Week 13 NFC Power Rankings
1. Dallas Cowboys 10-1 at Minnesota
The two rookies and the best o-line in football are leading the way for the Cowboys and are looking like the favorites to win the Super Bowl.
2. New York Giants 8-3 at Pittsburgh
The only team to beat the Cowboys are the Giants and their defense continues to improve and will be tested this week.
3. Atlanta Falcons 7-4 vs Kansas City
At 7-4 the Falcons are still in the lead in the division and have seemed to put away the thought of a second half collapse. Matt Ryan is a MVP candidate and has his team in position get the second seed in the NFC playoffs.
4. Detroit Lions 7-4 at New Orleans
Nobody seen the Lions winning the NFC North and yes injuries to both the Packers and Vikings helped but Matt Stafford is playing lights out and the defense keeps them in every game.
5. Seattle Seahawks 7-3-1 vs Carolina
The team needs to shake off the loss to the Buccs and move on. They were playing well and were amongst the best teams in the league but after that offensive performance they have to go back to the drawing board.
6. Washington DC 6-4-1 at Arizona
No harm losing on the road against the best team in football and on Thanksgiving Day. They are still in playoff contention and have to keep winning because teams are coming.
7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-5 at San Diego
After back to back wins against teams in contention at home they need to win on the road against a good team in San Diego to be taken seriously.
8. New Orleans 5-6 vs Detroit
What a performance by the Saints offense against one of the league's best defense. They have a championship offense and Drew Brees continues his dominance but the defense is still a work in progress.
9. Green Bay Packers 5-6 vs Houston
The win Monday night was much needed and now the Packers get to return home against a team that struggles on the road. Aaron Rodgers played like himself and the defense found its much needed pass rush.
10. Philadelphia Eagles 5-6 at Cincinnati
The next step for this team is winning winnable games at home. They are still in the wild card hunt and need to be more consistent on offense.
11. Minnesota Vikings 6-5 vs Dallas
Sam Bradford is still Sam Bradford and it's his inability to make plays consistently that's holding this team back. The defense is great and are Super Bowl caliber.
12. Carolina Panthers 4-7 at Seattle
Their games always seem to come down to one play and it goes either one way or the other. Unfortunately it has gone the other way more than not.
13. Arizona Cardinals 4-6-1 vs Washington
The Cardinals have had a favorable schedule so to be out of the playoff picture after making the NFC Championship game and making additions is extremely disappointing.
14. Los Angles Rams 4-7 at New England
Jared Goff is finally playing and the offense looks a little better but a changed is needed on the sideline.
15. Chicago Bears 2-9 vs San Francisco
Where does this franchise go from here because they seem to have some talent.
16. San Francisco 1-10 at Chicago
The first 10 game losing streak in franchise history should be enough to get the coach fired and start the hunt in searching for the replacement.
