After 18 weeks, the 2023 NFL Power Rankings look much different than in Week 1.
That's why we play the games.
Here's a look at the power rankings heading into Wild Card Weekend.
2023 NFL Power Rankings
1. Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens are the No. 1 seed in the AFC, with the projected MVP under center in Lamar Jackson.
2. San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco should be well rested as the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
3. Buffalo Bills
Some believed Buffalo would miss the playoffs at the season's mid-point. Instead, they won the AFC East.
4. Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys got the No. 2 seed in the NFC. That will allow them at least two home playoff games as long as they win in the NFC Wild Card round.
5. Miami Dolphins
Miami has struggled to beat teams above .500. That might be a problem in the playoffs...
6. Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions' fanbase is going crazy with tickets at Ford Field. The price of admission is super high right now, with the product on the field playing at a super high level.
7. Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs thrive in January. Don't get that mistaken.
8. Cleveland Browns
The Browns sat all of their players last week. They were dealing with a lot of injuries to begin with. So that rest should help Cleveland prepare for the AFC Wild Card round against Houston.
9. Pittsburgh Steelers
It's stunning how head coach Mike Tomlin always finds a way to get his team above .500.
10. Los Angeles Rams
The Rams will match up against the Detroit Lions in an exciting battle against former Rams quarterback Jared Goff.
11. Philadelphia Eagles
12. Houston Texans
13. Green Bay Packers
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
15. Seattle Seahawks
16. Indianapolis Colts
The Colts were super close to making the postseason with Gardner Minshew. The future is bright with Anthony Richardson.
17. Cincinnati Bengals
Bengals fans will get Joe Burrow back for the start of next season.
18. Jacksonville Jaguars
19. Chicago Bears
The Bears have the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft. If they choose to trade that pick, the Bears can start to really improve the roster for 2024-25.
20. New Orleans Saints
21. Tennessee Titans
22. Atlanta Falcons
Down goes Arthur Smith!
23. New York Giants
24. Las Vegas Raiders
25. Minnesota Vikings
26. Denver Broncos
27. New York Jets
28. New England Patriots
Will the Patriots move on from Bill Belichick after a 13-loss season?
29. Arizona Cardinals
30. Los Angeles Chargers
31. Carolina Panthers
32. Washington Commanders
Washington needs to make a significant move in the offseason. That move could be trading for the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft for a franchise quarterback like Caleb Williams.
