NFL Power Rankings: Playoffs Edition


1. Packers
2. Saints
3. Patriots
4. 49ers
5. Ravens - "AFC No. 2 seed. If Cam Cameron leans on the run game in the manner he did last Sunday
in Cincy, this club can beat the Pats in the AFC. The Ravens can beat anyone, including the Packers. Still, they are the least likely of the top five teams to do it because A) the corners can be had (See: Week 15 in San Diego), and B) Joe Flacco's game hasn't progressed, though he was a very efficient 15-of-19 for 130 yards against the Bengals. Can Flacco ratchet it up should the Ravens get involved in a 30-27 contest? Of course, you can ask the same question of Alex Smith and the Niners, but their defense allowed 37 less points than the Ravens in '11. Either way, both of these defensive-minded teams are talented enough to make hay in the playoffs."
6. Steelers
7. Falcons
8. Texans
9. Lions
10. Giants
11. Bengals
12. Broncos

1. Packers
2. Saints
3. 49ers
4. Patriots
5. Ravens - "The Ravens were an impressive 6-0 in a tough AFC North."
6. Steelers
