It\u2019s been a while since we\u2019ve checked in on our arbitrary and meaningless power rankings, but with just four weeks left in the regular season and the playoff races heating off, now is the perfect time to see who\u2019s doing this whole football thing right and who needs to be taken to the woodshed<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know what we\u2019re seeing in Baltimore right now and I\u2019m not sure anyone does. I wrote that the draft grade on Lamar Jackson disproves all this scout \u201cceiling talk\u201d as just so much horse crap. No player in that draft had a higher ceiling than Jackson. I graded him as a first rounder, but he wasn\u2019t in my Top Three. Is he changing the NFL or just catching everyone by surprise? It happened with the RPO five years ago. Regardless, right now the Ravens are the best thing going and Jackson is the main reason why. I have a bad feeling they\u2019ll get caught in the playoffs, but I\u2019d love to be proven wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just as everyone was crowning the 49ers, the Seahawks took over the NFC West. They\u2019ll get the chance to settle it on the field in Week 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Niners went from Super Bowl favorite to wild card in just a single week. That\u2019s what the Ravens can do to you. If they hold on, they\u2019ll have earned as they face off against the Saints, the Rams and the Seahawks in the final four weeks of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was tempted to put the Saints at No. 3. I figure a win Sunday will take care of that for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s weird to see all the negativity and hand wringing about a 10-2 team, but that\u2019s where the Patriots are right now with their 42-year old quarterback. When that\u2019s happened in the past, they usually come out and curb stomp somebody. They have the Chiefs this week. Let\u2019s see what happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This team looked like a Super Bowl squad to me a month ago, but two bad losses to the Chargers and 49ers in three weeks should have us all questioning the Pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bill O\u2019Brien did everything he could in the offseason to ruin this team and it\u2019s winning in spite of him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A win over the Patriots Sunday might finally put us all out of their misery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bills are sneakily good and built to win in January. No place they\u2019ll play will be as bad as their own home stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is it time for that patented Kirk Cousins December downfall?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sean McVay has been forced to adapt his offense on the fly thanks to a disintegrating offensive line and no idea which Jared Goff will show up on the field from one play to the next. Still, this team is in contention and don\u2019t let the metrics tell you different. If they win out, they\u2019ll make the playoffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
