LAS VEGAS -- A lot of other NFL polls are scrambling to move the New England Patriots into their No. 1 spot to replace the Dallas Cowboys, but the NFL Vegas Rankings here at Chalk have had the Patriots on top since Tom Brady returned from his suspension after Week 4.The Patriots held onto that spot with a 30-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football after closing as 6-point home favorites. In last weeks rankings, we had New England rated 5 points better than Baltimore on a neutral field, so we felt the line was correct when it was -7.5 when last weeks poll was posted. If we had known the line was going to plummet to -6, we would have made it a value play.The NFL Vegas Rankings are compiled using the average of the power ratings from Chalk handicappers Erin Rynning and yours truly, Dave Tuley, along with ESPNs Football Power Index. Theyre intended to compare the relative strength of teams if they were to meet on a neutral field and what the point spread should be for those matchups. Weve also added the FPI and Massey-Peabody rankings to our chart for comparative purposes and to show other viewpoints; while there are differences up and down the rankings, we all continue to have the Patriots ranked highest.Heres a look at the teams making the biggest moves up and down the NFL Vegas Rankings, and then well look for some Week 15 value plays using this weeks power ratings:Nike Vapormax Italia .

The Frenchman talks about Arsenals title chances, the magic of Mesut Ozil and what he used to do when things got feisty against Manchester United...When Robert Pires invites me into his home for a chat Im struck as to how similar resident and property are. Tall, elegant and probably older than they look! But then again that is no surprise with Pires. The man is still training, and holding his own with Arsenals first team at the age of 43! He chuckles when I ask him about it, explaining how Arsene Wenger invites him to train occasionally, and on international weeks like this one its useful to have a body to make up the numbers. Pires carefully explains that he does not coach at Arsenal and has not been asked to by Wenger in any capacity. However, his former boss is very happy for him to pass on his experience to the current young Gunners. Pires in action for Arsenal during his playing days That said, Pires feels this season Arsenal have more experience to mount a genuine title challenge. That is one factor, the other is Mesut Ozil. His eyes light up as he speaks of the German genius. Pires desperately tries to avoid comparisons with former players, but when pushed he cant help himself and admits he does see something of former team-mate Dennis Bergkamp in Ozil. Given Bergkamps god-like status within Arsenal folklore there is no higher praise. Pires says Ozil has always had the ability to read and play the game effortlessly at a superior level, but the key ingredient is that the Germany international has now added goals to his game. Pires wants to see him comfortably enter double figures for goals every season. When pushed further, he says Ozil is potentially the key component to Arsenal winning the title. Pires compared Mesut Ozil to Dennis Bergkamp But what about their mental strength? Pires again points to the levels of experience within the squad, which should bring character and resilience with it.dddddddddddd. On that note, he says the upcoming game at Old Trafford will be a good test for Arsenals momentum, which they have gathered since losing on the opening day against Liverpool. On the subject of Manchester United, he offers an opinion on two of his fellow countrymen. He believes Paul Pogba is a world-class player and simply needs time to settle into the pace of the Premier League, while Anthony Martials best position is up top.
