The NFL standings based on Pete Prisco's Overall GPA

I was going through Pete Prisco's week 5 grades and noticed how crazy they were. So, I wanted to create a list of how the teams should be ranked based on the grades he has given them for their performances. And by ranked, I mean their standings in the NFL. This is an oddity. However, since the Jets/Vikings game is not decided, I will not include them. I will also not include those on bye weeks this week (I'm only looking at his week 5 GPAs). Okay, here we go:

1. Chiefs - GPA 3.10 - Actual Record 3-1

2. Falcons - 2.86 - 4-1

3. Texans - 2.74 - 3-2

4. Redskins - 2.74 - 3-2

5. Titans - 2.68 - 3-2

6. Ravens - 2.54 -4-1

7. Giants - 2.54 - 3-2

9. Bucs - 2.50 - 3-1

9. Colts - 2.48 - 3-2

10. Lions - 2.42 - 1-4

11. Rams - 2.40 - 2-3

12. Eagles - 2.40 - 3-2

13. Bears - 2.34 - 4-1 (Tied Best in NFC)

14. Chargers - 2.20 - 2-3

15. Jags - 2.14 - 3-2

16. Browns - 2.08 - 1-4

17. Broncos - 2.06 - 2-3

18. Cowboys - 1.93 - 1-3

19. Bengals - 1.88 - 2-3

20. Packers - 1.86 - 3-2

21. Saints - 1.82 - 3-2

22. Raiders - 1.80 - 2-3

23. 49ers - 1.80 - 0-5

24. Cardinals 1.66 - 3-2

25. Panthers - 1.22 -0-5

26. Bills - 1.00 - 0-5

Okay, I have a few questions:

1) How are the 1-4 Lions a top 10 team in GPA?

2) How are the Cardinals the third worst team, yet they have a winning record?

3) How are the Rams better than the Bears?

4) If this is based on expectations, shouldn't the Bears be near the top as they have the best Record in the NFL and have beaten two Superbowl Favorites?

I guess I'm just confused...
