Following their 45-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. the Kansas City Chiefs were rewarded with a slight uptick in our aggregated Pundit Power Rankings for Week 8 — moving back into second place.Here’s how the NFL shook out once all of Tuesday’s pundit rankings were tabulated.Pundit Power Rankings for Week 8Chiefs AFC West Teams Other AFC TeamsHere"s what the pundits we"re tracking said about the Chiefs this week:ESPN (2nd from 3rd)MMQB (3rd from 4th)NFL.com (Elliot Harrison - 3rd from 3rd)SBNation (Rebecca Toback - 3rd from 3rd)Sporting News (Vinnie Iyer - 4th from 4th)Yahoo! Sports (Frank Schwab - 2nd from 2nd)CBS Sports (Pete Prisco - 4th from 4th)USA Today (Nate Davis - 4th from 4th)Other power rankings we noticed so far this week:NBCSports.com (Cam Ellis — 3rd from 3rd) It is so impressive watching them gain 15 Cheap Terrance Smith Jersey , 20 yards per play like it’s second nature. There isn’t a more *fun* team to watch in football.Bleeding Green Nation (Brandon Lee Gowton — 3rd from 3rd) Andy Reid’s team bounced back with a big win. Kansas City leads the league in points scored with 260. That’s over 37 per game. Must be nice.Washington Post (Mark Maske — 4th from 4th) QB Patrick Mahomes and the offense kept doing their thing Sunday night against the Bengals. And the defense, for a change, was quite good. That was probably the most encouraging development of all on a good night for the Chiefs.NESN.com (Joshua Schrock — 3rd from 3rd) Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs rebounded from their loss to the Patriots by hammering the Cincinnati Bengals 45-10. It looks like the weather might be the only thing that can stop Andy Reid’s high-powered offense.Mile High Report (Pete Baron — 2nd from 2nd) Does this upcoming game count as a 2nd bye week? Like the first time, I’m not all that optimistic. This team, honest to God, is Super Bowl bound. I think the Pats have to march into Arrowhead in January and beat them... and it ain’t happening. I know we love giving the Chief fans grief because they haven’t won a playoff game since the NFL moved away from leather helmets, but bringing up that sort of history when this team is clearly vastly superior to any team the Broncos might be trotting out just reeks of desperation. Chicago Tribune (Brad Biggs — 3rd from 3rd) For all of the focus on Patrick Mahomes Dee Ford Jersey , running back Kareem Hunt is third in the NFL with 542 yards and has five touchdowns.In the view of the national writers, the Los Angeles Rams remain the unanimous pick at number one in Week 8.That’s what remaining undefeated will do for you.When we opened the power rankings live update on Tuesday morning, the Chiefs were in second place, followed by the New England Patriots.But the Chiefs were just barely in second place; the margin between the Chiefs and the Patriots was about a tenth of a point.So when I saw that some of the other early rankings (those outside the group we’re tracking) had the Chiefs in third or fourth place, I considered it a real possibility the Chiefs and Patriots would switch places before the day was out.Instead, the Chiefs remained solidly in second, and the New Orleans Saints moved ahead of the Patriots into third place Cheap Xavier Williams Jersey , where they had been tied with the Chiefs last week.I was surprised there weren’t more pundits who moved the Chiefs up this week.The Bengals are, after all, a decent team — and the Chiefs walloped them.I thought it would be a stretch to see pundits move the Chiefs to first place, but I was surprised how many still have them in fourth.The Detroit Lions had the biggest uptick this week — moving up six spots to 16th — followed by the Washington Redskins and Houston Texans, each of which gained five places.The Jacksonville Jaguars — with their third straight loss — took the biggest fall, dropping seven positions to 20th.The biggest disagreement among the pundits this week was about the Denver Broncos.SBNation’s Rebecca Toback and CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco both decided to give the Broncos a nice bump following their 45-10 defeat of the hapless Arizona Cardinals — while USA Today’s Nate Davis wasn’t impressed at all, dropping the Broncos one spot after their blowout victory.I’ve spent time thinking about it Cheap Chris Jones Jersey , and I can’t decide which of these three pundits looks the most foolish.Snark of the weekI’ve decided to pick out the best snarky comment I find about a team each week to share with you. But I’m telling you right now: any comment including the phrase “dumpster fire” will be automatically eliminated from consideration.These folks are writers.They’re going to have to do better than that to get my attention.The inaugural snark is about the Oakland Raiders — from the MMQB’s Mitch Goldich:Join us on Wednesday, when we round up all the data from the number-crunchers, fold it in with what we learned from the pundits, and give you Arrowhead Pride True Power Rankings — the most complete view of the state of the NFL each week! In a story published on Tuesday, the staff writers of Sports Illustrated’s Monday Morning Quarterback each wrote about what they considered to be the most surprising thing of the NFL season.Two were surprised by Le’Veon Bell’s holdout on the Pittsburgh Steelers.One was surprised by Adrian’s Peterson’s re-emergence with the Washington Redskins.There were stories about how the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers have been surprisingly good, and how the New York Giants have been surprisingly bad.There was a story about Jon Gruden’s return to the Oakland Raiders, and one about Sean Payton’s second act with the New Orleans Saints.And three of them wrote about how surprising Patrick Mahomes has been for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018.Kalyn Kahler said that because Mahomes had been raw coming out of Texas Tech Mitchell Schwartz Jersey , she expected him to have growing pains — but he hasn’t yet looked like a first-season starter.In preseason, Kahler picked the Minnesota Vikings to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl LIII — and predicted that Sam Darnold would be named Offensive Rookie Of The Year.Bette Marston said that after two MMQB writers picked the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl in preseason, she asked to have Mahomes included in the graphic used in the story “almost as a joke.”But she’s on board now.Copy that, Bette.But why do you hate Sammy Watkins?Jonathan Jones told about when the visited Chiefs training camp in St. Joseph last summer, and saw Mahomes making a lot of mistakes.So at least now we finally know who was counting up all of Mahomes’ interceptions in camp!So that’s three of 13 MMQB writers who think Mahomes is the most surprising thing in the NFL this season.We know of three who weren’t surprised.Back in preseason, Robert Klemko and Mitch Goldich were the writers who picked the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl.Another one — Conor Orr — picked the Chiefs to lose to the Carolina Panthers in February.
