NFL Week 12 Power Rankings
By The Platinum Standard - Handicapper

Our NFL expert thinks that the holds are still the top team in the week 12 power rankings despite some solid games from the Saints in recent weeks.

The Colts are still the number 1 in the NFL Power Rankings for week 12 and you'll want to check our their betting odds for the upcoming schedule of games at Legends Sportsbook

Let's go through the notable teams in the top 12, listing the teams that are not that important to talk about. Full power rankings are listed below:
 
1. Colts (10-0)
Manning is something else. He and the Colts just find ways to win games in the 4th quarter. Upset could be in the making as the Texans always play the Colts tough. It is a road game for Indy, a place in which they will likely lose their first of the year. Colts won a close one at home against these Texans, and maybe it will be this week Manning's comeback luck runs dry. 

2. Saints (10-0)
 
Some say the Saints are pretenders, but they got a much needed blowout win to silence critics. This upcoming game with the Patriots is by far the biggest of the year. New England lost to the Colts, and should be able to pull this big game out with a win. Not looking great for the undefeated teams in week 12. 

3. Vikings (9-1)
Minnesota is quietly moving along, winning games rather easily. It will be interesting to see how well Favre and company play against a top rated team. They were handed their only loss against Pittsburgh, who really have not been impressive. They have their division locked up basically and should score a home game and a bye in the NFC playoffs.

4. Patriots (7-3)
The Patriots bounced back after a blown game against Indy. No surprise here. Look for New England to get their money's worth in New Orleans under the lights.
 
5. Chargers (7-3)
San Diego got revenge on Denver, who ironically was the last game they lost back in week 6. San Diego has won 6 straight and should take care of KC at home. The Chiefs have surprisingly hung in certain games with San Diego, and I would lean on the Chiefs against the spread in their match-up this weekend. 
 
6. Bengals (7-3)
It wasn't a surprise that the Bengals suffered a let down in Oakland. We saw that coming after a big win in Pittsburgh. This week, the Bengals can take out their frustration from last weekend on Cleveland, who comes off a high scoring output. That will not happen twice. Blow-out city in this one with or without Cedric Benson.
 
7. Cardinals (7-3)
Warner went down this past week, but is expected to start Sunday. Warner needs to stay protected if this team is to have any shot. We saw exactly why he is the starter instead of Leinert. If Warner finishes this one out in a confident manner, the Cards should post yet another win this weekend. Tennessee is hot so it won't be easy regardless.
 
8. Cowboys (7-3)
The Cowboys need to blow out Oakland Thursday. If they struggle in this home game against a team coming off a big win, no one will take them serious. I don't like Romo on the road, so don't get your hopes up in the postseason. Boys should roll this week but they are they same old 'Boys with or without T.O.

9. Steelers (6-4)

The Steelers squandered one too many opportunities against KC last week. Big Ben went down with a head injury, but it is KC. Pittsburgh has a few too many injuries and aren't on the top of their game offensively either. Pitt needs to finish 5-1 down the stretch to really guarantee a playoff berth. I just don't see it. In the AFC 10-6 does not guarantee anything. 

10. Eagles (6-4)
Philly picked up a big win in Chicago. The Broncos are falling fast giving way to the hotter team to take over in the top 10. The Eagles kept their playoff hopes alive with a win, and have a big task this week with a game at home against the Redskins. Big revenge angle here, Redskins will put up a better fight nearly getting double digits against the spread.
Here are the remaining power rankings for Week 12 NFL:
  • 11. Packers (6-4)
  • 12. Broncos (6-4)
  • 13. Giants (6-4)
  • 14. Jaguars (6-4)

  • 16. Ravens (5-5)
  • 17. Falcons (5-5)
  • 18. Texans (5-5)
  • 19. Dolphins (5-5)
  • 20. 49ers (4-6)
  • 21. Panthers (4-6)
  • 22. Seahawks (4-6)
  • 23. Jets (4-6)
  • 24. Bears (4-6)
  • 25. Chiefs (3-7)
  • 26. Bills (3-7)
  • 27. Redskins (3-7)
  • 28. Raiders (2-8)
  • 29. Lions (2-8)
  • 30. Rams (1-9)
  • 31. Buccaneers (1-9)
