NFL POWER RANKINGS FOR WEEK 16

Getting through Sunday in NFL Week 15 means there are only three games left for teams to try and make their final pushes. However, the chaos of Week 15 that saw Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons both tear their ACL also left some teams in its wake. The Kansas City Chiefs caught a raw deal, losing their quarterback and their game, which officially eliminated them from the playoffs. And while the Dallas Cowboys aren't officially ousted yet, they're down to a 1 percent chance after a dismal loss to J.J. McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football.

 

NFL TOP 10 POWER RANKINGS FOR WEEK 15

The calendar has turned to December, with just one month left in the 2025 season, and the NFL playoff picture is coming into focus.

 

Take a look at the top 10 teams in the league. Would it really surprise you if any one of them ended up as Super Bowl champs? 

 

That’s how wide open the NFL seems this season — maybe more than at any time in the past decade. Someone will emerge by February, if not in the final four weeks of the regular season.

 

WEEK 14 NFL TOP 10 POWER RANKINGS

It’s important to note that these rankings consider more than just win-loss records and playoff seeding. Factors like player and team-level grades, offensive and defensive efficiency, prior performance from past seasons, and strength of schedule all play a role. This is why teams with worse records and slimmer playoff hopes may rank higher than those with better records who have managed wins against weaker opponents or delivered inconsistent performances from key players.

 

NFL WEEK 12 TOP 10 POWER RANKINGS

The NFL has reached peak NFL as we hit the Week 12 Power Rankings. Five teams — the Dolphins, Panthers, Bears, Texans and Broncos — won on the final play Sunday, which tied the league’s single-day record. Three more teams — the Bills, Packers and Ravens — erased fourth-quarter deficits on the way to victory.

NFL WEEK 11 TOP 10 POWER RANKINGS

With Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season is in the books, it’s time for some incredibly meaningful and serious games this week. 

NFL TOP 10 POWER RANKINGS FOR WEEK 10

It's rarely clean or easy around here, but when it comes to the Power Rankings, we aim to right wrongs and get everything as correct as we can, even if that means swabbing down the entire deck every few weeks. The Colts, Packers, Chiefs and Lions all went down. A rarity in Top 10 history for four teams to all lose in the same week. 

 

NFL WEEK 9 TOP 10 POLL

Week 9 marks the end of the first half of the 2025 NFL regular season—and so far the season has gone exactly like everyone expected. If by everyone you mean not one person. Sure, there have been teams who have followed the script. The Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions have played well. The Cleveland Browns and New Orleans Saints have not.

WEEK 7 NFL TOP 10 POWER RANKINGS

Week 6 is in the books, and we have some big changes at the top of the NFL power rankings heading into Week 7.

 

I honestly don't believe there's a clear-cut front-runner. Everyone has flaws. There are no unbeatens, and only four teams have one loss. The Bills and Eagles have each lost two straight. And let's not even talk about the Ravens, Bengals and a few other faded preseason darlings.

 

NFL TOP 10 POWER RANKINGS FOR WEEK 6

There are probably about 15 teams that deserve to be in the Top 10.

 

NFL WEEK 4 TOP 10 POLL

Three weeks into the season and I am somewhat disappointed. So many teams that I had such high hopes for have let me down. 

 

In the meantime, I’ll just shuffle my NFL Top 10 again, heading into what I’m sure will be an unpredictable Week 4. Naturally, there was some serious shuffling of the NFL pecking order. As always, I recommend trying not to get too hung up on how many spots a team moved up or down because on any given Sunday, it’s bound to happen.
