2008 NFL Power Rankings: Week 13

J.J. McDermott, NFL Columnist at Fantasy Football Maniaxs

Week 12 in the NFL was loaded with fantastic games.  The Cowboys got back on track against the 49ers, the Giants beat the red hot Cardinals, and the Raiders stunned the Broncos among other great games. 

Find out who the new number one in our Power Rankings is in this very special Thanksgiving edition of Power Rankings!

32.  Lions  0-11

It will not be a very Happy Thanksgiving in Detroit on Thursday as the Lions must face a 10-1 Titans team, hungry for revenge after losing their first game of the season.  Could the Lions really go 0-16?

31.  Chiefs  1-10

You know it is a rough year when your defense only has six sacks in eleven games.  The rebuilding process has been a very difficult one for Chiefs fans in 2008.  Can the Chiefs seek revenge against the rival Raiders in Week 13?

30.  Bengals  1-9-1

After another lopsided loss, Marvin Lewis is definitely on the hot seat in Cincinnati.  With Chad Johnson being benched for Week 13’s match up, T.J. Houshmandzadeh and company will have to shoulder the load against a brutal Ravens defense.  Housh’ has been plenty emotional over the past few weeks and against a top flight defense, let the temper tantrums continue!

29.  Rams  2-9

After two big upsets over the Cowboys and Redskins, the Rams have gone on to drop five of their last games in a row.  To make matters worse, Marc Bulger added another concussion to lengthy injury list.  Will Bulger be able to start in Week 13 or will the injury waiting to happen backup, Trent Green be thrust into action?

28.  Seahawks  2-9

One of the year’s largest disappointments, the Seahawks have won a pitiful two games on the season.  With Matt Hasselbeck back in action, he will have to face tough match ups against the Cowboys and Patriots over the next two weeks.

27.  49ers  3-8

T.O. had revenge against his former 49er team in Week 12.  The 49ers have now lost seven of their past eight games.  Mike Singletary has a lot of work to do as he now must face the Bills, Jets, and Dolphins over the course of the next three weeks.

26.  Raiders  3-8

Revenge, oh- sweet revenge in Week 12.  The Raiders broke out of their offensive funk in Week 12 and totaled up 318 yards of total offense as well as three touchdowns on the day to end a game drought without an offensive touchdown.  Now the Raiders will face the 1-10 Chiefs at home in hopes of going 2-0 against their division rival on the year.

25.  Browns  4-7

Welcome to the Brady Quinn show!  Quinn broke a finger on his throwing hand in Week 12 against the Texans and has been placed on the team’s injured reserve.  With Quinn out, Derek Anderson will resume his starting position for the Browns.  With Anderson back at the helm, he is stuck facing the Colts, Titans, and Eagles over the span of the next three weeks.

24.  Texans
