NFL Power Rankings - Week 17
The playoff teams are shaking out as we go into the last week of the season, no surprise who will be in the top spots.
1. Colts | 14-1 | Sure they lost, but they are still the scariest team to play |
2. Chargers | 12-3 | The Chargers are on fire and I considered putting them #1 |
3. Saints |
13-2 |
I think the Saints peaked too early |
4. Cowboys |
10-5 |
They can secure the #2 seed with a win and some help. December troubles? |
5. Vikings |
11-4 |
I heard Childress was getting an additional 10 years added onto his contract. Too soon? |
6. Eagles | 11-4 |
With all the Vikings and Saints talk the Eagles are flying under the radar. They are getting Westbrook back just at the right time |
7. Packers | 10-5 | If they can protect Rodgers they can WIN the Super Bowl. Yes, you read that right |
8. Patriots |
10-5 |
Another team no one is talking about, I don't think anyone wants to play them in the playoffs |
9. Cardinals |
10-5 | If they can continue to run, they could be Super Bowl bound |
10. Bengals | 10-5 | I would be surprised if the starters play more than a quarter this week. |
11. Ravens |
8-7 |
The normally sure handed Derrick Mason cost them the playoffs last week. I think he'll redeem himself Sunday |
12. Broncos |
8-7 |
2-7 in their last 9 games, at least Kansas City is coming to town |
13. Jets |
8-7 |
Rex Ryan will never get a better christmas present than he did last week. |
14. Steelers | 8-7 |
Hey Lamar Woodley, if you hadn't lost to the Chiefs, Browns and Raiders you wouldn't need help to get in the playoffs. |
15. Dolphins |
7-8 |
If they get a #1 WR they will be scary next year, Chad Henne has progressed well this season |
16. Texans |
8-7 | Andre Johnson is good. Really good. Too bad it seems like no one else cares. |
17. Jaguars |
7-8 |
I hate to say it but they need to draft Tebow to get some fans in the stadium. |
18. Falcons | 8-7 |
Injuries hurt a lot this year, but all the extra game film on Matt Ryan didn't help them either |
19. Giants |
8-7 |
What an embarassing performance last week. They really miss Steve Spagnulo |
20. Titans |
7-8 |
Chris Johnson might run the ball 50 times if that's what it takes to get him to 2,000 yards |
21. 49ers |
7-8 |
Run the ball with Frank Gore if you want a chance to win. |
22. Panthers |
7-8 |
Is there a better 2 headed monster in the league? I don't think it's even close right now. |
23. Bears |
6-9 |
The Bears have a lot of good young receivers. As a Vikings fan, that scares me. |
24. Bills |
5-10 |
What happened to Marshawn Lynch? |
25. Redskins |
4-11 |
All I can think about is the fake field goal against the Giants. |
26. Bucs |
3-12 |
Cadillac Williams looks like he's back and the Bucs are playing inspired |
27. Raiders |
5-10 |
Tom Cable is almost guaranteed to be fired, but I think he did a good job with the terrible team he had |
28. Chiefs |
3-12 |
How many more wins would they have if they started Jamaal Charles from week 1? |
29. Browns | 4-11 |
Jerome Harrison has 71 carries the past 2 weeks |
30. Seahawks |
5-10 |
Ignore the record, the Seahawks couldn't beat the Rams right now |
31. Lions | 2-13 | With some veteran leadership this team could win 6 games next year |
32. Rams | 1-14 | With the number 1 pick in the NFL draft, the St. Louis Rams select - Ndamukong Sub, Nebraska |
