Kepple & Lucas NFL power rankings after week 12

David Kepple & Sean Lucas
Sports Analysts


Here are the top 10 NFL teams computed by using our reasonings. 

1*Tampa Bay Buccaneers; The Bucs have claimed the top spot after defeating the Packers very decisively.

2* Atlanta Falcons; Mike Vick never leaves his defense in a jam. How long can this last?

3* Green Bay Packers; Brett Farve 7 INTs the last two weeks! Look for him to have a breakout game.

4* Oakland Raiders; Rich Gannon is still a threat to challenge Marino's single season passing yardage mark.

5* New Orleans Saints; Not overcoming adversity very well.

6* Philadelphia Eagles; Does it really matter who plays QB for this team?

7* Pittsburgh Steelers; Kordell might have coaches thinking twice before naming Tommy Maddox their starting QB.

8* San Francisco 49ers; The defense only held 25% of the time on 3rd down versus the Eagles.

9* Miami Dolphins; Ricky Williams appears ready to lead his team into the playoffs.

10* Indianapolis Colts; Playing with emotion and finding away to win big games.

Kepple's Korner: (Washington at Dallas; 4:05 pm, Thanksgiving Day)

These two NFC East rivals will take the field on Turkey Day; The loser of this game will have their slim playoff hopes drowned. The winner will still have a lot of work to do. Look for Dallas to break their streak of two straight Thanksgiving day loses.

Prediction: Cowboys 27 Redskins 17

Lucas' Lookout: (Denver at San Diego; 4:05, Sunday)

With both teams sitting at 7-4 the winner of this game will have the inside track on winning the AFC West. The Chargers have struggled as of late but they have played well at home. On Sunday Night Football the Broncos let the Colts make play after play on 2nd and 3rd and long and this week it doesn't appear things will be any different. Look for San Diego to control the game with their running game and win in a squeaker.

Prediction: Chargers: 17 Broncos: 16
