Week 13 NFL Power Rankings

A weekly peek at the NFL from top to bottom.

NFL Power Rankings

1 Last Week: 1	New Orleans Saints Impressive win on Monday night. Should have run off any doubters.
2 Last Week: 3	Indianapolis Colts Continue to win close games late. It will bite them at some point. Play a red hot Titans team this week.
3 Last Week: 4	Minnesota Vikings This team impresses week in and week out. Brett may be having his best year ever, and the defense leads the league in sacks.
4 Last Week: 3	New England Patriots Rocked by the Saints on Monday night, but still a step ahead of the rest.
5 Last Week: 9	Dallas Cowboys Rolled over the Raiders. Can they avoid their usual December let down?
6 Last Week: 7	Cincinnati Bengals Lost to the Raiders then struggled against the Browns. They must get the passing attack going to make a deep run.
7 Last Week: 14	San Diego Chargers Really playing well right now. Have won their last 15 games in December.
8 Last Week: 10	Philadelphia Eagles Struggled against a weak Redskins team, now they play a tough Falcons squad. They need D. Jackson healthy.
9 Last Week: 15	Green Bay Packers Thursday win over the lowly Lions, now a nice long break to prepare for the Ravens on Monday night.
10 Last Week: 13	Denver Broncos Got a much needed win over the Giants. Now they a get a recently improved Chiefs squad.
11 Last Week: 8	Arizona Cardinals Lost a heart breaker to the Titans. It certainly doesn’t get easier this week when the Vikings come to town.
12 Last Week: 14	Atlanta Falcons Chris Redman looked great. Can this team survive the injury bug to stay in the playoff hunt?
13 Last Week: 11	Pittsburgh Steelers The division is all but lost. Must get right quickly before the playoffs pass them by as well.
14 Last Week: 9	Jacksonville Jaguars A bad loss against the 49ers. In the middle of a large pack hunting for a playoff spot.
15 Last Week: 12	New York Giants Do or die time for the Giants. Need to sweep the division the next three weeks. It starts at home with the Cowboys.
16 Last Week: 17	Tennessee Titans From 0-6 to 5-6. Can they beat the Colts and get back in the playoff picture?
17 Last Week:19	Baltimore Ravens Beat the Big Benless Steelers to keep playoff hopes alive. Need a big win on Monday night in Green Bay.
18 Last Week:18	Houston Texans Can’t find a way to get past the Colts. With the Jaguars, Seahawks, Rams and Dolphins, this team can make a run.
19 Last Week:16	Miami Dolphins A disappointing 4th quarter let down in Buffalo. 24 unanswered 4th quarter points…to the Bills?!
20 Last Week: 22	San Fransisco 49ers Nice win over a good Jaguars team. Only 2 games back of the Cardinals for the division lead.
21 Last Week:20	New York Jets First team on the rankings I will consider out of the playoffs. Are they out? No, but I think all teams ahead of them are better.
22 Last Week: 26	Buffalo Bills 24 point outburst in the 4th quarter came out of no where. We won’t see them score 24 points in another game this year.
23 Last Week: 27	Seattle Seahawks Only have one game all year within 10 points. Win big or lose big.
24 Last Week: 21	Chicago Bears Latest victim of the Vikings. Lovie, get that resume on Monster.
25 Last Week: 23	Carolina Panthers Please give me someone other than Jake under center.
26 Last Week:24	Kansas City Chiefs Could really see the difference in talent levels between the Chargers and Chiefs all over the field.
27 Last Week: 28	Washington Redskins Will probably be lower after the Saints run through them Sunday.
28 Last Week:25	Oakland Raiders Gradkowski didn’t look near as good this week.
29 Last Week:39	Detroit Lions I project no more wins this season.
30 Last Week:28	St. Louis Rams Whipped up on by the Seahawks. We will start talking draft next week.
31 Last Week:32	Tampa Bay Buccaneers Josh Freeman is fun to watch. They will win a couple more games this season.
32 Last Week: 31	Cleveland Browns My bet is this team doesn’t score more than 10 points in another game this year.

12 Perfect Gifts For Some of the NFL Players On Your List

Well, the holidays are officially underway. You’ve camped out at Wal-Mart at 4AM, You got into a verbal war with someone who cut in line. Then you knocked him out. You snatched up all the Twilight Barbies and you’ve already resold 15 Zhu-Zhu Hamsters. You even kept one for yourself, because they’re awesome. But now its time to focus. You’ve got less than a month to knock out a huge NFL player gift list and a couple names on there are really tough to buy for…So, I did you a favor. I did some homework and wrote down a few gift ideas for the difficult names that remain. I think you’ll be pleased. Happy Holidays and best of luck!

The Gift List

1. Tom Cable – The Bob Body Punching Bag, wearing any of these. Every time you see this creepy thing in a sports store you put up your hands up, throw a few jabs, and then just right cross the hell out of it like you know what you’re doing. Well, at least I do. Anyhow, add hair and you’ve got the perfect stress reliever for Mr. Cable, without the embarrassing press reports. $349.00, $30.00

2. Steve Smith (Carolina) – Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, for Nintendo. Steve can channel his little man syndrome through Little Mac in this throwback classic and jack people in the face twice his size without any repercussions. Block, block, block, block, block, annnd uppercut. Sit down Great Tiger. $19.99

3. Jay Cutler – Put that number 3 receiver your holding back on the shelf. He’s got plenty of those. Jay needs something big, something to get his mind off of football. Here’s what I’m thinking. It’s “The Man” treatment from Chicago’s Halo for men. Jay looks exhausted, doesn’t he? Well not anymore! Send him down to Halo for men where he’ll get a hip new haircut! Hand and arm massages! Facial treatment for those baggy eyes! AND a Paraffin hand wax!! Whatever that is! After countless late nights at The Underground and completions to the other team, this is the perfect “gettaway for a day Jay” gift. $45.00

4. Darrius Heyward-Bey – These. And not that these hands are going to help him hold onto anything, but at least now you can’t say he doesn’t have any. “Derrius Heyward-Bey runs a 4.2 40 and has a sa-weet set of hands!” Yea…Now that sounds more like a number 7 overall. $14.99

5. Michael Crabtree – I’d hold off on him until after the holiday when there will be some better deals.

6. Jamarcus Russell – For the man who can buy anything for doing nothing, this will bring him back to the golden days while making the new job a little more comfortable. $19.95 (On sale!)

7. Brett Favre – This book will come in handy sooner than later. Or maybe never. Otherwise, for those warm summer pick up games with the boys, these will be great when the pants get too warm.$1.75, $45.00

8. Maurice Jones Drew- A bowling ball bag, to carry himself in. $33.00

9. Miles Austin -  These. So he doesn’t do this again. $129.95

10. DeSean Jackson –  An Invisible Fence. Installed on both goal lines. So when he’s about to score he’ll hear a beep and feel a light shock so he’ll know not to freak the f!#% out and do something like this when he’s about to hit pay dirt. We’ll call it a hi-tech warning track, for humans. $1,800

11. Ricky Williams – According to Wikipedia, Williams is a qualified Yoga instructor. And one of the reasons he played for the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts was for the opportunity to teach a free Yoga class in a Toronto facility. Now, a Yoga mat would be an easy choice, but Nintendo’s Wii Fit game has a Yoga feature that… Nah just kidding. Weed. $20

12. Adrian Peterson – Benadryl. That rash is getting out of control. Poor guy has to be dyin’. $6.99
