NFL Power Rankings: 3 Teams That Will Fall After Impressive Wins

Ryan RudnanskyDec 7, 2011

A win's a win, but a loss is also a loss, and these winners will lose in Week 14.

Confused yet?

Good. Now you understand how three teams, in particular, will be feeling after Week 14.

Here are three teams that are coming off impressive victories and will fall just as fast.

3. Miami Dolphins (4-8)

The Miami Dolphins are showing signs of life all of a sudden after winning four of their last five games. They destroyed the Oakland Raiders in Week 13, 34-14.

Quarterback Matt Moore has actually been quite impressive. The defense is giving up just 18.3 points per game this season, which is good for fifth place in the NFL.

Nonetheless, I see an "upset" on the horizon in the form of the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles have been deplorable this season and are coming off a 31-14 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. But I still can't believe they are worse than the Dolphins. Plus, the Seahawks have a history of playing much better against better competition. (I actually predicted that loss for the Eagles.)

2. Carolina Panthers (4-8)

The Panthers have won their last two games and just blew out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Panthers face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14, and that team is coming off an infuriating 17-10 loss to the injury-plagued Houston Texans.

The Falcons can be an explosive offensive unit; the Panthers are giving up 27.0 points per game this season.

Cam Newton won't be able to outscore Matt Ryan.

1. Arizona Cardinals (5-7)

The Cardinals have been looking a lot better lately. They won four of their last five games, including one against the playoff-contending Dallas Cowboys in Week 13.

But they won't feel good after facing their NFC West foes, the San Francisco 49ers, who are 10-2 this season and just clinched the division.

The Cardinals are averaging 19.3 points per game this season. The 49ers are giving up a league-best 13.4 points per game after shutting out the St. Louis Rams.

Something tells me this won't go the Cardinals' way.
