder. You can see the original belt that inspired my own here, which they are now updating again.

This is Week 3 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2024 season. See here for last week’s rankings.

10 of the 16 games this last weekend ended with the lower ranked team jumping the higher ranked team.

The Chiefs beat the Falcons to keep the NFL Title Belt and first ranking. The Chiefs will hold the NFL Title Belt until their first loss of the 2024 season. The Chargers will have a chance to take the title belt on Sunday.

With the Panthers beating the Raiders, and 3 other bottom ranked teams winning, the Chargers are now last place until their next win. The Chargers will play the Chiefs Sunday to move out from last.

If the Chargers are able to beat the Chiefs this weekend, they could move from last to first.

Also, the table text seems to not show up with browser default dark mode. So if that’s happening to you, you can switch the theme on your Lemmy profile to dark mode.

This ranking assumes that there are never any fluke games and all teams are appropriately ranked. If you beat a team that is higher ranked than you, you move ahead of them and they move down one spot. However, other teams can jump in front of teams that are higher ranked than you, moving you further down the rankings.
