Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I thought I’d squeeze in the computerized power rankings for Week 11 before the games start today.
The Packers and 49ers continue their roll and are still the top 2 teams. Not a bad Thanksgiving for the NFL, with their top 2 teams both playing. #3 Bears and #4 Texans are in an interesting predicament. Since they each last played, they lost their starting QBs for the season….so don’t expect them to stay there long. The Ravens moved up to #5 after beating the Bengals
On the bottom, the Panthers, Redskins, and Colts are still the most pathetic. The Rams managed to escape the bottom 5, but not because they won or anything. The Buccaneers, who have been extremely bad ever since getting crushed in San Francisco, managed to drop all the way to #29. The Chargers lost yet again.
The biggest gainers this week were the Dolphins and Seahawks, who are getting their seasons back on track waaaay too late. They jumped 6 spots. The biggest losers were the Bengals, who fell all the way to #12 after back to back losses to Pittsburgh and Baltimore.
