NFL Power Rankings (Week 17)

I obviously don't have a formula for this, but it's some kind off half-assed "strength of schedule" meets "who would win on a neutral field?" discussion.



32. St. Louis Rams (1-15)
31. Detroit Lions (2-14): I kinda wish Detroit would have beaten the Rams this season. I mean, how fucking sad are the Detroit Lions that the Rams' only win of the year came against the team that went 0-16 last year? Fucking Detroit...
30. Washington Redskins (4-12): Mike Shanahan is fucked.
29. Kansas City Chiefs (4-12)
28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-13)
27. Seattle Seahawks (5-11)
26. Oakland Raiders (5-11)
25. Buffalo Bills (6-10)
24. Jacksonville Jaguars (7-9)
23. Cleveland Browns (5-11): Holmgren will get these guys back in the playoffs within the next three years.
22. Chicago Bears (7-9)
21. New York Giants (8-8): Sorry, but you get outscored 85-16 in the last two games, you're falling this far. And for the record: the Giants went 3-7 AFTER getting their asses handed to them by the Saints.



20. Denver Broncos (8-8)
19. Miami Dolphins (7-9)
18. San Francisco 49ers (8-8)
17. Carolina Panthers (8-8)
16. Atlanta Falcons (9-7)
15. Tennessee Titans (8-8)
14. Houston Texans (9-7)
13. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7)
12. New York Jets (9-7)
11. Baltimore Ravens (9-7)



10. New England Patriots (10-6): I would like to taste Bill Simmons' tears right now.
9. Cincinnati Bengals (10-6)
8. Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)
7. Arizona Cardinals (10-6)
6. Green Bay Packers (11-5)
5. New Orleans Saints (13-3): Yeah, they fall despite playing Mark "Metamucil" Brunell for the whole game. I don't like it, either. And I fucking hate having the Cowboys ahead of us.
4. Dallas Cowboys (11-5)
3. Minnesota Vikings (12-4): The Vikings righted the ship heading into the playoffs. FUCK.
2. Indianapolis Colts (14-2)
1. San Diego Chargers (12-4): They have more momentum heading into the postseason then any other team.
