2023 NFL Power Rankings
1. San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers are 5.5-point favorites against the Ravens on Monday night. San Francisco is currently the best team in the NFL, with the Ravens rated as the second-best team. It just shows you how much better the 49ers are than every other team.
2. Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens are also 11-3, like the 49ers. A road win against San Francisco would open some eyes and push them into the No. 1 spot.
3. Miami Dolphins
Miami's a home favorite against the Cowboys this weekend. They're sitting at 10-4 on the season and are hopeful that Tyreek Hill will return to the field.
4. Buffalo Bills
A few weeks ago, Buffalo wasn't even going to make the playoffs. Now the Bills are 8-6 with a road game against the Los Angeles Chargers as 11-point favorites.
The Bills are so back.
5. Detroit Lions
Jared Goff just threw five touchdown passes in last week's win. While the offense might not perform as well against the Vikings, they'll more than likely do enough offensively to beat Minnesota.
6. Dallas Cowboys
Dallas dominates at home but struggles on the road. That's been the story all year. With a road game against Miami, Dallas fans are starting to worry.
7. Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles were probably overrated all this time. But a game against the Giants this week should help them get back on track.
8. Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs' dynasty might be dead. But every time we acknowledge that the Chiefs find a way to become relevant again.
9. Cincinnati Bengals
Jake Browning has the Bengals sitting at 8-6 with a chance to make the playoffs. This is one of the greatest stories in the NFL this year.
10. Cleveland Browns
Another big story is that Joe Flacco is 2-1 with the Browns since being added to the roster from the couch. The Browns have a lot of injuries defensively, but Flacco has done his part to keep them afloat.
11. Seattle Seahawks
Seattle's win against the Eagles has kept their playoff chances alive. Drew Lock was sensational when he was needed the most.
Geno Smith will likely take over as quarterback for Seattle's road game against the Titans on Sunday.
12. Indianapolis Colts
13. Houston Texans
Don't lose faith in the Texans. They're still 8-6 on the season after Case Keenum carried Houston to a 19-16 overtime win against the Titans. With Stroud expected to return, Houston is still a playoff contender.
14. Jacksonville Jaguars
15. Los Angeles Rams
16. Green Bay Packers
17. Denver Broncos
18. Pittsburgh Steelers
19. Tennessee Titans
20. New Orleans Saints
New Orleans has a consistent defense. However, the offense needs to play better. It did on Sunday against the Giants. Let's see if that can continue into this weekend on a short week against the Rams.
21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
22. Chicago Bears
23. Atlanta Falcons
You can't lose to the Panthers when fighting for a playoff spot.
24. Las Vegas Raiders
25. Minnesota Vikings
26. New York Giants
27. New York Jets
28. New England Patriots
29. Arizona Cardinals
30. Los Angeles Chargers
31. Carolina Panthers
Yeah, the Panthers won last weekend. It won't happen again this season.
32. Washington Commanders
