My power rankings

[PARAM]

Through yesterday's games

1. Kansas City
Mahomes, Kelce and Reid. They are going to be tough to beat. Anywhere.

2. San Francisco
Won last ten, 11 including Wild Card game. They can run, stop the run, pass and stop the pass. The only way I see these guys getting beat before SB57 is if Purdy gets rattled.

3. Cincinnati
Probably the hottest team after SF. One of the best season performances for a SB loser, in years.

4. Philadelphia
Were running away with it until Hurts was injured. Is he healthy? Is he rusty? I believe they will have a date with SF in NFCCCG.

5. Buffalo
They have quite the gauntlet to weather since not getting the bye. Miami, Cincinnati or Jacksonville, then more than likely KC. I think they're Raven fans this weekend.

6. Minnesota
Like it or not, they find a way to win. And when they don't, they get blown out. But I believe they're better than #7-14.

7. Dallas
A very good D. A very good O. If they can perform like that, they can beat anybody. Will they? A tougher gauntlet to run than Buffalo. Tampa, Brady and the Refs, SF or Phiily, then probably the other in the NFCCCG.

8. Miami
A good offense when Tua is healthy. Better than most realize on defense. But Tua isn't healthy.

9. Baltimore
A great D. A good O when Jackson is healthy. He is not. They will be extremely lucky to get past Cincinnati

10. Tampa
They have a good D, the GOAT and usually the zebras. Though Brady has not been very good this year, many expect him to flip that switch now. I don't see it.

11. Jacksonville
An epic comeback in the Wild Card game showed they belonged. They have a good D, good STs and a decent offense. I don't think they get any farther but they should improve in 2023

12. NY Giants
Nobody gives them much love. But they are playing the multiple personality Vikings. If they get past them they will be in the same situation as the Jags.

13. LA Chargers
I had them ranked higher than Baltimore before that game last night. But when you blow a 27-7 halftime lead, you are who your record says you are.....and that is part of the record.

14. Seattle
The only reason they're not ranked lower is there are no other teams in the postseason. Well, they aren't anymore but the sad thing is, they didn't even deserve to be there anyway. Detroit got screwed.

I have to agree with KC at the top. But I'd give Buffalo more love than you do. Probably right behind SF. Josh Allen is tough to handle and he's got some weapons in Diggs and Knox.

I think Minny is a paper tiger. Nice winning record. But something about them seems vulnerable. Probably their pass defense. I think they win today but wouldn't be shocked if the Giants win.

Dallas has a history of choking in the playoffs. But I think they do have the horses to at least get past the first round. Philly has home field but another vulnerable team. Unless Hurts can return to his early season form. They do have some talent. But I don't see anyone in the NFC stopping the 49ers. I hate having to say that. Makes me feel like I'm going to throw up in my mouth.

 

[Ram65]

The Whiners Vs Eagles will be a good one. The Eagles at home will be hard to beat. I think Hurts will be ready.

KC over the Bengals In AFC. Should be another good one.

Your top 5 are all in the hunt.

 

[Loyal]

I think the Bengals upset the Bills. They were moving the ball on the Bills defense almost at will in the cancelled game. Joe Burrow is more clutch than Allen and the connection to Jamar Chase will be decisive.

It should be a great game. Concerns should be:
Will Allen try to do too much as he is prone to do?
Will the Bengals OL, missing a couple of starters be up to the task?
