NFL Power Rankings Week 13:Every Pro Football Team

Ok folks...here is The Week 13 NFL Pro Football Power Rankings by 360 Sports Network. We are going to be blunt and honest about every NFL team, and a little bit more so about the personnel of these pro football teams.



1. Green Bay Packers - This team is the most complete NFL team in professional football. The balanced offense of Aaron Rodgers sharing the wealth with all of his receivers makes this team lethal. The impressive win at Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day against a tough Detroit Lions team shows the true depth of this team



2. The New England Patriots- New England's schedule is most favorable for them to win out the AFC East going in to the last quarter of the pro football regular season. Although New England's defense is not the strongest at the corners, The output of Brady, Welker and Gronkowski/Hernandez propels them to #2 in the power rankings.



3. The Baltimore Ravens- The impressive win Baltimore had over San Francisco led by their defense moves Baltimore up in the pro football rankings. As long as Joe Flacco plays smart football and does not turn the ball over, the defense will win the games.


4. New Orleans Saints - Drew Brees put on a clinic on how to run an offense during The Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants. This team can score early and often with the likes of Jimmy Graham, Darren Sproles, Pierre Thomas, and Lance Moore.


5. The San Francisco 49ers- San Francisco, despite their loss on Thanksgiving to Baltimore, deserves to be in the top 5. This team hung in there against a formidable Ravens defense. This team will take the NFC West and go deep in the playoffs with its balanced offense and opportunistic defense.


6. The Pittsburgh Steelers- Although the Steelers won against a decimated Kansas City team, the Steelers were not in sync. The defense kept the team alive against the poor play of Tyler Palko. However, the Steelers need to develop some consistancy with the running game. The Steelers need to dominate against lesser teams rather than play to their level.


7. Houston Texans - Houston is truly a gritty team. After losing Matt Schaub they turned to Matt Leinert only to lose him to a nasty collarbone injury. Arian Foster and Andre Johnson will continue to carry the Texans. The tough defense and remarkable play by 3rd string QB Yeats will keep the Texans in the top 10 in the pro football power rankings.


8. The Atlanta Falcons- The elevated play of Matt Ryan and his receiving corps of Jones and Douglas elevates the Falcons to #8 in the pro football power rankings. If they can beat a gritty Houston team, they will put themselves in good position to reach the playoffs.


9. Dallas Cowboys - Mr. November, Tony Romo must continue his elevated play in December. Romo's elevated play came about by the emergence of DeMarco Murray and Laurent Robinson. Expect more wins from this inspired group.


10. The Oakland Raiders- Carson Palmer has this team in his hip pocket. A balanced offensive attack with a very opportunistic defense will propel this team into the playoffs perhaps as the number 1 seed in the AFC West.


11. Cincinnati Bengals - The Bengals won ugly last week against the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland has a tough defense. Andy Dalton is showing much poise as the Bengals have the same record as Pittsburgh.


12. The Detroit Lions- This team's worst enemy is itself. Armed with the best duo in professional football, Matt Stafford and Calvin Johnson, the Lions could easily have a much better record. However, immature play by Suh and an undisciplined approach by most of the Lion's defense holds this team back. It is difficult to win when you give up 127 rushing yards per game.


13. The Chicago Bears- Ok, Cutler gets hurt so Mike Martz scraps the old game plan of a balanced offense that wins games and makes Caleb Haine throw the ball over 30 times. This is why the Bears have fallen in the pro football rankings. Matt Forte is a proven rusher. Marion Barber the III is a big power back. If the Bears have a chance to win, and move forward to the playoffs, Mike Martz and Lovie Smith need to run a controlled offense.


14. The Denver Broncos- Tim Tebow is making waves in Denver. His unorthodox style of Quarterback play is starting to solidify the Broncos. This is a team who is believing in itself , especially in the win against San Diego last Sunday and will continue to band together to win games. If this continues, Denver could win the AFC West.


15. The New York Giants- The New York defense disappeared on Monday Night Football when it could not cover any New Orleans receivers. Although Eli Manning kept the score somewhat respectible, the Giants sorely need Ahmad Bradshaw back from his injury.


16. New York Jets- The Jets are starting to catch a break. Tomlinson is espected to play in Week 13 and the remaining schedule for the Jets looks favorable. The Jets must win however to make the AFC wild card spot.


17. The Tennessee Titans- Chris Johnson is finally earning his money with a decent game last week. Matt Hasselbeck has a long row to hoe however with tough games ahead with New Orleans and Houston.


18. Philadelphia Eagles - Will Andy Reid be the next coach to go? The game on Thursday agains Seattle with a significantly banged up Eagle squad does not bode well for coaching job security. However, Lesean McCoy is expected to play and there seems to be a good chemistry between Vince Young and Riley Cooper.


19. The Buffalo Bills- D'oh! What will Stevie Johnson do next to embarass himself and cost his team a victory? Also CJ Spiller needs to step up his game as Fred Jackson will not be returning from his injury any time soon.


20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Turnovers are killing this team along with inconstant play on both sides of the ball. Let's hope Freeman's injury he incurred at the gun range is not too serious.


21. San Diego Chargers - Norv Turner may be the next coach to go as he embarassed himself with conservative play calling against the Broncos and squandered a victory. The Chargers are extremely disappointing as this immensely talented team continues to underachieve.


22. The Seattle Seahawks - With Sidney Rice out with a concussion, Marshawn Lynch will be carrying the load for the Seahawks. With The Eagles and the Rams on the schedule the next two weeks, you should hope to have Lynch on your Fantasy Football roster.


23. The Washington Redskins- This team amazes me with the number of times it changes quarterbacks and running backs. However Grossman is a better QB than Beck and Helu must get the bulk of the carries... It only seems right, doesn't it Shanahan?


24. The Miami Dolphins - Inspired play by Matt Moore Reggie Bush and Brandon Marshall are making this team a spoiler team. This team could beat the Raiders and cause the Jets problems.


25. The Arizona Cardinals- Beanie Wells with 228 yards against the Rams last week propels the Cardinals up to 25 in the Pro Football Power Rankings. However it is tough sledding ahead with games against Dallas and San Francisco .


26. The Carolina Panthers- Cam Newton has energized the offense, but nothing has helped the defense as they remain woeful. Still, they beat the Colts last week.


27. The Minnesota Vikings- Christian Ponder is showing promise and has found Percy Harvin in the end zone. However, without Adrian Peterson, this team doesn't have enough to beat the Broncos.


28. The Kansas City Chiefs- Pittsburgh eliminated Kansas City from the playoff picture last week. Tyler Palko is clearly struggling and Dwayne Bowe gave up on the pass that was thrown his way. Too many mistakes have hurt this team all season.


29. The Cleveland Browns- Colt McCoy showed flashes of competencey last week against the Bengals. However it is painfully obvious that McCoy is not the answer in Cleveland.


30. The Jacksonville Jaguars- This team is in complete disarray. The only thing the Jaguars have is an extended contract with its GM. There are many issues that need addressed offensively.


31. St. Louis Rams - Giving up 228 yards to Beanie Wells is not the answer to having a competent defense. Yes, the Rams are very ugly this year!


32. Indianapolis Colts - Payton Manning back in December? Why?!?
