BLG’S WEEK 14 NFL POWER RANKINGS
1 – Detroit Lions (Final Week: 1) – There is perhaps some cracks within the armor right here. The Lions regarded beatable on Thanksgiving as their harm points proceed to pile up.
2 – Buffalo Payments (LW: 2) – Josh Allen throwing a landing go to himself in a blowout primetime win positive isn’t going to harm his MVP possibilities. He’ll seemingly lock up that award if the Payments can overtake KC for the No. 1 seed.
3 – Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 4) – The Eagles have the very best protection within the NFL. Excluding rubbish time, they’re permitting simply 10.9 offensive factors per sport throughout their eight-game profitable streak. Vic Fangio was an enormous offseason acquisition.

5 – Inexperienced Bay Packers (LW: 6) – Jordan Love has turned in back-to-back video games with out turning the ball over. These are his first two video games and not using a giveaway this yr. If he’s previous these points, properly, the Packers are a fairly authentic risk.
6 – Minnesota Vikings (LW: 7) – The Vikings are 6-1 in one-score video games this season. They’ve been good however they’ve additionally been fortunate.
7 – Pittsburgh Steelers (LW: 8) – An enormous bounce again from their loss to Cleveland mixed with a Baltimore loss has the Steelers with a 1.5-game lead within the AFC North. Remaining in first place gained’t be straightforward, although, since they’ve the eighth-toughest schedule down the stretch.
8 – Baltimore Ravens (LW: 5) – It feels just like the Ravens must be within the combine for the No. 1 seed however as a substitute they’re at the moment the No. 6 seed within the AFC playoff image. If the season ended as we speak, they’d face a Pittsburgh workforce that traditionally owns Lamar Jackson within the wild card spherical.
9 – Denver Broncos (LW: 9) – With their win on Monday evening, the Broncos are in a very good place to make the playoffs for the primary time since 2015.
10 – Washington Commanders (LW: 10) – The Commanders snapped their three-game shedding streak with a blowout win in opposition to Tennessee. Maybe Jayden Daniels is getting more healthy?
11 – Los Angeles Chargers (LW: 12) – Though not a juggernaut, they’re a strong soccer workforce. Justin Herbert turning the ball over simply 3 times in 12 video games is fairly conducive to profitable.
12 – Seattle Seahawks (LW: 13) – The Seahawks have gained three straight video games to re-take a lead within the NFC West. The division continues to be large open however they could be capable of shut this out.
13 – Arizona Cardinals (LW: 11) – Jonathan Gannon pulled a Nick Sirianni from Week 2 and kicked a subject aim late within the fourth quarter to go up six factors as a substitute of going for it on fourth right down to attempt to get a landing. Gannon incentivized the Vikings to be aggressive and, positive sufficient, they went all out to beat Arizona ultimately. Actually poor sport administration.
14 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 15) – The Bucs flirted with a loss however they finally beat Carolina in time beyond regulation to get again to .500. They’re in a great spot to overhaul Atlanta for the division lead.
15 – San Francisco 49ers (LW: 14) – They’re not formally lifeless but however their playoff chances are high down to five.5%, per FTN Fantasy’s DVOA projection. Simply not their season.
16 – Houston Texans (LW: 18) – The Texans are going to be one-and-done within the playoffs. They’re ok to win their dangerous division however not ok to win within the postseason.
17 – Miami Dolphins (LW: 16) – An unlikely playoff push was seemingly halted with a decisive loss in Inexperienced Bay.
18 – Los Angeles Rams (LW: 19) – With a win over Seattle earlier this season, the Rams nonetheless have an opportunity to comb the Seahawks for a useful tiebreaker that might be the distinction in who finally ends up profitable the NFC West.
19 – Cincinnati Bengals (LW: 17) – One of many prime 13 groups in factors scored has a shedding file. It’s the Bengals, who rank sixth. Their atrocious protection has completely sunk their season.
20 – Indianapolis Colts (LW: 21) – Kudos to Shane Steichen for being aggressive and going for 2 on the finish of the sport to provide the Colts a win. Indy seemingly gained’t be capable of win their division however they’re nonetheless alive for a wild card berth.
21 – Atlanta Falcons (LW: 20) – You’d must be such a sucker to imagine in Kirk Cousins. The Falcons are going to blow their NFC South lead, as we’ve been predicting.
22 – Dallas Cowboys (LW: 25) – The Cowboys don’t have any selection however to provide Mike McCarthy a lifetime contract extension. Have a look at how his gamers are enjoying with pleasure! That is really very significant soccer that actually portends properly for his or her future!
23 – Chicago Bears (LW: 22) – Matt Eberflus deserved to be fired with how badly he botched the Bears’ likelihood to beat Detroit. It’ll be attention-grabbing to see who the Bears rent to pair with Caleb Williams.
24 – New Orleans Saints (LW: 23) – The Saints nonetheless have a 1.7% shot at making the playoffs, so, you’re saying there’s an opportunity? However not likely, they’re undoubtedly donezo.
25 – Cleveland Browns (LW: 24) – Jameis Winston is entertaining to look at … particularly when he’s not the quarterback to your favourite workforce.
26 – New York Jets (LW: 26) – JETS: Simply Finish The Season.
27 – New England Patriots (LW: 28) – They arguably play above their low expertise stage, so, that’s in all probability a very good signal that Jerod Mayo is doing one thing proper.
28 – Carolina Panthers (LW: 29) – The Panthers have been far more aggressive just lately. They adopted two wins with subject aim losses to KC and TB. Possibly there’s some hope but for Bryce Younger?
29 – Tennessee Titans (LW: 27) – I’m going to boldly predict that the Titans may have a brand new quarterback subsequent season.
30 – Las Vegas Raiders (LW: 30) – The Raiders snatched defeat from the jaws of victory to increase the NFL’s longest shedding streak to eight video games. Will Las Vegas beat one in every of their remaining opponents? At Bucs, vs. Falcons, vs. Jags, at Saints, vs. Chargers.
31 – Jacksonville Jaguars (LW: 31) – Doug Pederson’s workforce has the NFL’s best remaining schedule down the stretch; the mixed file of their last 5 opponents is 17-44. The Jags would possibly be capable of decide up some meaningless wins.
32 – New York Giants (LW: 32) – The Giants’ robust energy of schedule is working in opposition to them as a tiebreaker within the 2025 NFL Draft order. However they may very properly get the No. 1 general decide by shedding out and solely possessing the league’s worst file.
