1. Atlanta Falcons – Atlanta will move down when they stop winning.  Until then they look to be as good as any team out there, and solid in all phases of the game.

.

2.  New England Patriots – Tom Brady is starting to show his fiery self again and will no doubt be ready to go against the trash talking Jets this weekend.

.

3.  New York Jets – The Jets are in third here because of the 9-2 teams I trust their QB the least.  They can gain some separation and show what they are made of by sweeping their New England series this weekend.

.

4.  Baltimore Ravens – The Baltimore Ravens are good.  We will know how good when they play Pittsburgh this coming weekend.

.

5.  New Orleans Saints – The Saints are showing why they were Super Bowl champs last season.  They snuck by Dallas on Thanksgiving and have had a long week to prepare for a struggling Bengals team.

.

6.  Philadelphia Eagles – The Eagles have been brought back to earth after they drubbed the Redskins, but Michael Vick is still playing great and this team has as many playmakers as any team in the league.

.

7.  San Diego Chargers – Is there a hotter team in football in November and December?  You would think a team in a warm climate would struggle in the cold but Phillip Rivers has this team on his shoulders.  Once again we ask…is this the year the Chargers break through?

8. Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers played their best team football the 4 weeks Big Ben was suspended.  Since his return they have won but have not looked great.  A big test awaits them this week against Baltimore.

.

9.  Chicago Bears – Their defense is fantastic and is carrying this team.  That could come in handy down the stretch and come playoff time.  Their offense is their weakness but at 8-3 who is complaining.

.

10.  Green Bay Packers – Obviously pretty banged up the Packers are getting better and despite a loss this last weekend to Atlanta are a team with a stud QB that no one wants to play.

NFL Power Ranking: Week 13 - NFL Mocks - NFL Mocks - Covering the 2012 NFL draft, Mock Draft Database, Scouting Reports, and Fantasy Football

1. New York Jets- It was a big win last night for the Jets.  Then came in to a game against the Vikings who stole the headlines by acquiring Randy Moss and still stay focused and pulled off the win.  They have a winning formula and that’s running the ball, playing strong defense, and not turning it over.

2. Baltimore Ravens- The Ravens keep on rolling and Joe Flacco keeps on developing.  The Ravens are much like the Jets in that they can run the ball, play good defense, and limit turnovers.  The only reason they are ranked #2 is because I believe the Jets secondary is a lot stronger than the Ravens.  At some point that might be exploited as a weakness.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers-  They have shocked a lot of people so far this year and now they get their franchise quarterback back.  With this defense and the return of Big Ben, nobody is going to want to face this team.

.

4. Atlanta Falcons-  This team as quietly put themselves at the top of the NFC and look every bit the part.  They have won a few ugly games but a win is a win and that’s all that matters.  Matt Ryan is continuing his asention to the top of the quarterback ranks.

.

5. Chicago Bears-  Speak about ugly wins!  The Bears quarterbacks combined for 51 passing yards and 4 interceptions!  However, this defense looks to be stronger than every and it was nice to see another player emerge opposite Julius Peppers.  Idonije posted a career high 3 sacks in the win and it looks like the Bears will be getting Culter back for next weeks game.

.

6.  New England Patriots-  Does anyone really feel that the Patriots will miss Randy Moss all that much?  Moss is a great player but I think the Pats have a solid plan and they know how to win football games.  Look for New England to spread the ball around more and get others involved in the offense.

7. Kansas City Chiefs- The Chiefs suffered their first loss but they still played very well against a good Colts team.  The defense is for real and they will be able to keep this team in a lot of football games.  They just need to find a way to score points consistently.  The  pressure is going to start to pick up for quarterback Matt Cassel.

8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Nobody expected this team to be any good this year, including me.  However, they have been able to put together a nice start to the season and yesterdays win was a big one.  I have to admit that Josh Freeman is well ahead of where I expected him to be at this point in his career.

9. Indianapolis Colts-  The Colts had a good win against the Chiefs and did so by limiting the Chiefs rushing attack.  However, things just don’t seem to be clicking on offense and the Colts have struggled to protect Peyton.  This will be something that other teams pick up on!

10. Washington Redskins- Wins like the one the Redskins had yesterday are ones that could get a team on a good role.  The defense played well all game and the offense responded when it had to.  They should have some momentum going forward after those big wins against the Packers and Eagles.
