NFL Power Rankings: Stock Watch for League's Top Teams

The stock watch for the top 10 teams in our Week 14 NFL power rankings:

Packers: Up

How can they be trending up, when they are already at the top? Well, they've beaten two teams in back-to-back weeks whom many thought would give the Packers their first loss of the season. Is 16-0 really going to happen again?

Ravens: Steady

There was no playing down to the competition on Sunday for the Ravens. Ray Rice went over 200 yards rushing, something the Ravens have done quite often to the Cleveland Browns over the years.

49ers: Steady

How good is that defense? They didn't allow the Rams to cross their 45-yard-line on Sunday in a shutout win. 

Saints: Up

The Saints are well on their way to ensuring they play a postseason game at home in the Superdome. Who wants to play them there in a prime-time game?

Steelers: Up

There's nothing like beating down the little brother in the division that has gotten all the attention. 

Patriots: Steady

The Pats didn't cover the crazy Vegas spread, but a win is a win when the defense plays that spotty.

Texans: Steady

Tempted to say "Up" for the Texans after winning their first game with T.J. Yates starting, especially considering they beat a tough Falcons team. But Yates under center down the stretch is still such a scary proposition to a team that would have been so tough to beat in the AFC with Matt Schaub. 

Cowboys: Down

Want to win your division and be in the conversation for Super Bowl contenders? Don't lose in Arizona to a team you should beat handily, then. 

Falcons: Down

If the Falcons end up on the outside looking in to the NFC playoff picture, they might point to Sunday's loss to a third-string quarterback as the defeat that hurts the most. 

Lions: Down

The Lions are one of the most undisciplined teams in recent NFL history, and it's a reflection of their aggressive, hot-headed coach. The goon squad Lions wouldn't make the playoffs if the season ended today.
