NFL Power Rankings Week 13: Division Standings and Latest 2020 Super Bowl Odds

Kristopher KnoxNov 25, 2019

With just one game remaining in Week 12, the NFL playoff race is coming into focus. There's still plenty of football to be played, but the real contenders are emerging, while the Miami Dolphins, Washington Redskins and Cincinnati Bengals have officially been eliminated.

At the top end of the spectrum, teams like the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots continue to assert their dominance. Are they the only teams with a legitimate shot at a title this year? Absolutely not. The middle tier is crowded in both conferences, and as we've seen in years past, any team can get hot and make a run through the postseason.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks are undoubtedly one of the best teams in football. They're only a wild-card team now because they happen to play in the same division as the one-loss 49ers. Ultimately, Seattle may prove to be the better team, as it's team that handed San Francisco its loss.

The biggest thing Seattle has going for it is quarterback Russell Wilson. A front-runner for league MVP, Wilson consistently finds ways to win, even when the rest of the team is having an off outing.

On Sunday, Wilson became the first quarterback in NFL history to lead his team to a winning season in each of his first eight years.

Resiliency is also another huge asset for the Seahawks. It hasn't always been pretty, but they keep grinding out tough victories, like Sunday's 17-9 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Seattle also happens to be undefeated on the road this season, and that experience could be huge if it's forced to enter the postseason as a wild-card team.

Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings may not have an MVP candidate at quarterback, but they have been getting spectacular play out of Kirk Cousins this season. Last year's prized offseason acquisition has thrown 21 touchdown passes, just three interceptions and has an impressive passer rating of 114.8. 

Cousins is not the only reason why Minnesota is dangerous, though. The Vikings have a defense that allows just 18.6 points per game and the league's fourth-ranked rushing attack (142.5 yards per game). 

Playing defense and running the ball is a proven formula that can win on the road in the playoffs.

Of course, the Vikings may not actually start the postseason on the road. The Green Bay Packers' loss to the 49ers on Sunday gave Minnesota a share of the NFC North lead. The Vikings are only a wild-card team now because of a head-to-head loss to Green Bay.

If the Vikings win out, they'll take the division and will have an excellent chance at a first-round bye. Minnesota plays Seattle next week and the Packers again in Week 16. Meanwhile, the 9-2 New Orleans Saints have a date with San Francisco in Week 14.

Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills may be the second-best team in the AFC East behind New England, but they could still be among the two or three best teams in the conference. They sit at 8-3 and have another shot at the Patriots in Week 16 on the road after playing at the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14.

If the Patriots stumble, Buffalo can still secure a first-round bye.

What makes Buffalo dangerous is its ability to run and to stonewall opposing offenses. The Bills rank fifth in rushing (139.2 yards per game) and have allowed just 15.7 points per game.

"We're one of the best defenses in the league," defensive tackle Jordan Phillips said, per Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. "We prove it again and again."

The big question mark for Buffalo is quarterback Josh Allen. Mobile and with arm strength to spare, the second-year gunslinger is capable of producing chunk plays in bunches, but consistency and accuracy remain issues.
