Here is InGameNow's NFL Power Rankings Week 16
NFL Power Rankings Week 16: Playoff Bound Teams
1. Pittsburgh Steelers The Pittsburgh Steelers had a huge win against the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers have on of the best D's in the NFL. As long as Big Ben keeps playing well, the Steelers are the team to beat in the AFC. Right now, nobody can be trusted in the NFC. If the Steelers are the best in the AFC, that makes them the best in the NFL. AFC>NFC
2. Indianapolis Colts Peyton Manning has led the Indianapolis Colts to 7 straight wins. Now that Manning is healthy, expect the Indianapolis Colts to compete for another Super Bowl.
3. Carolina Panthers The Carolina Panthers are the most under rated team in the NFL. Playing in the very deep NFC South, the Panthers are currently 11-3. This week, Carolina crushed the Denver Broncos 30-10. With an 11-3 record, and 3 straight wins, the Panthers are the hottest team in the NFC.
4. Tennessee Titans The one negative thing about the Tennessee Titans is they can not win the big game. There is no question they blew a chance to beat a solid team when they let the Houston Texan's Andre Johnson have 207 receiving yards against them. The Titans could win 14 games this season and drop their first playoff game.
5. New York Jets Brett Favre is back to his winning ways, leading the New York Jets to a 31-27 win against the Buffalo Bills. There is no question that the New York Jets are better than the Giants.
6. New York Giants The New York Giants are as cold as a New York winter. After getting smoked by the Dallas Cowboys, it looks like the Giants are not a Super Bowl team. Thanks Plax.
7. New England Patriots Before this weeks game, Matt Cassel lost his father. Cassel tossed 4 td's for the New England Patriots, crushing the Oakland Raiders 49-26. The Patriots have proven that even without Tom Brady, they still know how to win.
NFL Power Rankings Week 16: Playoff Hopefuls
8. Dallas Cowboys The Dallas Cowboys have the ability to be the best team in the NFL. Thanks to TO, Jerry Jones, and Pacman, the Cowboys are also the most volatile.
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jeff Garcia has more wins than Donovan McNabb. Think the Philadelphia Eagles fans have noticed this? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have outscored their opponents 313-251. Not bad, considering they are in the best division in football.
10. Atlanta Falcons Matt Ryan has helped the Atlanta Falcons fans forget who Michael Vick is. There are very few rookies in the history of the NFL who have done more. Expect the Falcons to be a 10-12 win team next season.
11. Baltimore Ravens The Baltimore Ravens have quietly scored 325 points this season. Ray Lewis still controlls one of the best Defenses in football. Fear the Ravens come playoff time.
12. Minnesota Vikings The Minnesota Vikings are by far the best team in the NFL (when QB is not factored in). Adrian Peterson is the best back in the NFL. If AP was on the New England Patriots, they would again be 16-0.
NFL Power Rankings Week 16: Livin on a Prayer
13. Miami Dolphins The Miami Dolphins are the most improved team in the NFL. The Dolphins have the most entertaining offense in the league. Miami's Defense has given up less points than the New England Patriots.
14. Chicago Bears Kyle Orton has proven to be an above average QB. In Chicago, this is huge. The Bears have had a run of horrible QB's. If they win out, the Chicago Bears will be 10-6, and should be headed to the playoffs.
15. Arizona Cardinals Kurt Warner has lead the Arizona Cardinals to a playoff berth. The Cardinals have a top offense in the league. If they play in a warm weather playoff game (or on turf) Arizona will be a formidable playoff team.
16. Philadelphia Eagles Donovan McNabb and Andy Reed have run out of time in Philadelphia. It is time for the Eagles to go in a different direction.
17. Houston Texans Andre Johnson is coming off a 207 yard game against the Tennessee Titans, who happen to have one of the best D's in the NFL. Johnson already has 103 receptions for the Houston Texans.
18. Denver Broncos The Denver Broncos will most likely make the playoffs. They are 8-6, playing in one of footballs worst divisions. Come playoff time, do not expect much out of the Broncos.
NFL Power Rankings Week 16: What might have been
19. New Orleans Saints The Chicago Bears nearly blew a 21-7 halftime lead against the New Orleans Saints. Everyone says the Saints might have the best offense in football. If that is true, then the Saints Defense must be the worst in the NFL.
20. Washington Redskins The Washington Redskins lost this week to the Cincinnati Bengals, proving that the Redskins are the least clutch team in the NFL.
21. Buffalo Bills After Starting the season off very hot, the Buffalo Bills have totally cooled off. Loosing to the New York Jets brings the Bills losing streak to three games.
22. Green Bay Packers Think Green Bay Packers fans miss Brett Favre? The Packers have no chance of catching either the Chicago Bears or the Minnesota Vikings.
23. San Francisco 49ers The NFC West is horrible. The San Francisco 49ers are 5-9, yet safely second in the division.
24. San Diego Chargers The San Diego Chargers have outscored opponents 346-302, yet are 6-8. Ouch
25. Jacksonville Jaguars Maurice Jones-Drew is the only exciting part of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
NFL Power Rankings Week 16: Teams that should Throw the last two games for next years Draft
26. Cleveland Browns The Cleveland Browns are the most talented 4-9 team in the history of the NFL.
27. Oakland Raiders As long as Al Davis controlls the team, the Oakland Raiders will never make the playoffs.
28. Seattle Seahawks You know things are bad in Seattle when the Seahawks only beat the St. Louis Rams by 3.
29. Cincinnati Bengals The Cincinnati Bengals are one of the most underachieving teams in the NFL.
30. Kansas City Chiefs For having one of the most advantageous home fields, the Kansas City Chiefs are disappointing. The Chiefs have one win at home this year.
31. St. Louis Rams The St. Louis Rams have given up more than 2 points for every point they score.
32. Detroit Lions The Detroit Lions are 2 games away from 0-16.
