**Team (record) (W/L streak) (aggregate score from individual power rankings) +/- movement in rankings
1. Green Bay Packers (13-3) (W5) (4) +0
Cole Smithson: Number one seed in the league for a reason. The connection between Aaron Rodgers and Devante Adams is unquestionably one of the best in NFL history. Will this team get out of their own way come January?
2. Kansas City Chiefs (11-5) (L1) (9) +0
Cole Smithson: The offense has had flashes of its former greatness, but has lacked consistency. I want to see how their defense holds up down the stretch, but they can beat anyone with their trio of Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (12-4) (W2) (12) +1
Cole Smithson: Tom Brady is going to have to overcome a lot of missing pieces, but I'm not going to be betting against the Bucs in the playoffs
4. Los Angeles Rams (12-4) (W5) (19) +2
Cole Smithson: This team has righted the ship and won a lot of games in spite of Matthew Stafford recently. I worry they won't be able to overcome the turnovers in the playoffs, but if he can play clean they will have a shot to get to the big dance
5. Cincinatti Bengals (10-6) (W3) (23) +8
Cole Smithson: Hottest team in the league right now. Already thinking about how I'm going to tell my grandchildren about Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase. Something absolutely special is brewing in Cincinnati and their defense is tough
6. Dallas Cowboys (11-5) (L1) (25) +2
Cole Smithson: Inconsistency is the biggest problem in Dallas, but they have a star at every position group. Dak Prescott needs to overcome some recent struggles, but if their defense makes a couple of plays every game it won't matter
7. Arizona Cardinals (11-5) (W1) (27) +0
Cole Smithson: I have no idea what to expect from Kliff Kingsbury in the playoffs. Kyler Murray will always give this team a chance to compete and they have playmakers all over their defense
8. New England Patriots (10-6) (W1) (29) -5
Cole Smithson: This is a much better season than I was expecting from the Patriots, but they might have already hit their ceiling. The rushing attack and defense will keep them in playoff games though
9. Tennessee Titans (11-5) (W2) (37) +6
Cole Smithson: They are getting back on track and Derrick Henry is set to return in the playoffs. Mike Vrabel deserves a lot of credit keeping this team going while dealing with so many players missing games
10. Buffalo Bills (10-6) (W3) (37) +0
Cole Smithson: Josh Allen's struggles as a thrower have been covered up by this team figuring out their running game down the stretch. They need Allen to be clean in the playoffs if they don't want to exit early
11. Indianapolis Colts (9-7) (L1) (42) -6
Cole Smithson: The Colts have a dominant offensive line and running back. They also have Carson Wentz who I am not ready to trust yet
12. Los Angeles Chargers (9-7) (W1) (52) -1
Cole Smithson: This team is in danger of missing the playoffs because they lost to the Texans. I still like them, but don't think I've forgotten Justin
13. San Francisco 49ers (9-7) (W1) (53) -4
Cole Smithson: Trey Lance is in now and playing alright for this rookie class, but quarterback is not the position to be figuring out in January
14. Philadelphia Eagles (9-7) (W4) (58) +2
Cole Smithson: The Eagles are so much fun right now. Best rushing attack in the league and a quarterback who can do just enough with his arm. I'm glad they're in the playoffs and I think no one wants to play them right now
15. Las Vegas Raiders (9-7) (W3) (63) +7
Cole Smithson: The Raiders have bounced back from a midseason slump to have a shot at the playoffs in Week 18. As a Raiders fan I am so happy with this team win or loss. Hope has not been the theme of the season
16. Miami Dolphins (8-8) (L1) (66) L1
Cole Smithson: The seven game win streak was cute, but they didn't play anybody. The Tua evaluation is also hard to do, but I like a lot of what this team brings to the table
17. Baltimore Ravens (8-8) (L5) (68) -5
Cole Smithson: The Ravens could've flown high if their wings weren't clipped from training camp on. I'm looking forward to what a healthy team can do next season
18. Pittsburgh Steelers (8-7-1) (W1) (71) -1
Cole Smithson: Big Ben got to leave on a high note by not having a losing season yet again. TJ Watt might be better than his brother and Mike Tomlin is football Jesus
19. Cleveland Browns (7-9) (L3) (76) -1
Cole Smithson: I'm disappointed Baker Mayfield didn't get the surgery much earlier. So much talent on this team, but they were torpedoed by his play
20. New Orleans Saints (8-8) (W1) (78) +0
Cole Smithson: A team that probably would've been awesome if they had their former number one overall pick playing quarterback and not their tight end who's really good on special teams
21. Minnesota Vikings (7-9) (L2) (79) -2
Cole Smithson: The Vikings have been shot in the foot by Kirk Cousins a number of times, but never so bad as what happened this week. Shout out Justin Jefferson for keeping how mad he must be quiet publicly
22. Seattle Seahawks (6-10) (W1) (92) +3
Cole Smithson: I'm going to miss the Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll era, but all good things must come to an end
23. Atlanta Falcons (7-9) (L1) (93) +1
Cole Smithson: This team has lost a lot of the sparkle it had as a fun bad team early in the season. I will always remember the first 12 weeks of Cordarrelle Patterson
24. Chicago Bears (6-10) (W2) (97) +2
Cole Smithson: Matt Nagy is ending his Bears tenure on a positive note. I really enjoyed these late season Andy Dalton and Nick Foles performances
25. Washington Football Team (6-10) (L4) (98) -4
Cole Smithson: This team was bitten badly by the injury bug starting in Week 1 and I feel like we all have forgotten Ryan Fitzpatrick was supposed to be the guy. What would they have looked like with him at the helm?
26. Denver Broncos (7-9) (L3) (98) -3
Cole Smithson: Drew Lock makes me not like watching football sometimes. Too much talent on this roster to waste with another year of Vic Fangio
27. Houston Texans (4-12) (L1) (112) +3
Cole Smithson: Have become a watchable team recently and I'm really impressed with Davis Mills. Shout out Brandin Cooks for his 6th 1000 yard receiving season
28. Carolina Panthers (5-11) (L6) (112) -1
Cole Smithson: God can the season please end a week early for the Panthers? This team is a comedy of errors and horrendous quarterback play
29. New York Jets (4-12) (L1) (112) +2
Cole Smithson: Zach Wilson has really shown some things recently and the team rallies around their head coach Robert Salah
30. New York Giants (4-12) (L5) (120) -1
Cole Smithson: Giving the Jaguars a run for their money over most boring team. I think if they played each other the NFL might not send camera crews or a broadcast team
31. Detroit Lions (2-13-1) (L3) (122) -3
Cole Smithson: This team is out there purely for pride and have honestly become fairly fun to watch. Some pieces for the future might be showing themselves in this late season stretch
32. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-14) (L8) (128) +0
Cole Smithson: I'll say what I said last power rankings because the 50-10 loss was dreadful. I'd rather be on a fun team that loses 17 games than be on a team this boring and win two
