Week Seventeen NFL Power Rankings

The 2009 regular season is over and my power rankings have changed as much as Tiger Woods’ girlfriends.  The one constant has been the Colts at number one.  However, I’m sorry, if you don’t want to win your games…then down you go.  I know some Colts fans will say, “But look at Wes Welker!!”  First off, many of those same fans before the injury were poo pooing the decision.  Also, injuries can happen at any time.  Play hard to win the game, and DO NOT lose that edge.  Indy now has essentially four weeks between meaningful games.

The Chargers have won 11 straight.  As much it pains me to put whiney Phillip at the top, San Diego deserves it.  The Saints and Vikes round out the Top Four...then it is anyone’s guess.  I have the Eagles at five because of their post-season history.  Maybe it is too high for a team that didn’t even win the division.  However, I wasn’t about to put Dallas at five, and Welker’s injury kept me from sticking the Patriots there.

It is bizarre that there are three rematches in the post season from week 17.  It will be interesting how they play out.

I have had my fair share of good analysis (the Broncos being garbage), and some bad picks (the Browns being good).

Later on this week I will make my predictions of the NFL playoffs.  For now…here is my final power ranking.  As always, thanks for reading!

you're smoking crack... if Dallas isn't #1-3, then you're just biased.
