NFL Power Rankings: Week 12

Written November 26, 2009 by Rock Henderson

1.) Indianapolis Colts- Either very resilient or very lucky to still be undefeated. Facing a desperate Houston Texan team this weekend.

2.) New Orleans Saints- Face their stiffest test of the season when the Patriots come to the Superdome. Who Dat Dem Saints look to keep rolling.

3.) Minnesota Vikings- In my opinion the most balanced team in the NFL with the pass/run and defense taken into account.

4.) New England Patriots- Rebounded nicely from their tough loss at Indy. Will get a chance to make a statement to the rest of the league with a win at New Orleans.

5.) Arizona Cardinals- 5-0 on the road and just 2-3 at home. Health of QB Kurt Warner is cause for concern as the season moves on.

6.) Cincinnati Bengals- Off, a loss to the Raiders is taking a giant step back. Needs to take advantage of their upcoming weak schedule.

7.) San Diego Chargers- Have hit their stride after a slow start. RB LaDanian Tomlinson has had a nice two week stretch, showing signs of his old self.

8.) Dallas Cowboys- Have scored 14 points in their last two games with both touchdowns coming late in the 4th quarter. The Cowboys are 13.5 point favorites over Oakland on Thanksgiving according to our NFL betting lines.

9.) Philadelphia Eagles- Nice win on the road at Chicago last Sunday night. Only one game back of division leader Dallas with six games to play.

10.) Pittsburgh Steelers- Concussions are nothing to mess with and Big Ben has suffered quite a few in his young career. Steelers playing for a Wild Card spot in all likelihood.

11.) New York Giants- Tried to blow a 4th quarter lead once again last week. Huge game at Denver Thursday night could decide their playoff fate.

12.) Green Bay Packers- Suffered two key season ending injuries on the defensive side of the ball as CB Al Harris is out along with LB Aaron Kampman.

13.) Denver Broncos- Have forgot how to move the ball on offense apparently even though their head coach is considered to be a offensive guru.

14.) Baltimore Ravens- Joe Flacco made a 2nd year mistake with an interception in field goal range down by 2 last week. Might have cost them a playoff spot.

15.) Jacksonville Jaguars- Have benefited from a weak schedule and defending their home field. Need a statement win to make me a believer.

16.) Atlanta Falcons- One of the teams that have been hit hard with injuries. RB Michael Turner is optimistic that he can return this week versus Tampa.

17.) Houston Texans- Tough loss at home on Monday night against the rival Titans put head coach Gary Kubiak on the hot seat.

18.) Miami Dolphins- No Ronnie Brown for the rest of the year hurts, but if Ricky Williams keeps performing Miami could sneak into Wild Card position.

19.) Tennessee Titans- Vince Young is 4-0 as a starter. Guess Jeff Fischer should have made the call to switch starter a little earlier than week 7.

20.) Carolina Panthers- I don’t know how QB Jake Delhomme manages to keep his job year to year after yet another dismal game.

21-32

21.) San Francisco 49ers

22.) Chicago Bears

23.) New York Jets
