NFL Week 15 Power Rankings

 


It was an interesting week in the NFL.  Not a lot of upsets and a couple really good games.  There was also a few blowouts.  Green Bay has taken over the number 1 spot with the Cardinals losing on Monday Night.  The biggest rise was by the Chargers and Browns with +3.  The biggest fall was by Washington and the Panthers with -3.  Not a lot of crazy changes this week.  The bottom 5 teams from last week stay put.


1. Green Bay Packers (10-3) (+1)

The Packers are just playing better football than everyone else right now.  If they get home field advantage in the playoffs, watch out.  They are 6-0 at home this year.

2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-3) (+2)

Their defense is starting to play better.  That's not good for the rest of the NFL.

3. Arizona Cardinals (10-3) (-2)

The Cardinals are road warriors this year going 7-0.  Interesting.

4. New England Patriots (9-4) (-1)

This team was on a BYE WEEK.

5. Kansas City Chiefs (9-4) (--)

The Chiefs are now +83 in point differential which marks best in their division.  The next best is the Broncos with +47.

6. Dallas Cowboys  (9-4) (--)

They are 3-0 in their division.  That bodes well as they are looking to get the division win leading to the playoffs.

7. Los Angeles Rams (9-4) (+1)

They have scored just as many points as the Cardinals this year with 366.  Their defense has given up 39 more points though.

8. Tennessee Titans (9-4) (+1)

They all can't be Jacksonville...

9. Baltimore Ravens (8-5) (-2)

They had a chance at the end even without Lamar Jackson playing a lot of the game.

10. Los Angeles Chargers (8-5) (+3)

The Chargers are going for the division win this Thursday Night against the Chiefs.

11. Indianapolis Colts (7-6) (--)

This team was on a BYE WEEK.

12. Buffalo Bills (7-6) (-2)

The Bills looked good against the Bucs but they have to win games like that against good teams especially in a tight AFC this year.

13. San Francisco 49ers (7-6) (+1)

They are looking better and better every week.  If George Kittle starts to get hot with Samuel playing this way it will be scary.

14. Cincinnati Bengals (7-6) (-2)

They have scored the most points in their division with 354.  50 more points than the second best Ravens.

15. Denver Broncos (7-6) (--)

They are 4-1 in non-conference games this year.

16. Cleveland Browns (7-6) (+3)

The Browns let the Ravens get back into the game.  They won a must win but I'm not sure if they can get into the playoffs.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-6-1) (-1)

They have only won 1 game in their last 5.

18. Miami Dolphins (6-7) (--)

This team was on a BYE WEEK.

19. Minnesota Vikings (6-7) (+2)

They are 5th in points in the NFC.  Their defense has let them down this year.

20. Washington Football Team (6-7) (-3)

All winning streaks must come to an end.

21. Las Vegas Raiders (6-7) (-1)

They would have a winning record if they didn't play the Chiefs this year.

22. Philadelphia Eagles (6-7) (--)

This team was on a BYE WEEK.

23. Atlanta Falcons (6-7) (--)

How are they 2nd in their division?  They are -108 in point differential.  The First place Buccaneers are +113 points.

24. New Orleans Saints (6-7) (+1)

The Saints are 1-2 in their division.

25. Seattle Seahawks (5-8) (+1)

They are starting to look better but too little, too late.

26. Chicago Bears (4-9) (+1)

They put up a fight against the Packers.  I'm still not sure how it was as close as it was.

27. Carolina Panthers (5-8) (-3)

They have looked lost in this 3 game skid.  They are out there playing carousal QBs.

28. New York Giants (4-9) (--)

At least they have a few high draft picks next year.

29. New York Jets (3-10) (--)

At least they have a few high draft picks next year.

30. Houston Texans (2-10) (--)

They have the worst point differential in the league with -179.

31. Detroit Lions (1-11-1) (--)

They have won just as many games as the Steelers in the last 5.

32. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-11) (--)

They have lost 5 in a row and it isn't going to get any better leading to the end of the season.
