NFL Power Rankings Week 12

Let's get going with the NFL Power Rankings for Week 12. 

Here are some NFL Power Rankings for Week 12 (Last week's NFL Rankings is in brackets):

1 (1) Indianapolis Colts (10-0) Can the team go 16-0? Somewhere Mercury Morris is crapping his pants.

2 (2) New Orleans Saints (10-0) Don't believe me that the Saints are among the NFL elite. Listen to Bill Belichick, who said that the Saints are the best team in the NFL. Of course, Belichick may have said that to lull the Saints into a sense of security. Damn you, Belichick! You're so devious.

3 (3) Minnesota Vikings (9-1) Brett Favre for MVP. Uh, no. 

4 (5) New England Patriots (7-3)  Can we now get past the whole Belichick 4th and 2 call? Football people say it was a bad call; math nerds say it was the right call. I get it. 

5 (10) San Diego Chargers (7-3) The Chargers defense needs to stay out of bars and away from Tila Tequila. 

6 (4)  Cincinnati Bengals (7-3) The Bengals were stymied by the juggernaut that is Bruce Gradkowski.

7 (7) Dallas Cowboys (7-3) Their win over the Redskins felt like a loss. 

8 (8) Arizona Cardinals (7-3) That Beanie Wells is coming along nicely.

9 (11) Philadelphia Eagles (6-4) For once, Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb showed they can engineer a fourth-quarter comeback.

10 (6) Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) The Steelers really need to do something about special teams.

11 (13) New York Giants (6-4) Kevin Boss is a boss.

12 (9) Denver Broncos (6-4) It's safe to say that Kyle Orton isn't too worried about getting Wally Pipped by Chris Simms.

13 (16) Green Bay Packers (6-4) The defense finally showed up and won a game for the Packers.

14 (17) Jacksonville Jaguars (6-4) Seriously, how did the Jags end up 6-4?

15 (14)  Houston Texans (5-5) The Texans lose another heartbreaker.

16 (12) Atlanta Falcons (5-5) You have to think that NFL quarterbacks aren't afraid of the Falcons secondary.

17 (15) Baltimore Ravens (5-5) The Ravens season is falling apart. So what is the team working on? Creating their own version of the Terrible Towel. Yeah, that'll help. 

18 (18) Miami Dolphins (5-5) Ricky Williams scored two touchdowns thanks to a pranic healer. 

19 (23) Tennessee Titans (4-6) Whatever happens to the Titans, Kerry Collins is going to have to get used to holding a clipboard.

20 (19) New York Jets (4-6) Apparently Rex Ryan is going to be more involved in the offense. Is that a good thing?

21 (20) San Francisco 49ers (4-6) How long until Mike Singletary goes crazy again?

22 (21) Chicago Bears (4-6) At least Devin Hester's ass managed to provide some comic relief to the Bears ugly loss in front of a national TV audience.

23 (22) Carolina Panthers (4-6) Congrats, Carolina. You've scratched and clawed your way into becoming a middling team.

24 (24) Buffalo Bills (3-7) The Bills lost lineman Eric Wood in just about the most gruesome manner possible.

25 (27)  Kansas City Chiefs (3-7) Do you really pronounce Ryan Succop's name "suck-up."

26 (28) Oakland Raiders (3-7) Nnamdi Asomugha was an unsung hero shutting down Chad Ochocinco.

27 (25) Washington Redskins (3-7) Just when things look worse than ever, the Redskins lose Ladell Betts for the season.

28 (26) Seattle Seahawks (3-7) The Seahawks got just four rushing yards on Sunday. That's four more than I had and I spent Sunday at home wearing a Snuggie.  

29 (29) Detroit Lions (2-8) Who would have thought that the Browns and Lions would play the most entertaining game of the week?

30 (31) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-9) The Bucs can't stop anyone on the run. The Bucs are last in the NFL in run defense, allowing 168.9 yards per game.

31 (30) St. Louis Rams (1-9) Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, the Rams lose Marc Bulger for 4 to 6 weeks.

32 (32) Cleveland Browns (1-9) Brady Quinn didn't embarrass himself in what one writer called "the best UFL game of the year."
