Week 14 UFB Rankings

What is this? Well, in addition to our own Power Rankings, we are going to post this top 15 called the Ultimate Football Rankings (UFB Rankings). It’s compiled of a bunch of rankings of a bunch of good sites, including ours (see bottom) and adds a contrast to our regular Power Rankings. More sites will be added as the weeks go on. Views held in write ups do not necessarily represent the views of footballfanspot.com.

(1) 1. Green Bay Packers – (5) 12 – 0 next at Kansas City Chiefs

Like expected, they are still undefeated. The Packers defense was also very predictable, once again doing exactly what had to be done to win the game. This week will be a very easy week, a chance for them to cruise and rest up for the Bears. We will be back here next week with a 13 – 0 Packers team.

(2) 2. New Orleans Saints – 9 – 3 next at Tennessee Titans

Few facts about the Saints. They will score no matter what you do (lowest of the season is 21) but they will also let you score some. You cannot stop Drew Brees and Co. completely but you can slow them down and score a lot on them as the Packers did. The Saints have two games lead over the Falcons with a game against the Falcons in week 16. The Saints will be most dangerous opponent facing the Packers come playoff.

(5) 3. Pittsburgh Steelers – 9 – 3 next vs Cleveland Browns

The Steelers were very impressive in their win over the Bengals. A 35-7 beat down on a supposive divisional rival and a Bengals team that is still in the playoff picture as of this week. The Steelers are getting their engines warmed up and are about to take it to a whole new level. Taking the last 7 of 8 and has a schedule that looks very winnable.

(4) 4. Baltimore Ravens – 9 – 3 next vs Indianapolis Colts

Another strong performance by the Ravens that struggled with consistency early season. As elites of the NFL do, the Ravens beat the Browns soundly despite missing Ray Lewis, the heart of the defense. Ray Rice had a field day, rushing for 204 yards while scoring once on the ground. The Ravens have good chance of winning the AFC North with four games remaining against the Colts, the Chargers, the Browns and the Bengals.

(3) 5. New England Patriots – 9 – 3 next at Washington Redskins

Even the Colts lit up the Pats’ secondary, eventually. We can’t believe the Patriots didn’t cover the 20 last week. They were up 31-3, and the Colts were showing no signs of life. Why didn’t you run up the score like you usually do, Belichick!? Even though they won, we were not impressed and this is why they still dropped a couple spots.

(6) 6. San Francisco 49ers – 10 – 2 next at Arizona Cardinals

Wow, maybe we should get on the 49ers bandwagon. In the NFL, it is EXTREMELY hard to shut out anyone. But the 49ers managed to shutout the Rams. I mean sure it’s the Rams but still it is very impressive. The game against the Steelers in week 15 will be a key match-up for the 49ers as they can prove themselves and the league that they are ready to win the championship.

(9) 7. Houston Texans – 9 – 3 next at Cincinnati Bengals

We were very impressed to see a TJ Yates led Houston Texan team beat Matty Ice and the Atlanta Falcons. With Matt Schaub and Matt Lienartt out, the rest of the team stepped up and outlasted the Falcons 17-10. Lets see how they move forward without Andre Johnson again for a couple weeks. Having a tough match-up this week, we are watching to see how they do!!!

(NR) 8. Denver Broncos – 7 – 5 next vs Chicago Bears

The UFB as a whole has finally decided to believe in Tebow. Not only in him, but in a team that has stepped up and is playing harder with Tebow at the QB position. It doesn’t matter who and how, but more on the fact they are winning!!! Now in charge of the AFC West and as of now in the playoffs, lets see how they pull it off again this week.

(7) 9. Atlanta Falcons – 7 – 5 next at Carolina Panthers

We don’t know if the Falcons have enough to make the playoff, especially with the game against the Panthers and the Saints left in their schedule. However, they have fixed multiple problems that have been dogged them such as inconsistency, underachieving to name a few. Even if they don’t make the playoff, this season would be valuable for Matt Ryan and the Co.

(14) 10. New York Jets – 7 – 5 next vs Kansas City Chiefs

Sanchez buries Redskins late. Rex Ryan knows they have to win out to make playoffs. Jets are starting to show us they are the team we thought they were. But key word was, starting. They have a tough match-up against an up and down Chiefs team this week, but the Jets should fly high and continue their bid for a wildcard spot.

(8) 11. Dallas Cowboys – 7 – 5 next vs New York Giants

A lot of confusion on what was going on with the coaching staff, but clock management and the use of a late timeout could of possibly cost them their game last weeks game against the Cardinals. Still only one game up on the Giants and playing them this week. Either they work on separating themselves or get themselves into a dog fight they really don’t want to be in.

(NR) 12. Tennessee Titans – 7 – 5 next vs New Orleans Saints

Chris Johnson has finally warmed up, actually he has gotten hot. The Titans have been winning behind the production of Johnson. With the division with in reach due to the injuries in Houston, the Titans are playing great ball and are trying to make a strong run.

(11) 13. Detroit Lions – 7 – 5 next vs Minnesota Vikings

Week after week this team has been slipping farther and farther. This team keeps showing us why they are not going to be in the top 15 by the final week. A team that went 5 – 0 in the first 5 weeks and then 2 – 5 the next 7 weeks are simply just falling apart. With a very winnable game this week, lets see if they can show maturity or will they finish coming apart.

(10) 14. Cincinnati Bengals – 7 – 5 next vs Houston Texans

Took a tough beat down from the Steelers. It was probably the best thing to happen to this young team. Still in the playoff hunt, now this team can move forward and play even better ball.

(15) 15. New York Giants – 6 – 6 next at Dallas Cowboys

We kind of get the feeling that the Giants’ close loss to the Packers could propel them to a strong run like they had in 2007 when they battled the Patriots to the very end in Week 17. Or maybe they’ll fold.
