Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts: 2013 Week 13 NFL Power Rankings (#13)
Last week: 8 (-5) Record: 7-4 What the hell happened to the Colts? The obvious answer is to blame it on Reggie Wayne’s absence and that would have some basis. Wayne tore his ACL in the Denver game before the bye and in the 4 games since, Andrew Luck has…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers: 2013 Week 13 NFL Power Rankings (#14)
Last week: 21 (+7) Record: 5-7 Pittsburgh is ahead of Baltimore despite their loss in Baltimore. That’s because the Ravens/Steelers Thanksgiving game was a must win for just Baltimore. Pittsburgh beat Baltimore in Pittsburgh earlier this year and a win in Baltimore would have given them the tiebreaker. Pittsburgh is…

Last week: 15 (+0) Record: 6-6 Baltimore won a must win over Pittsburgh this week, but it was a little close for comfort for a Baltimore team whose strength is home dominance. They have just 2 home games the rest of the way as this week’s game against Minnesota in…

Last week: 19 (+3) Record: 5-6 You could argue the Chargers have a better offense this year than the Broncos. They are moving the chains at an 82% rate, as opposed to 81% for the Broncos, who now rank 3rd behind San Diego and New Orleans. Philip Rivers is having…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears: 2013 Week 13 NFL Power Rankings (#17)
Last week: 17 (-5) Record: 6-5 Injuries, age, and the departure of defensive coaches Lovie Smith and Rod Marinelli have reduced the Bears’ once proud defense to one of the worst in the NFL. If they can’t force a takeaway, they generally can’t keep their opponents from scoring, as they…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans: 2013 Week 13 NFL Power Rankings (#18)
Last week: 18 (+0) Record: 5-6 The Titans haven’t really missed Jake Locker. He wasn’t the reason why they were winning and Ryan Fitzpatrick is one of the best backups in the NFL. They still have a very solid defense led by Jurrell Casey, Alterraun Verner, two Pro-Bowl caliber players,…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys: 2013 Week 13 NFL Power Rankings (#19)
Last week: 17 (-2) Record: 7-5 The Cowboys may be 7-5, but they have one of the worst defenses in the NFL and their schedule gets much tougher from here on out. Their 7 wins have come against teams with a combined 28-49-1 record and their final 4 games send…

Last week: 26 (+5) Record: 5-6 The Rams have won their last 2 games by 21+ to put them at 5-6, but they’re not as good as their record. The way they’re winning is unsustainable. Since 1989, there have been 25 instances of a team winning by 17 or more…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 2013 Week 13 NFL Power Rankings (#22)
Last week: 29 (+7) Record: 3-8 It’s very clear now that the Buccaneers are better than their 0-8 start would have suggested. They have two All-Pro caliber players in Darrelle Revis and Gerald McCoy and another borderline All-Pro in Lavonte David, so, ever since Mike Glennon took over under center,…
