NFL Power Rankings: Looking at Teams With Most Momentum

Building some mo' right now is really all the matters when making a playoff push. Because we all know that regular season records don't mean jack-squat in the postseason.

Until then however, here are three teams who currently have the most amount of momentum and confidence heading into Week 11.

New England Patriots (6-3)

It may only be one win, but defeating the Jets on the road in the manner that New England did was big. The Pats now have control of their own destiny in the AFC East and have a solid shot at earning one of the top two seeds.

And the remaining schedule is quite favorable as well. New England doesn't play Buffalo until Week 17, however, the Bills are just 5-4 but also the team with the best record left for the Patriots.

That being said, it's not out of the question that New England finishes 13-3. Adding to it, we've also seen their downside, so worst case-scenario the Pats finish 11-5. Either way, they're at least getting a division title and one home playoff game.

Chicago Bears (6-3)

It may have taken the Bears about one-half of a season, but Mike Martz's west coast offense is beginning to pay dividends. Chicago is riding a four-game win streak and coming off a much needed win over the Lions in Week 10.

To that end, the defense has picked their game up, as they've only allowed 75 points in the last four games. This week the Bears begin a four game stretch against each AFC West team, which all are possible wins if Chicago keeps rolling along.

In any event, The Monsters of the Midway should finish around 10-6 or 11-5 and earn the NFC's No. 5 seed. And with that, The Windy City just ousted The Motor City for a playoff berth.

Dallas Cowboys (5-4)

Thanks to a sick schedule still remaining for the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys are in prime position to take control of the NFC East.

Big has won two straight, but are now looking like they've finally hit a rhythm to make some serious noise in the NFC. And with their next three games against Washington, Miami and Arizona, there's no reason why Dallas can't be 8-4 heading into a big showdown with the Giants.

The offense ranks in the Top 10 in passing and rushing, while the defense ranks No. 13 and No. 11 against the pass and rush, respectively. This is one damn good team if they catch fire before the postseason begins. However, let's withhold judgement as we've seen them crumble before.
