NFL Power Rankings: Week 15

#+/-TeamComment
1Tennessee TitansThe Titans can thank my vote for rookie of the year (Chris Johnson) for their rushing dominance.
2New YorkGiants
The Giants are walking in the footsteps of last years Dallas Cowboys. They better clean up there act before Sunday, or the Cowboys could upset them in Texas Stadium.

3Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers did not beat the Cowboys on Sunday. The Steelers beat Tony Romo.

4Carolina PanthersWatching this team on Monday Night Football made me a believer. This team could creep into the number one playoff seed.
5+2Baltimore RavensThe Ravens man-handled the Redskins. This was not the Redskins from mid-season. The Ravens are still impressive.
6Indianapolis ColtsThe Colts may be the most dangerous playoff team in the AFC. I would never sleep on number 18 on the road to the playoffs.
7-2Dallas Cowboys
I’m still sick from the loss to the Steelers, but more good came from this game than we realize. Besides the pick six at the end of the game, our D outplayed the Steelers top ranked D. If our Offense and Defense can click down the stretch, we can beat anyone.

8+4Tampa Bay BuccaneersIt’s kind of funny, I never really respected the Buccaneers this entire season… until now. It’s strange that I realized how good this team is after they lost to the Panthers. But this team can be a force in the playoffs.
9Atlanta FalconsThe Falcons chose a bad time to lose. They still played a hell of a game, but the Saints played a little bit better. This team is still very alive in the playoff hunt.
10+3Arizona CardinalsThe Cardinals are looking to jump the future NFC North leaders.
11-1Philadelphia Eagles
If the Eagles would have beaten the Bengals, I would bet on them to get into the playoffs. It’s still possible, but they will need help from a few other teams.

12+2Miami DolphinsI think that the Jets are more complete, but the Dolphins may be more dangerous.
13-5New York JetsThe Jets need to win out to fight off the Dolphins and Patriots.
14-3New England Patriots
I think the Patriots chances were destroyed when Tedy Bruschi got carted off the field. We’ll see.

15+4New Orleans SaintsReggie Bush gives this team a chance to win out. With the entire division still on each others schedule, this Saints are still alive.
16Minnesota VikingsThe Vikings may need to win out to keep the Bears out of their playoff spot.
17+1Denver BroncosDenver squeaked by the Chiefs, but a win is a win and this team is in control of there own fate.
18-3Chicago Bears
The Bears will be on the Vikings’ tail until the final tick of the season.
19-2Washington RedskinsSome one shut Clinton Portis up, please. He might have spent his last year in burgundy and gold.

20San Diego ChargersThe Chargers should play L.T. in the preseason next year. Maybe he’ll wake up before week 13.
21Houston TexansIf the Texans were playing like this a few weeks ago, they would have a good shot at a playoff spot.
22+1Buffalo BillsThe Bills crumbled. J.P. Losman led the team in rushing. Are you kidding me?

23+1San Fransisco 49ersThe 49ers are like the Texans… Getting hot too late.
24-2Green Bay Packers
After hammering the Bears the Packers drop three in a row… Damn.

25+5Cleveland BrownsThe Browns tried to improve their defense in the offseason, but somehow it got worse. And then the offense started to sputter and you’re left with a bad team again.
26-1Seattle SeahawksThe Seahawks are out off my bottom five. They aren’t winning games, but they are trying to at least.
27Kansas City ChiefsThe Chiefs had a shot at winning that game.
28-2Jacksonville JaguarsThe Jaguars are as big of a disappointment as the Chargers.
29Oakland RaidersThe Raiders beat 2 division leaders and the Chiefs. If I were them I would try to lose out and snatch Crabtree from Texas Tech.
30-2Detroit LionsThis team may not have a win, but they have more heart than the two teams I ranked below them.
31St. Louis Rams
Two fluke wins over the Cowboys and Redskins can’t mask the terribleness that this team illuminates.

32Cincinnati BengalsThank you for tying with the Eagles.
