NFL Rankings - 11 Nov

Denver didn't like dropping from the top spot last week, so they went out and destroyed Oakland on Sunday to punch their ticket back to the top, where they had spent the previous 4 weeks. Kansas City followed their division rivals in passing the Pats as well as they also won on the road, taking out Buffalo, a team very much in playoff contention still. Here are this week's full rankings:

Just as I predicted two weeks ago, the Green Bay Packers came back with a vengeance this week, completely embarrassing their biggest rival, the Chicago Bears, on Sunday night. The game was basically over by halftime, as Aaron Rodgers threw 6 touchdowns in the first half while leading the Pack to a 42-0 lead at the break, and they only played the second half because the Bears decided to come back onto the field. Next week's game against Philly should be a lot of fun.

Seattle has won 3 straight for the first time all season, and while all 3 have come against some of the worst teams in the league, the momentum they have gained could not come at a better time for the Seahawks, who play teams in playoff contention for the next 6 weeks in a row. This week they head to Kansas City to face a hot Chiefs team in a hostile environment.

The New Orleans Saints dropped back out of the top 10 this week following their first home loss of the season, an overtime heartbreaker to the 49ers. Despite having a losing record so far, the Saints will almost definitely make the playoffs, as they are in the worst division in the league, without a single team above .500 and the two worst teams in my rankings right now.
