Current GPR.....49'ers Reign Supreme


It is time to reveal the latest Grandstander Power Rankings through NFL Week 15: 

  1. 49'ers 11-3 (last week: 1)
  2. Ravens 10-4 (3)
  3. Lions 10-4 (6)
  4. Eagles 10-4 (4)
  5. Dolphins 10-4 (5)
  6. Chiefs 9-5 (7)
  7. Bills 8-6 (unranked)
  8. Cowboys 10-4 (2)
  9. Browns 9-5 (8)
  10. Bengals 8-6 (10)
Comments:
  • The Bills move from unranked to #7 because of their play in recent weeks and their absolute crushing of the Cowboys  on Sunday.  They currently sit outside of playoff qualification, and I don't believe that they control their own destiny even if they win out, but tell me, would you want YOUR favorite team facing Josh Allen and his Bills in the opening round of the Playoffs?
  • The Cowboys drop from #2 to #8 because of, well, see the bullet point just above.  Do you trust the Cowboys at this point?
  • Eagles remain in the Top Four, but thy are hanging on by their finger tips after last night's loss to Seattle.  They are still probably a better team than the #3 Lions, but not over these last three weeks they aren't.
  • My nomination for Comeback Player of the Year:  Joe Flacco.  In just a few weeks, he has become the Browns greatest QB since they came back into the league in 1999, and he's only a few years younger than me.
  • The Niners and the Ravens appear, at this point, to be the clear favorites to meet in the Super Bowl, and as it so happens, they play against each other at 8:15 on Monday night.  Make sure that all of your Christmas Day company is out of the house by kickoff time.
  • Two 7-7 teams most likely to crack the Top Ten next week: the Rams and the Buccaneers.  For reasons that I can't explain, I find myself feeling pleased with the success that Baker Mayfield is finding for himself in Tampa Bay.
