NFL Power Rankings Week 3: Updated Records, 2015-16 Super Bowl Odds

Pigs aren't flying, but the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Oakland Raiders all secured wins in a wild Week 2.

It's pretty much the same thing, right?

Unfortunately for the lovable (mostly) losers, the onset of Week 3 means more power rankings and they don't move much despite marks in the win column. One week of wins doesn't erase years of issues, folks.

What the arrival of Week 3 rankings does do, though, is crown a new last-place resident. Below, let's dish on Week 3 rankings and take a look at how Las Vegas feels about every team's Super Bowl chances.

Odds Breakdown

Value Buy of the Week: Pittsburgh Steelers (33-1)

It seems folks were ready to write off the Pittsburgh Steelers after a season-opening loss to New England despite the fact it was common knowledge the team would be without Le'Veon Bell and Martavis Bryant.

Ben Roethlisberger and Co. laughed in the face of both notions in Week 2, returning home and bulldozing the 49ers in 43-18 fashion behind a trio of touchdowns from Big Ben and veteran back DeAngelo Williams.

See why the Steelers look good at these odds, not to mention formidable with Bell and Bryant on the way back?

Keeping an iffy 49ers offense in check might not be the most impressive thing in the world. It's a step in the right direction for a rebuilding unit, though. The offense, as Neal Coolong of DKonPittsburghSports detailed, will do nothing short of improve when key players return:

The note includes details on upcoming opponents, which points to Las Vegas once again altering these odds to better protect the house.

Before oddsmakers can do so, bettors might want to jump all over this one.

Just Forget It: New Orleans Saints (50-1)

Say hello to the new cellar-dweller.

Age, money and transactions have slammed the window shut on the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl chances. The defense continues to look like a mess and Drew Brees can no longer do it on his own, especially after an offseason in which the front office gave away proven weapons such as Jimmy Graham and Kenny Stills.

At first things didn't look so bad. A Week 1 loss in Arizona didn't spell the end of the world given the strength of the Cardinals this year. Week 2 was a catastrophe, though, as the Saints couldn't get it done at home, losing to the Buccaneers 26-19.

Folks will recall the waves the Buccaneers made in Week 1—by allowing Tennessee rookie Marcus Mariota to toss four touchdown passes. This past Sunday, Brees suffered four sacks, threw a pick and even admitted he dinged his shoulder in the process.

"Maybe on a few throws," Brees said, according to Katherine Terrell of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "I want to say a few balls downfield didn't come out very well."

In other words, the Saints have transformed from a viable sleeper in a somewhat up-for-grabs NFC South into a must-avoid choice.

The Saints have bottomed out, getting embarrassed at home by a rookie quarterback while getting next to nothing from the offense as a whole led by a 36-year-old quarterback who might have a slight issue impacting his play from here on out. 

Risk to Consider: New York Giants (66-1)

Don't scoff—this has as much to do with the woeful NFC East as it does the play of the New York Giants.

The Giants are off to an 0-2 start, yes. But bettors had better be able to forgive and look at the bright side. Week 1 was a 27-26 loss in Dallas. Week 2 was a four-point loss to Atlanta. Both of those teams figure to compete for the NFC crown this year, so close losses aren't the end of the world.

Now look around the rest of the division. Washington is Washington (let's not blow up over beating St. Louis, folks). The vaunted Chip Kelly offense in Philadelphia has scored just 34 points over two games and sits in a 0-2 hole. Dallas sits at 2-0 but without Dez Bryant and Tony Romo, who broke his clavicle this weekend and goes to short-term injured reserve, per ESPN's Ed Werder—making Brandon Weeden the starter.

The NFC East looks wide open. For Eli Manning, who threw two scores with no picks in the loss to the Falcons, the two contests to date have provided encouragement, per the team's Twitter account:

Bettors should feel just as enthusiastic moving forward. The payout here looks good and so does the division.

If the Giants can go on a run and slip into the playoffs, bettors would look back on this week and smile. Anything can happen for a team in the postseason. For the Giants, the avenue to getting there looks strong.
