NFL Power Rankings – Week 11 (The A-List Edition)

The Colts remain on top of the NFL Power Rankings – Week 11 (The A-List Edition) just as I predicted last week (Click here to see our week 11 rankings predictions) The Colts – Patriots game answered all the questions as to why we here at A-List think the Colts are better than the New Orleans Saints.

The Colts though might no be on top for long as they face critical injures to key positions on their defense and desperately needs to get healthy, but at the end the Colts will have something to say about who goes to the Super Bowl.

The Bengals swept the Ravens and the Steelers and are now have an easy schedule (relatively) the rest of the way, Chad Ochocinco will definitely have more chances to get fined as the games become easier.

And congratulations to the Redskins I sincerely never thought they had it in them, but then again, it’s the NFL.

Here are the break down for week 11:

	11 (14)	Ravens	5-4-0	They need a big second half to earn a wild-card spot.

	13 (13)	Texans	5-4-0	In their one chance to show off in prime time — on ESPN’s “MNF” vs. the Titans — the Texans need to slow Chris Johnson.

	19 (20)	49ers	4-5-0	The Week 11 game against the Packers recalls fateful 2005 draft featuring Alex Smith, Aaron Rodgers.
	20 (21)	Panthers	4-5-0	This is a new team in recent weeks and I think Carolina should be ranked quite a bit higher than this.

	26 (24)	Bills	3-6-0	At least the Terrell Owens’ sideline blowouts should keep the second half of the season interesting.
	27 (28)	Chiefs	2-7-0	In the midst of an ugly season, a win over the Raiders still feels awfully good.
	28 (27)	Raiders	2-7-0	In the midst of an ugly season, a loss to the Chiefs still stings.
