#1 Green Bay Packers (13-1)

The quest for the perfect season is officially over after the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers were stunned by a motivated Kansas City Chiefs team in Week 15. This loss took everyone by surprise as no one anticipated the Chiefs even putting up a fight against the Packers after the firing of head coach Todd Haley and veteran quarterback Kyle Orton getting his first start with his new team.

Despite the loss, the Packers are still the top dogs on these power rankings and will almost certainly stay there unless there is a collapse in the next two weeks. The Packers will face the arch division rival Chicago Bears on Christmas Day. Continue Reading…

Baltimore Ravens @ San Diego Chargers Sun. Dec. 18, 2011 8:20 p.m. EST

The Baltimore Ravens are arguably the best team in the AFC Conference this season. With Joe Flacco and company becoming a potent offense and the Ravens continuing to be an elite defense, Baltimore has taken the next step this season and as a result seems to have the AFC North division title wrapped up and a legitimate shot at contending for a Super Bowl title. Continue Reading…

New York Jets @ Philadelphia Eagles Sun. Dec. 18, 2011 4:15 p.m. EST

As arguably the most disappointing team in the NFL this season, the Philadelphia Eagles will come into Week 15 of the regular season with an ugly 5-8 record and no hope for a playoff run. Despite the end of the “Dream Team” season, Michael Vick and company will try to gain some momentum to end the season with some wins in the last three games. Continue Reading…

Even though Tebow has single-handedly led the Broncos from last place to first place in the AFC West division ahead of the arch rival Oakland Raiders, this week’s matchup against the 10-3 New England Patriots will be arguably their toughest test of the season.
