Week 12 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 (8) 10 – 0 next vs Detroit Lions

Not an impressive win of Tampa Bay, buy a win none the less. The Packers are still undefeated and Aaron Rodgers still looking very good. Tough match up this weekend, but very winnable. Are we seeing our first 19-0 team, we are thinking so.

(2) 2. San Francisco 49ers 9 – 1 next at Baltimore Ravens

Held serve against the Cardinals. Proved they are deserving of this division, but this week they are needing to prove they deserving of being in the playoffs. First legitimate rushing threat, lets see if they are truly #1 rush defense in a battle of the Harbaugh brothers.

(3) 3. Pittsburgh Steelers 7 – 3 next at Kansas City Chiefs

Steelers being classy Steelers, just sit back, collect the wins, get into the playoffs, then turn it on. Its awful quite in Pittsburgh. . . . For now. Things are about too get ugly and it is Terrible Towel Time!!!

(4) 4. New Orleans Saints 7 – 3 next vs New York Giants

Breesus and company could easily come out of that bye of theirs firing on all cylinders healthy and well oiled. . . .They could also break down and be rusty just as easy for the most important stretch of the schedule this season.

(5) 5. New England Patriots 7 – 3 next at Philadelphia Eagles

Pats finally pulled away from the Jets with a win over the Chiefs. Now on a two-game win streak, people have quickly forgotten about that two-game losing streak. With a very complimentary second half schedule, things are looking good in New England.

(6) 6. Baltimore Ravens 7 – 3 next vs San Francisco 49ers

It was odd not seeing Ray Lewis on the field during a Ravens game. But I guess that’s a permanent reality that Baltimore fans will soon face. With a game full of officiating controversy, the Ravens were able to sneak one past Cincinnati, but big brother is in town, lets see how they do against each other.

(10) 7. Detroit Lions 7 – 3 next at Green Bay Packers

We would like to say they have finally found a running game, but it was just the Carolina Panthers lack of stopping the run. With Chicago having QB issues, Detroit has a new life in the playoff race and they will work on taking an advantage of it. Expect a good game on Thanksgiving.

(7) 8. Chicago Bears 7 – 3 next at Oakland Raiders

Cutlers injury is devastating, he’s playing the best ball of his career and now Chicago turns to Caleb Hanie to limp them into the playoffs so maybe, just maybe Cutler comes back. NFC is extremely tough tho, schedule is favorable, however we say they might just miss the playoffs. . .

(8) 9. Houston Texans 7 – 3 next at Jacksonville Jaguars

Texans use bye week to prepare for life with Matt Leinart. With Foster, Tate, and the return of Andre Johnson can they be just as productive with Leinart or is this division title run over? Oh yea, they also have the #1 overall defense, we like their chances of still winning this division.

(14) 10. Atlanta Falcons 6 – 4 next vs Minnesota Vikings

Atlanta might be the best team currently out of the playoffs right now. . . . Again that is how tough it is in the NFC. Falcons regrouped at home against Titans, allowing CJ2k only 13 yards on 12 carries. Another easy week to help keep them on pace with New Orleans.

(9) 11. New York Giants 6 – 4 next at New Orleans Saints

Their opportunity to bury the Eagles themselves and get the leg up in the division. . . . . And they still couldn’t do it…..When Philly makes a drastic late push and gives the Giants headaches they have only themselves to blame.

(11) 12. Dallas Cowboys 6 – 4 next vs Miami Dolphins
With a current 3-game win streak and a very winnable game things are looking better. Throw in the Giants 2-game losing skit and a Monday Night game against New Orleans, things now look great for Dallas. Jason Garrett has dialed-up a successful offensive game plan, but will it be enough? We will soon see.

(12) 13. Cincinnati Bengals 6 – 4 next vs Cleveland Browns

After being screwed by the officials, they have a real good chance of getting things back on track this weekend. Two tough losses will be shortly forgotten after a weekend of flexing on the Browns. Rookie connection back in full-effect.

(NR) 14. Oakland Raiders 6 – 4 next vs Chicago Bears

Still leading the division after downing the Vikes. Carson Palmer makes everyone around him better. WR’s are better and once DMC comes back. . . . Oh Boy. The Black Hole doesn’t look so dark anymore.

(13) 15. New York Jets 5 – 5 next vs Buffal Bills

Seeming that he loves to talk so much, Rex Ryan, like Tony Sparano, can now officially say. “We’ve Been Tebowed.” That guarantee is looking less and less reachable. With being on the verge of not making the playoffs, they need to start winning and BADLY!!
