23. Packers 5-9
Since starting the season 4-3, the Packers have gone on to lose six of their last seven games. After their Week 15 meltdown to the Jaguars, do the Packers throw in the towel for 2008 or do their play to ruin the 8-6 Bears playoffs hopes in their Week 16 showdown?
22. Chargers 6-8
They’re alive! Not really, the Chargers fought back from their 10-21 deficit to beat a 2-11 Chiefs team in Week 15. As crazy as it may seem, the Chargers still have a chance to make the playoffs. The Chargers next step towards the playoffs; beating the Buccaneers on the road in Tampa Bay.
21. Bills 6-8
From 5-1 to 6-8 season letdown; the Bills have come a long way since the beginning of the season. The Bills are 0-3 with J.P. Losman at the helm and there are talks of benching him for Week 16.
The Bills have dropped seven of their last eight heading into Week 16 and could very possibly go 6-10 on the year after facing the Broncos and Patriots to end the year.
20. Saints 7-7
I am sure somewhere that Drew Brees would trade his pace to break Dan Marino’s single season total yardage record for a Saints Super Bowl berth. Unfortunately for Brees, the Saints getting into the playoffs at this stage of the game is looking very bleak.
Reggie Bush was placed on the injured reserve this week leaving Pierre Thomas and Deuce McCallister as the top two running back options in New Orleans. At least Brees and the Saints can take out their frustrations on the win-less Lions in Week 16.
19. Redskins 7-7
From early season hopefully to late season letdown, the Redskins have gone from a healthy 6-2 start to an ugly 7-7 record by Week 16. Jim Zorn seems to be taking his team’s play to heart as the Redskins have sunk to last place in the NFC East.
With a healthy Clinton Portis, the Redskins are a tough team to beat; without Portis, the team struggles completely.
18. Texans 7-7
They are hot, they are not, they are hot, and they are not...The Texans have been all over the place this season but seem to have found their stride heading into the last stretch of the season.
Now healthy, the team has gone on to win four in a row and look to make it five against the help-less Raiders this week.
17. Broncos 8-6
The Broncos are as streaky as they come; the whole AFC West is a mess if you look at it. The Broncos somehow have made it to the top, trading for new running backs countless times this season.
The Broncos better stay on top of their game with the Chargers looking to climb back into the mix if the Broncos get sloppy but do not fear Broncos fans; you take on J.P. Losman and the forgotten Bills in Week 16.
16. Bears 8-6
If not for their loss to their division leading rival Vikings in Week 13, the Bears would still be in the mix after winning three of their last four. The Bears have accomplished a lot this season by finding their future quarterback and running backs in Kyle Orton and Matt Forte respectively.
15. Cardinals 8-6
At No. 15 on our Power Rankings, some may think the Cardinals are sitting too low, on the other hand, when you give up four touchdown passes to Tarvaris Jackson and still are lacking a running game; you have plenty of room to improve.
With running back Tim Hightower hitting the rookie wall, will the Cardinals rely back on their veteran "Edge" to lead them into the playoffs?
