N8Dogg's Week 13 Power Rankings

The Elite:
1. New England(11-0)
2. Dallas(10-1)
3. Green Bay(10-1)
4. Indianapolis(9-2)
5. Jacksonville(8-3)
6. Pittsburgh(8-3)
7. Tampa Bay(7-4)
8. Cleveland(7-4)
9. Seattle(7-4)
10. San Diego(6-5)
No surprises here. Unless you're a Giants fan. But they took a pretty bad beating by Minnesota('s pass defense). Actually I didn't know they had one of those. San Diego leads their division, so they get the upper hand here in deserving the top 10. And even though the Cowboys are ahead of the Packers, don't expect me not to pick the Packers in the game tonight!

The Hopefuls:
11. New York Giants(7-4)
12. Tennessee(6-5)
13. Minnesota(5-6)
14. Detroit(6-5)
15. Philadelphia(5-6)
16. New Orleans(5-6)
17. Chicago(5-6)
18. Denver(5-6)
19. Washington(5-6)
20. Arizona(5-6)
21. Houston(5-6)
22. Cincinnati(4-7)
If you're a Lions fan thinking "Minnesota?", look at their remaining strengths of schedule. Peterson should be coming back for the Vikes and that means possibly finishing second in the division. They'll have to win Sunday first, though. And for Denver, everybody has been saying it all week, and you were so dumb it's worth repeating. WHY WOULD YOU KICK TO DEVIN HESTER? It's not like your kicker is Josh Brown. And for Cincy being up over Buffalo, Buffalo has lost 2 straight and their schedule is looking grim. Cincy somehow beat Tennessee last week and have yet to face St. Louis, San Fran, and Miami. So there are blue skies out there Bengals fans!

The Wannabes:
23. Buffalo(5-6)
24. Kansas City(4-7)
25. Carolina(4-7)
26. Baltimore(4-7)
27. Oakland(3-8)
28. Atlanta(3-8)
29. San Francisco(3-8)
30. NY Jets(2-9)
31. St. Louis(2-9)
32. Miami(0-11)
Again, no surprises. These teams are pitiful. Miami though, man. No wins, and in the same division as the team with no losses. Maybe they can squeak by the Jets this week. But even so, they'll have to pull some major upsets to finish with anything over a .100 win percentage.
