Week 13 NFL Power Rankings

Written December 3, 2009 by Rock Henderson

1.) New Orleans Saints- Finally a believer after the absolute dismantling of the Patriots. Going to be a tough out at home as they thrive in the dome.

2.) Indianapolis Colts- Peyton Manning led yet another second half comeback against the Texans. Face a stiff test against a red hot Titan team.

3.) Minnesota Vikings- Brett Favre shows no signs of wear and tear, which is a bad sign for the rest of the NFC. Peterson needs to take care of the ball down the stretch. The Vikings are favored by 5 points at Arizona this week according to our NFL betting odds.

4.) San Diego Chargers- Have thrown their name into the hat as a legit Super Bowl contender with their performance over the past month and a half.

5.) Dallas Cowboys- Huge divisional match-up with the Giants on the road. Time for Tony Romo to show that he can win a big game on the road.

6.) Cincinnati Bengals- Getting Cedric Benson back this week will help. They went 6-0 against their division and will most likely earn a first round bye.

7.) New England Patriots- A number of holes on the defensive side of the ball spell doom on the road in the playoffs. Tom Brady looked average against the Saints defense.

8.) Arizona Cardinals- Beating the Vikings at home Sunday would make a huge statement to the NFC. Cards need Kurt Warner to stay healthy.

9.) Philadelphia Eagles- Jekyll and Hyde team of the NFL. Don’t think they are good enough on either side of the ball to be a legit factor in January.

10.) Green Bay Packers- Two of their four losses were to the Vikings. Aaron Rodgers will keep them in every game, but their defense is suspect.

11.) Denver Broncos- Nice rebound win over the Giants. Not sure if they are the team that won six straight or lost four in a row?

12.) Baltimore Ravens- Tough road test in Green Bay Sunday. Took overtime to beat a Dennis Dixon led Steeler team. Not a good sign for postseason chances.

13.) Pittsburgh Steelers- Must beat the Raiders and Browns the next two weeks. Big Ben is set to return from a concussion suffered in Week 11.

14.) New York Giants- A huge disappointment so far this season. Seem to be lacking an identity on offense and their defense can only do so much.

15.) Atlanta Falcons- The Matt Ryan injury puts Atlanta behind the eight ball with Chris Redman at the helm. Need RB Michael Turner to get healthy quick.

16.) Tennessee Titans- Rising up the Power Rankings each week. Vince Young is 5-0 starter this year, proving all doubters wrong to this point.

17.) Jacksonville Jaguars- Need a late season surge behind Garrard and Jones-Drew. Have struggled away from home.

18.) Miami Dolphins- Fins’ in a must win situation against the Patriots. Loss of dynamic running back Ronnie Brown might be too much to overcome.

19.) Houston Texans- Another .500 record looks to be well within reach. Their season went down the drain with a second half collapse vs. Indy.

20.) San Francisco 49ers- A quarterback away from being a real contender in the NFC. Can jump back into division race with a win and Cardinals loss.

21-32

21.) New York Jets

22.) Chicago Bears

23.) Carolina Panthers

24.) Buffalo Bills
