NFL Power Rankings Week 16: Dallas Cowboys and Playoff Contenders That Will Fail

The NFL season is drawing to a close. While I dry my eyes of the tears, it’s time to break down the power rankings for Week 16.

Teams like the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers are as overrated as you can get, and the beatings they are handed this week will prove their worthlessness.

All of the following teams will pull up lame at the regular season finish line and be bounced in the first round of the playoffs—if they even make it!

Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys have been the quintessential Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde team this season. With that being said, this week will breed nothing but sadness to Cowboy nation.

Division rival Philadelphia Eagles are as hot as any team in the NFL right now, and their hunt for a possible playoff spot starts with the beating they will put on the Cowboys on Saturday.

While the Eagles may miss the playoffs this season, they will make sure they play spoiler to their hated division foes.

New York Giants

The New York Giants control their own playoff fate, but their rivalry game with the New York Jets means they will walk away with a loss this week.

While the Giants offense has been excellent all season, it’s the defense that has turned into the Achilles' heel for Big Blue.

When the Giants lose this week, they will watch their playoff hopes fly out the window unless the rest of the NFC East fails as well.

San Francisco 49ers

With their spot in the playoffs secured, the San Francisco 49ers players that haven’t been in this position before will start to mail in their effort.

The Seattle Seahawks are not a team to take lightly, but San Francisco’s nonchalant attitude will see them be beat down on Saturday and lose their first-round bye.

If San Francisco loses their first-round bye, they will be bounced right away. The only way the 49ers make it to the second round is if they have the bye.
