Week 14 NFL Power Rankings

32. Panthers - I wonder why Jimmy Clausen dropped all the way in the draft?

31. Lions - Although Drew Stanton didn't look bad, they can easily lose their next four games (GB, TB, MIA, MIN).

30. Bengals - Carson Palmer and Marvin Lewis both looked washed up. Change is coming.

29. Bills - So much for being competitive.

28. Broncos - At least the interim coach starts against the Cardinals next week.

27. Cardinals - At least they play the Broncos next week.

26. 49ers - When is Mike Singletary going to realize that Alex smith sucks?

25. Titans - Where'd the offense go?

24. Browns - Jake Delhomme is doing his best to keep up with the Bengals.

23. Texans - This was going to be their year, until they looked at the secondary.

22. Cowboys - At least they're finally playing with heart.

21. Redskins - Dear Shanahan, there is an opening available.

20. Vikings - At least Frazier remembers he has the best running back on his team.

19. Seahawks - Although 6-6, This team has too many issues to play in January.

18. Dolphins - Although 6-6 This team has too many issues to play in January.

17. Colts - Although 6-6 This team has too many issues to play in January.

16. Chargers - Time is ticking on Norv Turners tenure.

15. Raiders - A balanced run game really makes this team tough to beat.

14. Rams - Playing solid, well balanced football.

13. Jaguars - Playing well, but don't have enough of a pass rush, or pass offense, to win in January.

12. Bucs - 2nd heartbreaking loss to Atlanta this season. Will it be backbreaking?

11. Chiefs - Todd Haley should give Josh McDaniels a nice gift for Christmas. McDaniels gift-wrapped that last victory for them by punting on 4th down with 3 mins remaining.

10. Ravens - I forgot why Cam Cameron wasn't a head coach until that boneheaded playcall.

9. Eagles - Where would this team be without Mike Vick?

8. Giants - Who needs receivers?

7. Packers - Poised to make a nice winter run.

6. Bears - Almost choked. Was it a trap-game? Or are they not as good as advertised?

5. Jets - Ouch.

4. Saints - Might not be the prettiest of wins, but still getting it done.

3. Steelers - What a gutsy performance by Big Ben on Sunday.

2. Falcons - Still need to do a better job on the road.

1. Patriots - Talk about dominance. Talk about a team coming together at the right time.

Week 13 Predictions

Yeah. We missed week 12. We needed to regain focus here. Also, those thursday games come up quick. Without further adeau.

EAGLES (-8) over Texans

Vick will have a rediculous day against that secondary.

Bills (+5.5) over VIKINGS

It'll be a close game. Vikings might even win. Spreads too much.

Packers (-9.5) over 49ers

Sans Gore, this Niner team is finished.

CHIEFS (-9) over Broncos

Broncos blew out Chiefs a couple weeks ago. Todd Haley remembers.

LIONS (+3) over Bears

I'm still not sold on the Bears. And that spread is too low. Suspiciously low.

DOLPHINS (-4.5) over Browns

Browns starting to look more like...the Browns

Redskins (-7) over GIANTS

I have a feeling this is a trap game for the Giants.

TITANS over Jaguars

If Collins starts, if not Jags.

Raiders (+13) over CHARGERS

Spreads too high. Chargers probably will win.

CARDINALS (+3.5) over Rams

Derek Anderson takes this game seriously.

Cowboys (+5) over COLTS

Looks like Manning has come down with a case of the Delhomme's.

SEAHAWKS (-6) over Panthers

BUCCANEERS (+3) over Falcons

Falcons still shaky on road.

RAVENS (-3) over Steelers

Don't trust Big Ben's injury.

PATS (-3.5) over Jets

They're the better team.
