12. Baltimore Ravens (7-6) (13) Justin Tucker booted the Lions out of first place and the Ravens into the #6 seed in the AFC with one powerful, 61-yard boot.

11. Chicago Bears (8-6) (15) Control their own playoff destiny the rest of the way. Should be an interesting couple of weeks.

10. Indianapolis Colts (9-5) (10) Could be a playoff preview this weekend with the Colts headed to Arrowhead to face the Chiefs, though Colts would get to host in January.

9.  Cincinnati Bengals (10-4) (8) Did you see the Bengals punter get leveled yet?

8.  New England Patriots (10-4) (6) Can the Pats get it together in time for the postseason?

6. Carolina Panthers (10-4) (5) HUGE game against the Saints in Charlotte this Sunday with a chance for the division on the line.

5. New Orleans Saints (10-4) (3) What happened in St Louis? Looking ahead to the Panthers?

4. Kansas City Chiefs (11-3) (7) Jamal Charles and a ridiculous 5-TD performance powered the Chiefs past the clueless Raiders.

3. San Francisco 49ers (10-4) (4) With Crabtree returning, it helps give Kaepernick some more targets in the passing game.

2. Denver Broncos (11-3) (1) The good thing about finishing up their final two games on the road is that they’re not in cold weather cities.

1. Seattle Seahawks (12-2) (2) Back in the top spot. Mission for the last couple of weeks is to lock up home field and stay healthy.
