Welcome in to a new feature we are trying out here on SoBros Network because we were recently approved to be on Google News (YUGE win, LFG), and I am testing whether or not it’s worth doing these sorts of power rankings for the SEO. Yes, that’s the entire basis for this set of NFL Power Rankings.
For me, it’s pretty simple. I’m just looking at wins and losses, and I’m looking at the eye test to determine my top 10 teams in the NFL each week. LFG.
NFL POWER RANKINGS: WEEK 15 2019
1. Baltimore Ravens (11-2) – The Ravens showed that they are a lot more than Lamar Jackson on Sunday in a gutsy win over the Buffalo Bills. Now, they’ve clinched a playoff berth, and I say they’re still the team to beat in the NFL.
2. San Francisco 49ers (11-2) – The 49ers got things right in an instant classic against the New Orleans Saints. This last stretch of games has been brutal, but they’ve managed to play well. This was one they had to have to prove they can hang with the elite in the NFL and they did just that. They host the Atlanta Falcons this week, but keep an eye on that Week 17 showdown with the Seahawks.
3. Seattle Seahawks (10-3) – That really weird loss to the Rams stings a bit for a team that was really hoping to keep pace with the 49ers in the division. Still, you can’t count Russell Wilson out of the playoff race just yet. They travel to the Panthers this weekend.
4. New Orleans Saints (10-3) – Doesn’t it just feel like anyone from the NFC could rise up and win the title? Like….how much different are the 49ers, Seahawks, Saints, and Packers?! The Saints nearly beat the 49ers. They host the Indianapolis Colts this week.
5. Green Bay Packers (10-3) – The Packers gutted one out against a tough Washington team on Sunday to get to 10-3 with the Minnesota Vikings hot on their heels in the NFC North. They get a Chicago Bears team that has improved tremendously in recent weeks.
6. New England Patriots (10-3) – Yup. There’s something seriously wrong in New England. That offense is not the same. It doesn’t look remotely threatening at all, and at this points, it’s a liability. They’re 2-3 in their last five, and those only two wins have come against bad Eagles and Cowboys teams by a combined 11 points. They have to get right against the Bengals this week.
7. Kansas City Chiefs (9-4) – Still want to see this defense continue to improve, but this could be a dangerous team come January. They knocked off the Patriots last week and get the Broncos this week.
8. Minnesota Vikings (9-4) – Nobody wants to see the Vikings in the playoffs the way they’re built. They get the Packers in Week 16 in a game that could decide the NFC North. Up next, it’s the Chargers.
9. Tennessee Titans (8-5) – The Titans are only behind the Ravens as the 2nd hottest team in football, winning four straight. That offense looks completely different with Ryan Tannehill at the helm. No one wants this team right now. They have a massive game against the Texans this week.
10. Buffalo Bills (9-4) – Tough loss, but to the best team in football. Seems crazy to think, but they’re only a game behind the Patriots, who look increadibly beatable right now, with a game against them in Week 16 remaining. This week, they travel to Pittsburgh for a massive game against the Steelers.
CURRENT SUPER BOWL PREDICTION
Ravens over 49ers – I still like the Ravens to win it all, but the 49ers showed something in that win over the Saints. I think they’re the most talented team in the NFC, and proved they can hang with anyone. I like ’em to make a run.
