Week 13 NFL Power Rankings, Who's #1?Team by team football ranks
Power rankings don't mean a whole lot at the start of the year. But with the playoffs approaching, they now start to mean something.
Week 13 is a chance for the Titans to get an easy win and for the Cowboys to get back in the mix for a good playoff spot with Thanksgiving games against easy opponents. Here are the rankings: Week 13 NFL Power Rankings: Historically Bad Teams 32. Detroit Lions- Beating Tennessee would literally be a miracle. Daunte Culpepper is predictably not in sync with his wide receivers right now and 0-16 looks more and more likely. 31. Kansas City Chiefs- The net point difference is three less than Cincinnati, sometimes it's the small things that separate teams that are this bad. 30. Cincinnati Bengals- No Carson Palmer means no chance. 29. St. Louis Rams- A whopping 197-point differential on the year beats the Lions by more than 40 points. Ouch. Week 13 NFL Power Rankings: Just plain bad 28. Oakland Raiders- McFadden had a breakout game but Al Davis has made some curious decisions in recent years leading fans to wonder if things will ever be good again under him. 27. San Francisco 49ers- Mike Martz experiment is basically a failed one. 26. Seattle Seahawks- Tough for year Holmgren, an underrated coach. Week 13 NFL Power Rankings: Mediocrity Ahoy! 25. Houston Texans- Steve Slaton was a good find this year. 24. Cleveland Browns- Brady Quinn is not the savior after all, at least not yet. 23. Jacksonville Jaguars- Things have gone south in a hurry for Jack Del Rio's team. 22. San Diego Chargers- Colts loss a crippling blow. Week 13 NFL Power Rankings: The Average 21. Philadelphia Eagles- McNabb benching could be season's death knell. 20. Green Bay Packers- Aaron Rodgers still a solid QB considering it's his first year. 19. Miami Dolphins- Exceeding expectations but not quite there yet. 18. Chicago Bears- First place in an awfully poor NFC North. 17. Minnesota Vikings- Got talent, where's the coaching and QB play? 16. Buffalo Bills- Lee Evans sure is fun to watch. 15. Denver Broncos- Improving but still vulnerable on defense. 14. Washington Redskins- Average team without Portis and not much better with him. Week 13 NFL Power Rankings: Contenders? 13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- With Jeff Garcia at QB they'll get a playoff spot but probably won't go too far. 12. Atlanta Falcons- Building a great foundation for the future. 11. New Orleans Saints- Fun to watch but can they win shootouts in the playoffs? 10. Arizona Cardinals- Kurt Warner for MVP!? Maybe not but he's had a great year. 9. Dallas Cowboys- Could climb fast with Romo back. 8. Baltimore Ravens- Ed Reed is a phenomenal player, period. 7. Indianapolis Colts- A bit shakier than they appear at first sight...but still a contender with Manning at the helm. 6. Pittsburgh Steelers- Offensive line is uncharacteristically shaky.... 5. New England Patriots- Trade Tom Brady! Okay that's a bad idea but Cassel is catching fire. 4. Carolina Panthers- DeAngelo Williams is a home run threat. 3. New York Jets- Favre could lead them to division title. 2. Tennessee Titans- Easy win vs. Lions this week. 1. New York Giants- A complete and superior team in an NFL that is full of parity. Back-to-back seems like a good possibility at this point.
