One change I would make would be the Lions being ahead of the Saints because the Lions beat them on the road recently.

I thought of that, however, you might notice that at many positions teams are behind a team they beat and ahead of a team the lost to. Often I sort of have to average it out. In the Lions case I had to give consideration to their loss against the Rams in a game where both teams looked bad.

   Though the Lions were the 7-9 team that had the strongest strength of schedule in 2015,   a solid case or better can be made that the Rams deserve to be the top ranked 7-9 team.    The Rams beat the Lions and didn't play any of the other teams that finished 7-9.   Both teams were in strong divisions.    Either way,  it sure beats the alternative of being the # 32 ranked team at the midway point of the season.
