week 15 power rankings

(11-2) W10

bye week.

(10-3) W3

When it comes to Seattle, the only thing that scares me is Sam Darnold. Asking him to put up 3 good performances in the playoffs, at least one of them on the road is a scary ask. When he's looked bad this year, he's looked really bad.

(10-3) W2

I give up on having one over the other. The Seahawks and Rams can share the number 2 spot. I feel essentially the same about these teams and their chances.

(9-3-1) W4

That was a good team. They jump into the top 4, simply because they feel like they are also a complete team on offense and defense, with the top 3, as oppose to some of the other teams in the top 10.

(9-4) W2

I may get heat for having the Bills this high, but like, Josh Allen is going to be the scariest QB to face in the AFC playoffs, without a doubt. Maye could be great, but we just don't know. If it comes down to trusting your QB to go and have a good performance and win 3 games in the playoffs, it's Josh Allen.

(11-2) W10

Look, my issue isn't that they play bad teams close. If you win, you win, that's the goal, who cares how you get there. That being said... The J.J. McCarthy Vikings just beat the Commanders 30-0, and the Broncos went to OT with the Commanders. Then this week, sure the score makes it look closer than it actually was, but it's not like the Broncos played great offensively against the Raiders. They are a good team, I'm not taking anything away from them, it's just I like the Packers and Bills more.

(8-5) W5

The best defense in the league, without a doubt. They can go to the Super Bowl if they play teams like they just played Kansas City.

(9-4) W3

bye week.

(9-4) L1

I don't think you can feel too bad about that loss for Chicago. You played them close in the frozen tundra, and they are going to have another go at them soon.

(9-4) W4

The Jags offense has exploded the last month of the season. It just feels like they can't be slowed down.

(9-4) W2

I don't care if it's bias, but I would love to see a Herbert Super Bowl run. Of the AFC QB's in the playoff picture, he's easily top 3. There is a reality where they do lock in.

(8-5) W1

The Lions stay alive, but man, I would be lying if I told you I have confidence in this team this year.

(8-5) L3

Bad loss. They sacked Herbert 7 times, and were running the ball pretty effectively. Finding ways to lose games like that, is not what you see very often out of Reigning Super Bowl Champs.

(7-6) W1

bye week.

(8-5) L3

Just utterly heart-breaking for the Colts season. They had a genuinely good shot, and now it's all but gone. I still hope Daniel Jones gets paid what he deserves.

(6-6-1) L1

Season is probably over for the Cowboys, due to being on the other end of a George Pickens game.

(7-6) W1

The type of game where you walk away feeling good about your playoff chances, but don't feel great about the win. The Ravens sort of handed it over there.

(6-7) L2

It just became real for Kansas City. A qin-out + Chargers lose-out scenario is the only hope being held onto here. Sure if they sneak in, they could be scary, but nothing this season would tell you that they are any threat to an actual playoff team.

(6-7) L1

I mean, no excuses for losing at home, when essentially fully healthy to the Saints. It's a loss that come January they could be looking back at as the reason they miss the playoffs.

(6-7) W4

The Dolphins are a fun 6-7, but I don't think anyone is taking the seriously due to their opponents.

(4-9) L1

I take back my takes during the season that this was a bad team even with Burrow. They are a good temam with Burrow, and had they had him all season, they would easily be in control of the AFC North.

(6-7) L2

This team is playing straight up terrible. Playing close ugly games against bad teams, and then losing a must win game against the Steelers.

(5-8) W1

That win probably felt good for the Vikings, but they did get eliminated, so.

(3-10) L5

Jacoby Brissett is lowkey kind of a good QB. Not saying they should build around him or anything, but if they are moving on from Kyler, then I would keep Brissett around for another year.

(3-10) W1

The kind of win that breathes some life back into your franchise.

(3-10) L8

The kind of loss that makes you want to tear everything down.

(2-11) L7

bye week.

(2-11) L6

I think anyone praising Sanders highly, or criticizing him harshly, are both dumb. He is playing just okay. I don't think throwing around the fact that he had 300 yards helps his case, when they were trailing the whole game so of course he is passing.

(3-10) L8

Contender for worst game of the year for a single team. Seriously, stop trotting Jayden Daniels out there.

(3-10) L1

Quality tank game.

(2-11) L7

Also a quality tanking game.

(2-11) W1

It does suck that your team gets their first win in awhile, and all anyone can talk about is the losing team's QB.
