Week 16 NFL Power Rankings
WhatIfSports.com utilizes its NFL football simulation engine to present the most comprehensive, deterministic, and unbiased ranking of all 32 teams.
We simulated every possible match-up in the NFL 100 times, and used the winning percentages from those nearly 50,000 games to evaluate every team.
All 32 teams are ranked below with their average points for and against from the simulated games. Simulations are based on strength-of-schedule, adjusted stats and updated depth charts, so significant week-to-week changes could occur.
