NFL 2015

[Midwest Spy]

MS' NFL Power Rankings through Week 14:

1. CAROLINA (13-0). I'd say they're fairly hot. Clicking on both sides of the ball. It'll be a shock if they're not repping the NFC in SB 50.

2. NEW ENGLAND (11-2). Brady had Gronk and Edelman back at his disposal for NE's thrashing of a pretty good Texans club. Watch out.

3. ARIZONA (11-2). Got 2 big TD receptions against Minny that were kind of lucky. Will have to step up their game when they meet either SEA or CAR in the postseason.

4. SEATTLE (8-5). I guarantee neither CAR or ARIZ is looking forward to a playoff tilt with the Hawks.

5. CINCINNATI (10-3). They've had such a good season, but it'll most likely be one and done again as QB Dalton is out 3-6 weeks.

6. KANSAS CITY (8-5). Fortunate to prevail on Sunday against Chargers, but they've won 6 straight and could still win AFC West.

7. DENVER (10-3). Bad, bad loss at home to a pretty punchless Raiders squad. Does Manning come back? Interesting.

8. PITTSBURGH (8-5). Nice win @ Cincy. Knocked out their QB too (in a way). However, if playoffs started today, they'd be out.

8. GREEN BAY (9-4). Still not convinced this club is elite. Best a Matt Cassel-led Cowboys club at home. Enough said.

9. NY JETS (8-5). Hold final AFC Wild Card spot. Last 2 weeks, however: NE, @ Buff. Tough.

10. MINNESOTA (8-5). Nice effort @ ARIZ. Killed themselves with turnovers. Win their last 3 and they're NFC North champs.
