Welcome back to the NFL Power Rankings on SoBros Network, which I’m still using to hopefully cash in on the SoBros Network being approved by Google News. My process is simple – I’m just looking at wins, losses, and the eye test to determine my top 10 teams in the league as we head into Week 11 of the 2020 season.
NFL POWER RANKINGS: WEEK 11 2020
1. Pittsburgh Steelers (9-0) – I’ll own it…I thought that Bengals game had trap game written all over it. But, the Steelers just went out there and put ’em in the dirt, 36-10. The Steelers remain the NFL’s lone unbeaten, and they’ll look to extend that streak at Jacksonville on Sunday.
2. Kansas City Chiefs (8-1) – The Chiefs were on a bye this week, but they remain clearly one of the two best teams in the NFL right now given the fluctuating state of the NFC. They return to action this week on the road in Las Vegas in a huge showdown with the Raiders on Sunday Night Football.
3. Green Bay Packers (7-2) – I’m giving the Packers the narrow edge over the Saints right now because that injury to Drew Brees really concerns me. But, I don’t love how this Packers squad played against the Jags on Sunday. The NFC looks wide open right now. They travel to Indianapolis to play the red hot Colts on Sunday.
4. New Orleans Saints (7-2) – The Saints remain in the hunt after blowing out the 49ers on Sunday, but losing Drew Brees with a collapsed lung doesn’t bode well for the future. We’ll see what Jameis Winston is made of on Sunday, as the Saints play host to the Atlanta Falcons.
5. Arizona Cardinals (6-3) – There’s just something magical about this connection between Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins. Maybe we’re all just a little emotional after watching that Hail Mary against the Bills on Sunday, but it certainly feels like this team is emerging as a dark horse in the NFC. They have another huge showdown with the Seattle Seahawks, who are in free fall, on Thursday Night Football.
6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3) – The Bucs got right against the Carolina Panthers behind stellar performances from Tom Brady and Ronald Jones, but I still say they have to be SWEATIN’ the New Orleans Saints this season. They host the Rams in a key NFC game on Monday Night Football.
7. Buffalo Bills (7-3) – Let’s not beat the Bills up too bad – I mean, just before Hopkins caught that Hail Mary, the Bills thought they had a game winner of their own to Stefon Diggs. This is still a good team that benefits from an AFC that is wide open beyond the Steelers and Chiefs.
8. Indianapolis Colts (6-3) – The Colts may have finally gotten things right on Thursday Night Football when they wrangled control of the AFC South away from the Tennessee Titans. If they can keep that level of play up, they could make some noise in the AFC. They host the Packers in a big game on Sunday.
9. Los Angeles Rams (6-3) – The Rams got a huge win over the Seahawks to keep pace with the rest of the STACKED NFC West. Not only is this the best division in football, it may be the best division in football that we’ve seen in a long time. The Rams travel to Tampa Bay for a big time game against the Bucs on Monday Night Football.
10. Miami Dolphins (6-3) – Forget a wild card, these Dolphins are only a half game back in the AFC East! They’ve got a shot to chase down Buffalo! And, the way they’re playing defense and special teams right now with the way Tua Tagovailoa has burst onto the scene, they just might do it. They travel to Denver to play the Broncos on Sunday.

CURRENT SUPER BOWL PREDICTION
Okay, maybe this is a bit of an overreaction, but I’m going Steelers over Cardinals this week. I just don’t know who the hell is coming out of the NFC this year, as all of the heavyweights have their major concerns. Meanwhile, all the Cards are doing is posting points – they’re hot right now. I could totally see them finally getting Larry Fitzgerald that Super Bowl ring.
