NFC Power Rankings Week 13

Reminder that power rankings are not just based on records. Team's recent performance is much more valuable to their current ranking than how they played in weeks 1-8 or so.

1. Dallas (11-1) - beat the only NFC contenders
   
2. Green Bay (10-2) - not as close to Dallas as Packer fans think
   
3. NY Giants (8-4) - struggling but still picked up win @Chi
   
4. Tampa Bay (8-4) - stays under the radar but has a 4 game win streak
   
5. Seattle (8-4) - getting better or not playing anybody good?
   
6. Minnesota (6-6) - very hot team that isn't just winning, they are dominating
7. Arizona (6-6) - beat a plucky Browns club, not bad
8. Carolina (5-7) - dominated SF, but good luck vs. Jax
   
9. Washington (5-7) - playoffs seem distant and really unimportant
   
10. Philadelphia (5-7) - I'm not impressed, but they are in the mix
    
11. Detroit (6-6) - the 10 win guarantee doesn't look too realistic Mr. Kitna
12. St. Louis (3-9) - Rams are looking competent again
    
13. Chicago (5-7) - time to cheer for Bears to win, beat Washington (get lower draft pick)
    
14. New Orleans (5-7) - cold, hot, and now cold again
15. San Francisco (3-9) - so bad, yet so scary for Vikes this week
    
16. Atlanta (3-9) - long season gets longer
