Rankings
Three ladders: 2810 buckets (BUC) in listed board order, Elo after Monday night, and season +/- (PF−PA Diff through Week 2). Read them as model commentary — not a tip sheet and not personalized betting advice.
After Week 2 (incl. MNF) · post Round 2 · 23 Sep 2026 (Adelaide). Entertainment ladders only. Ladders are entertainment. Models can be wrong. No odds. No bookmaker links.
BUC
2810 Bucket Rankings
Five desk buckets, B1 through B5. Board notes that say B5 or cellar point here. Order inside a bucket is SlateScout Round Table order — not Elo-sorted, and not a 1–n poll inside the bucket.

ELO
Elo Rankings
The 2810 Elo ladder after Monday night. A Week 2 score moves a rating; it does not automatically climb a side up the stack. Entertainment commentary — not a probability sold as a sure thing.

+/−
+/- Rankings
Season PF−PA Diff through Week 2, including Monday night. Points for minus points against, with the scoreboard beside each side. Two games is a snapshot. A Diff wall in a matchup note is the gap on this ladder, not a wager instruction.

How the board uses this
- B5 / cellar is the bottom 2810 bucket. MIA and ATL sit there on this post–Round 2 board. Inside a bucket, listed order stays; we do not Elo-sort the table.
- Elo hierarchy leads with SEA, BUF, SF, and MIN after Monday night. A 2–0 record does not by itself place a side in B1.
- Diff wall is season PF−PA through Week 2. SF at +42 versus ATL at -38 is the spread of this snapshot — two games, not a 17-week sample.
DNB holds
Small badges mark DNB sides on the post–Round 2 board. CHI, DAL, and CLE carry DNB. NYG carries H2H. The model does not post a lean. Not advice.
- CHIDNBDNB on the post–Round 2 board.
- DALDNBDNB on the post–Round 2 board.
- NYGH2H DNBH2H DNB on the post–Round 2 board.
- CLEDNBDNB on the post–Round 2 board.
What this is not
Not a power poll vote. Not a tout card. NFL betting analytics here means model commentary for entertainment — we do not tell anyone how to bet. The live Week 2 board is on the NFL hub. Player props are on the Props deep dive. The Super Bowl page is the published piece. This B1 row is bucket context, not that matchup call.
