NFL Power Rankings Week 13: Are New York Jets or New England Patriots No. 1?

NFL power rankings for Week 13 in the 2010 NFL regular season are here.

Or are there?

Last game: Lost 24-23 to the Browns

Last week's ranking: 32

The Panthers may be the lone team with double-digit losses in the NFL right now, but they have a budding star in running back Mike Goodson. Does this mean that DeAngelo Williams or Jonathan Stewart are trade bait?

There is a good chance of that this offseason.

Next game: At Seahawks

31. Cincinnati Bengals (2-9)

Last game: Lost 26-10 to the Jets

Last week's ranking: 31

Dhani Jones will be "tackling the globe" sooner than expected in his Travel Channel show, since the Bengals will not be making it to the postseason.

Next game: Home vs. Saints

30. Detroit Lions (2-9)

DETROIT - NOVEMBER 07: Detroit Lions team doctor Kyle Anderson checks the right shoulder of Matthew Stafford #9 of the Detroit Lions after leaving the game during the third quarter of the game at Ford Field on November 7, 2010 in Detroit, Michigan. The Je

Last game: Lost 45-24 to the Patriots

Last week's ranking: 30

Quarterback Shaun Hill may be putting up big numbers, but his 78.6 quarterback rating does not compare to Matthew Stafford's 91.3 rating. The Lions need Stafford back to win more than two games.

Next game: Home vs. Bears

29. Arizona Cardinals (3-8)

Last game: Lost 27-6 to the 49ers

Last week's ranking: 27

Isn't it time to have Derek Anderson take a seat on the bench? You can bet Cardinals scouts are out looking at college quarterback prospects right this moment.

Next game: Home vs. Rams

28. Buffalo Bills (2-9)

Last game: Lost 19-16 to the Steelers

Last week's ranking: 29

Blame who you want to Steve Johnson, but it was your hands that missed the ball, not some higher power who made you lose concentration. Just be happy that you are on the best 2-9 team in the NFL.

Next game: At Vikings

27. Denver Broncos (3-8)

Last game: Lost 36-33 to the Rams

Last week's ranking: 26

If your house is not up for sale in Denver Josh McDaniels, then you better find an agent to help you sell it right now. Your days are numbered in Colorado and, quite possibly, in the NFL as a head coach, too.

Next game: At Chiefs

26. Dallas Cowboys (3-8)

Last game: Lost 30-27 to the Saints

Last week's ranking: 22

Still have no clue how the Cowboys running game is ranked 27th in the NFL with the talent they have in the backfield. Upgrades on the offensive line will be coming this offseason.

Next game: At Colts

25. San Francisco 49ers (4-7)

Last game: Won  27-6 over the Cardinals

Last week's ranking: 28

Running back Frank Gore's broken hip only hurts the Niners' chances of winning the NFC West if Brian Westbrook is not the next to have a LaDainian Tomlinson resurgence, which seems to be the case after Monday Night Football.

Next game: At Packers

24. Minnesota Vikings (4-7)

Last game: Won 17-13 over the Redskins

Last week's ranking: 25

Brad Childress gets fired and the Vikings win. Now they have to hope that Adrian Peterson's injury will not keep him out of any games.

Next game: Home vs. Bills

23. Cleveland Browns (4-7)

Last game: Won 24-23 over the Panthers

Last week's ranking: 24

Running back Peyton Hillis may not be the most popular back in the AFC, but he is one of the most deserving to go the this year's Pro Bowl. Vote for him if you haven't already by clicking here.

Next game: At Dolphins

22. Oakland Raiders (5-6)

OAKLAND, CA - NOVEMBER 28: Jacoby Ford #12 of the Oakland Raiders is congratulated by fan after he scored a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on November 28, 2010 in Oakland, California. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Im

Last game: Lost 33-17 to the Dolphins

Last week's rankings: 19

Rookie speedster Jacoby Ford was the lone bright spot in the Raiders' loss to Miami. It was Ford's second 100-yard game in the NFL and he caught his first touchdown, too.

