Week 13 of the NFL season is upon and as I say every week we are starting to see the contenders and pretenders separate themselves. This week we saw the top 6 teams stay the same as the Chiefs, Eagles, Bills, Dolphins, Cowboys, and Vikings all won and we saw the Bengals and the 49ers move up a couple of spots with victories. I think looking at the league right now, I would say that those are your 8 contenders. And then we see the pretenders. The Ravens. The Ravens blew a late lead and lost to the Jaguars. Another late-game lead blown. How many late leads are they going to blow this season? Is Lamar playing him out of a 280-million-dollar contract? Wild. Nonetheless, they remain in the top 10. The Seahawks and Giants continue to fall back to Earth and continue to slide down the rankings. And big news, we have a team in the top 10 for the first time this season as the Washington Commanders move up to number 9 and while I don’t think they’re a contender, I do think they’re a fun team. Let’s get into this week’s power rankings.
