January 02, 2007
The regular season is complete and we have our final regular
season power rankings completed.
The final week of the 2007 NFL regular season gave us some exciting finishes,
and a couple of record-setting performances. The Patriots-Giants Saturday night
special lived up to the hype as Tom Brady and Randy Moss made history.
Really right now, it's New England's world and we’re just
living in it. Someone may knock them off, but until they do, we all bow down to
the kings of the NFL. They either stomp you, or you can play a perfect game
against them as the Giants did and they come from behind if necessary. Either
way, they win.
Our computerized power ranking system is compiled using our own experts
analysis along with the grades from over 50 NFL sites and experts, as
well as over 20 other criteria to give the best overall consensus power
rankings on the web.

NC |
0.398 |
| The best point total in our ten year
history of doing the power rankings, now they get to start at 0-0 with
everyone else and try to really make history. Lose and 16-0 means
nothing. |

Colts ·

They lost, but weren't really trying. It's a good thing Manning stays healthy
though. Sorgi prays for Manning's health every week, as do all Colts fans. |

Chargers ·

The hottest team in the league right now other than the Patriots. They have
quietly been destroying competition of late. |

Nice bounce back dominant game
last week even when it meant nothing, now they get a week off to heal and they
are capable of beating anyone. |

Cowboys ·

They had better be able to get their
emotion back because even playing the starters they have looked flat the last 3
weeks. |
 |

Jaguars ·

Tough matchup since the Steelers have
never lost in the situation they are going into, but if anyone can play in the
elements in Pittsburgh, its these Jaguars. |
 |

Steelers ·

How healthy is Ben Roethlisberger? We all
know the running game is not clicking like it should, Ben is going to have to
put this team on his back for them to defeat the Jags. |
 |

Buccaneers ·

NC |
7.187 |
|
The Bucs have now lost two in a row, and three of their last four as they have
been coasting, we think that may have been a mistake. The Giants are playing
their best ball right now and it is going to take a great effort to beat them.
The rest is over. |

Seahawks ·

Seattle takes on Washington in a rematch of a hard-fought 2005 NFC
divisional-round meeting this weekend. Now can they go a postseason with no
running game? |
 |

Redskins ·

8.888 |

The hottest team in the NFC notched its fourth straight win and a playoff berth
with a 27-6 victory over Dallas on Sunday. Look out, Seattle. |
 |

Giants ·
Matchups |

NC |
9.458 |
|
Though they ended up on the wrong end of the scoreboard, the Giants showed the
country they can play some football. Tampa Bay's up ahead this weekend. The fact
that it's a road game shouldn't matter. New York went 7-1 away from home this
season |
 |

Titans
·

9.982 |
|
Tennessee travels to San Diego for a wild-card round battle on Sunday. San Diego
hasn't won a playoff game since 1994. But still, Vince Young's health will be
the key. |
 |

Eagles ·
Matchups |

10.051 |
|
They finished on a roll, which is a good thing. Donovan McNabb played
well enough for the Eagles to keep him, if they don't they are crazy. |
 |

Vikings

How do you lay an egg in the
situation they were in? Is Tarvaris Jackson the quarterback of the future? |
 |

Browns
·

NC |
12.299 |
|
The 10 wins are the team's most since the expansion rebirth in 1999.
If only they didn't blow that game
against the Bengals. |
 |

Bears ·

NC |
13.461 |
|
Devin Hester has been great, if they can find someone to throw him the ball they
might become a factor next year again, but we still wonder about the fall of
that defense. |
 |

Texans
·

13.494 |
|
Houston's roster was ravaged by injuries in '07, and yet, the Texans still
finished the season with a .500 record. Definitely a team to watch in 2008. |
 |

Cardinals
· Matchups |

14.165 |
|
They finished 8-8, which is a nice first
season for Ken Whisenhunt. Now they get to have a quarterback controversy for
2008. |
 |

Broncos ·

Jay Cutler is looking a LOT like Jake Plummer. |
 |

Isn't Marvin Lewis a defensive-oriented
coach? Like the Saints they have to fix the defense. |
 |

Saints
·

15.061 |
|
Fix that defense or watch all that
wonderful passing game go to waste. They are the Chiefs of a few years ago, all
offense no defense. We see how that worked out. |
 |
22 |
Bills
·
Matchups |

15.315 |

With a host of young talent under contract for years to come, look for the Bills
to only get better next season |
 |
23 |
Panthers ·
Matchups |

15.672 |
|
Without Jake Delhomme this team
was just not any good. Rookie linebacker Jon Beason was a bright spot. |
 |

Lions
· Matchups |

16.523 |
|
With Martz gone, they start over and then
they have to ask if Jon Kitna is really the long-term answer at quarterback. |
 |
25 |
Jets
·
Matchups |

NC |
17.799 |
|
Man-genious? That was a painful win on Sunday. |
 |
26 |
Ravens
· Matchups |

18.967 |
|
Who will be the coach? Whoever it is
needs to find a quarterback to lead this team right away. |
 |
27 |
Raiders ·
Matchups |
27 |
NC |
19.462 |
|
There may be some hope in Oakland, a JaMarcus Russell and Darren Mcfadden
backfield combination could terrify the NFL for years to come and it looks like
the Raiders might get to pick him. |
 |
28 |
Chiefs ·
Matchups |
26 |
2 |
19.805 |
|
The Chiefs were 4-3 and in first
place in the AFC West. They finish the season 4-12, and losers of nine straight.
They are not just bad, but painful to watch. They fired a lot of offensive staff
this week, but Herm Edwards is safe, he must know where Peterson buried the
bodies. |
 |

Falcons
· Matchups |

19.957 |
|
The Falcons should really consider keeping Emmitt Thomas as coach, it is his
time, and he really had them playing hard even when outmatched. |

Good news 49ers fans, you get the 7th
pick in the draft. Now hand it over to the Patriots losers. Nice job mortgaging
the future. |

The Tuna has started the bloodletting in Miami already. Don't be shocked if the
Dolphins look to trade down from number one for a bounty of picks |