Next game: At Chargers

21. Seattle Seahawks (5-6)

SEATTLE - OCTOBER 24: Running back Marshawn Lynch #24 of the Seattle Seahawks rushes against the Arizona Cardinals at Qwest Field on October 24, 2010 in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)

Last game: Lost 42-24 to the Chiefs

Last week's ranking: 18

Hopefully those two undisclosed draft picks the Seahawks sent to the Bills for Marshawn Lynch are not high picks because he has yet to make much of on impact in the running game in seven weeks in Seattle.

Next game: Home vs. Panthers

20. Tennessee Titans (5-6)

HOUSTON - NOVEMBER 28: Cornerback Cortland Finnegan #31 of the Tennessee Titans is held back by an official after getting into a fight with Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium on November 28, 2010 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Bob Leve

Last game: Lost 20-0 to the Texans

Last week's ranking: 16

Cortland Finnegan smiling after getting hit twice by Andre Johnson was really classless. That made the fight look premeditated.

Next game: Home vs. Jaguars

19. Washington Redskins (5-6)

NASHVILLE, TN - NOVEMBER 21: Coach Mike Shanahan of the Washington Redskins watches his team against the Tennessee Titans at LP Field on November 21, 2010 in Nashville, Tennessee. The Redskins won 19-16 in overtime. (Photo by Grant Halverson/Getty Image

Last game: Lost 17-13 to the Vikings

Last week's ranking: 15

A Mike Shanahan-coached team is ranked 26th in rushing in the NFL and that is not very Shanahan-like. Look for the Redskins to shop for running backs in both free agency and in the draft in the offseason.

Next game: At Giants

18. St. Louis Rams (5-6)

DENVER - NOVEMBER 28: Quarterback Sam Bradford #8 of the St. Louis Rams makes a pass during the third quarter against the Denver Broncos at INVESCO Field at Mile High on November 28, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. The Rams defeated the Broncos 36-33. (Photo b

Last game: Won 20-0 over the Titans

Last week's ranking: 21

The Andre Johnson-Cortland Finnegan fight might have made headlines on Sunday, but running back Arian Foster is on pace for nearly 1,700 yards in only his second season and that should be the biggest headline in Houston. What will become of rookie runner Ben Tate, who has been on the injured reserve all year, in 2011? That is a scary backfield combo.

Next game: At Eagles

16. Indianapolis Colts (6-5)

Last game: Lost 36-14 to the Chargers

Last week's ranking: 11

Peyton Manning and the Colts are learning first-hand about the injury bug and how devastating it can be to a season. Look for the Colts to beef up their depth in many areas of the roster after this season.

Next game: Home vs. Cowboys

15. Jacksonville Jaguars (6-5)

Last game: Lost 24-20 to the Giants

Last week's ranking: 14

If you would have said the Jaguars would be tied for the AFC South lead with a 6-5 record before the season started, then you would have been made fun of like no other. Funny how things can happen in the NFL—that is what makes it such a dramatic and entertaining league.

Next game: At Titans

14. Miami Dolphins (6-5)

Last game: Won 33-17 over the Raiders

Last week's ranking: 20

Quarterback Chad Henne comes back to start and he helps his team win without Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall, which is even more impressive.

Next game: Home vs. Browns

Last week's ranking: 12

Even though they won, the Giants really need to get either receiver Steve Smith or Hakeem Nicks back soon to continue their fight for a chance to win the NFC East.

Next game: Home vs. Redskins

Last game: Lost 31-25 to the Bears

Last week's ranking: 3

Michael Vick may have thrown his first interception since 2006 this past Sunday, but that didn't effect his 106 quarterback rating much, and he still played a solid game in Chicago.

Last game: Won 19-16 over the Bills

Last week's ranking: 7

Mike Tomlin's Steelers barely got by the Bills in Week 12, and they need to play much better to overtake the Ravens for the AFC North title in Week 13.
