NFL
Power Rankings for Week 16 of the 2009 season. Each week our team of football
experts will pass judgment on each NFL team and rank them accordingly.
Once again there are no changes at the top of our power rankings this week. The Saints
finally lost their first game as they were knocked off by the Dallas Cowboys.
The Saints can secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win
against Tampa Bay. The AFC playoff race is completely up for grabs with 8 teams
in the mix for 2 playoff spots.
Teams on the RISE: Panthers, Browns
Teams on the FALL: Broncos, Redskins
We have added a new column to our power rankings table. It is called "Record
Should Be" and it represents what the team's record should probably be had it
not been for some fluke play or a really bad officiating call (i.e. Ed Hochuli
in last year's Chargers / Broncos game). |
