Final rankings below!
1. Carolina Panthers: 470
Last Week: 2
Notes: Back in the #1 spot after a win and Cardinals loss.
2. Arizona Cardinals: 388
Last Week: 1
Notes: The Cardinals looked terrible against the Seahawks. They at least have the bye week to sort out any issues from that game.
3. New England Patriots: 325
Last Week: 3
Notes: The Patriots all of a sudden look very beatable over their last 6 games, going 2-4. Their dominance the first 10 games keeps them at the #3 spot, but they look like a team who will struggle against whoever they end up playing in the divisional round.
4. Cincinnati Bengals:315
Last Week: 4
Notes: The match up against the Steelers will be a great one. They were 1-1 during the year and lost their home match up against them.
Last Week: 6
Notes: The Seahawks rebounded in a big way with a dominant performance over the Cardinals. Even with the lower record and being 3 lower seeds, the Seahawks look like a much better team than the Vikings.
6. Kansas City Chiefs: 260
Last Week: 5
Notes: The Chiefs end the season with the longest active winning streak (10 total).
7. Denver Broncos: 234
Last Week: 7
Notes: Two weeks ago, there was a chance the Broncos weren't making the playoffs. Now they have home field advantage throughout the AFC.
8. Pittsburgh Steelers: 215
Last Week: 10
Notes: The Steelers sneak their way into the playoffs with a Jets loss and a win over the Browns.
9. Minnesota Vikings: 213
Last Week: 11
Notes: A nice win by the Vikings that helps them claim the NFC North and #3 seed.
10. New York Jets: 175
Last Week: 8
Notes: The best team to not make the playoffs. Fitzpatrick looked mediocre against the Bills and did not handle the pressure of playoff implications well.
11. Green Bay Packers: 168
Last Week: 9
Notes: They have a favorable match up against the Redskins, but will be a tough game for the struggling Packers.
12. Houston Texans: 105
Last Week: 12
Notes: The Texan win the AFC South after taking 3 in a row.
13. Washington Redskins: 92
Last Week: 13
Notes: The lowest of the playoff teams, but don't count the Skins out. They've won 4 in a row and face the Packers to start the series at home (where they are 6-2).
14. Buffalo Bills: 64
Last Week: 15
Notes: While a disappointing season for the Bills, Rex has got to feel good about knocking the Jets out of the playoffs.
15. Atlanta Falcons: 47
Last Week: 14
Notes: 8-8 wouldn't be viewed as terrible for the Falcons entering the 2015 season, but after their red hot start it's a huge disappointment.
16. Detroit Lions: -32
Last Week: 21
Notes: Going 6-2 in the 2nd half of the season might save Caldwell's job, especially after going 11-5 the prior year. Think he gets one more year.
17. Indianapolis Colts: -33
Last Week: 19
Notes: Pagano is safe and deservedly so. With Luck back next year, this team should be back in the playoffs.
18. Philadelphia Eagles: -35
Last Week:20
Notes: The Eagles are 1-o without Chip. Pat Shurmur likely won't get the job despite the win.
19. Oakland Raiders: -43
Last Week: 17
Notes: Expect better things from the Raiders in 2016.
20. New York Giants: -44
Last Week: 18
Notes: The Giants lose in typical Giants fashion. Coughlin "resigns" bringing an end to a great era despite mediocrity over the last couple of seasons.
21. New Orleans Saints: -45
Last Week: 23
Notes: Will be interesting to see if Payton stays on next year.
22. St. Louis Rams: -48
Last Week: 16
Notes: Fisher is safe despite not having a winning season in four seasons with the Rams.
23. Chicago Bears: -87
Last Week: 24
Notes: The Bears lose to the Lions and end up last in the division.
24. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: -92
Last Week: 22
Notes: From 6-6 to 6-10. Not a good way to end the season.
25. Miami Dolphins: -114
Last Week: 27
Notes: Don't expect Campbell to stay on as head coach next year.
26. Jacksonville Jaguars: -137
Last Week: 25
Notes: Bradley gets one more shot next year. If Luck is healthy next year, this team has no shot.
27. Baltimore Ravens: -139
Last Week: 26
Notes: They couldn't pull off the upset two weeks in a row.
28. San Diego Chargers: -177
Last Week: 28
Notes: McCoy is safe even after the Chargers have one of their worst seasons in franchise history.
29. Dallas Cowboys: -187
Last Week: 29
Notes: If Romo is healthy for all of 2016, expect the Cowboys to be back in the playoff picture.
30. San Francisco 49ers: -207
Last Week: 30
Notes: Tomsula is gone after only one season and finishing 5-11.
31. Tennessee Titans: -252
Last Week: 31
Notes: It will be interesting to see who ends up as coach of the Titans.
32. Cleveland Browns: -285
Last Week: 32
Notes: Pettine is gone after two seasons. No matter who is coach, if they don't make major upgrades this will be a subpar team next year.
