NFL Rankings - 25 Nov

New England rose to the top last week, then went out and validated it on Sunday, destroying the Detroit Lions 34-9 to earn their 7th win in a row. They have now won 4 in a row by at least 20 points, and 3 in a row over leaders of other divisions, and they have a chance to extend all of those streaks this weekend in Green Bay, which is #2 in the rankings again this week. Here are this week's full rankings:

There were some concerns about the Bills this week after their game had to be moved to Detroit due to heavy snowfall in Buffalo, and it also had to due with the fact that the Bills were unable to practice for most of the week, but they erased those concerns with ease yesterday, shooting down the Jets 38-3. The Bills play in one of the toughest divisions in the league, which means they have almost no chance at the playoffs, much like last year's Cardinals, but they are still a team to be feared.

The Arizona Cardinals are still undefeated against teams that didn't make the Super Bowl last year, but those two losses have been decisive, while most of their wins have been close. The Cards will still almost definitely make the playoffs, and have a great shot at a first-round bye in the playoffs, but it will be difficult for them to become the first team to ever play a Super Bowl in their home stadium, especially without Carson Palmer on the field.
