NFL Title Rankings Week 1, 2024 Season

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.

This is Week 1 of the NFL Title Rankings of the 2024 season. See here for last week’s rankings.

The Chiefs beat the Ravens 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 Bengals will have a chance to take the title belt on Sunday.

With the Commanders losing to the Bucs, the Commanders will remain last place until their first win of the 2024 season. The Commanders will play the Giants Sunday to move out from last.

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.
