NFL Power Rankings 2025: Los Angeles Rams on top in Week 13 | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

WEEK 13, POWER RANKINGS PRESENTED BY OUR FRIENDS AT TOYOTA. THE RAMS ARE STILL NUMBER 1, AFTER DISMANTLING THE TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS BUT THE COLTS LOSE AND THE EAGLES A LITTLE BIT. I THOUGHT ABOUT PUTTING THE PATRIOTS AHEAD OF THE BRONCOS BUT IT’S NOT LIKE THEY BLEW OUT THE BENGALS. LIKE THE BRONCOS WERE OFF THE BRONCOS. JUST BENEFIT FROM THE FACT THAT THE TEAM IN FRONT OF THEM. LOST. I HAD TO DROP THE COLTS. BEARS SEEM DROP THE EAGLES. AT 7 LYONS BEHIND THEM BY 1. THIS IS GETTING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT. USUALLY IT GETS EASIER AS MORE GAMES ARE PLAYED. THIS IS GETTING MORE DIFFICULT. WELL I THINK IT’S A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE OF LIKE WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IT’S LIKE, WE KNOW, KIND OF WHO THE GOOD TEAMS ARE AND THEN WE HAVE THIS NEXT GROUP OF TEAMS WHERE WE GO. WAIT, THERE’S A LOT OF POTENTIAL. THERE’S SOME GOOD TEAMS THAT AREN’T PLAYING TO THAT POTENTIAL. THERE’S SOME TEAMS THAT ARE REALLY GOOD IN 1 AREA BUT THEN OH WAIT THERE’S ANOTHER AREA OF THEIR TEAM. I’M REALLY NOT SURE ABOUT AND I HEAR YOU, RIGHT? I MEAN, I FEEL LIKE WE’VE KIND OF SAID THAT A BUNCH OF WEEKS WHERE WE GO. OKAY, 1 THROUGH 6 OR 7. ALL RIGHT, WE GOT THAT. BUT MAN, 8 THROUGH 16 IS CRAZY IN THAT IN THAT WAY. AND IT DOES IT SEEMS LIKE IT IT CAN MOVE AROUND AND AND QUITE SOME WAY ON A WEEK TO WEEK BASIS. SO YOU ALMOST PUT THE PATRIOTS IN FRONT OF THE BRONCOS. YOU SAID, DID I HEAR YOU CORRECTLY THERE? I DIDN’T ALMOST, I THOUGHT I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. I THOUGHT ABOUT IT BUT IT’S LIKE THEY THEY AGAIN THEY THEY LET THE BENGALS HANG AROUND. AND AND I IT JUST I COULDN’T JUSTIFY IT. YEAH. OKAY. I JUST REALLY STRUGGLED WITH THE TOP 7. YEAH, OKAY. WELL NO I DIDN’T STRUGGLE WITH NUMBER 1. I STRUGGLE WITH EVERYONE. AFTER NUMBER 1. ALL RIGHT. OKAY, ALL RIGHT. AND AND ON THAT, YOU KNOW, I GUESS THE I DON’T REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ANYTHING YOU GOT IN YOUR TOP 6 ARE THERE, I I THINK THE FIRST 1 I QUESTIONED IS THE 1 YOU BROUGHT UP DO WOULD I HAVE PUT THE BEARS IN FRONT OF THE LIONS? I KNOW THEY’RE LEADING THE DIVISION AND I KNOW THEIR RECORDS BETTER BY 1 GAME RIGHT NOW BUT I DON’T KNOW IF I FEEL THAT THE LIONS BUT I LISTEN, I GET IT. I’M JUST SAYING, THAT’S THE FIRST THING I LOOKED AT WHEN I LOOKED AT WENT, HUH, I’M NOT SURE WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE THERE. I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD THE LIONS IN FRONT OF THE BEARS WHEN IT CAME TO THAT I JUST FEEL LIKE RIGHT NOW, THE BEARS HAVE THE BETTER OVERALL OPERATION, THEY’VE GOT THE BETTER RECORD, THEY’VE WON 8 OUT OF 9 AND THEY JUST EACH AND EVERY WEEK, THEY HAVE A PLAN FOR WINNING THE GAME AND THE FACT THAT THEY MANAGED TO BEAT THE STEELERS ON A DAY THAT FELT LIKE A STEELERS DAY. ANYTIME, THERE’S 1 OF THOSE DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWNS AND TJ WATTS DOING HIS FOOT THROUGH THE DOOR MOVE. UH OH HERE WE GO. STEELERS ARE GOING TO WIN. AND YEAH, THAT THE BEARS 8 8 8 OUT OF 9 WINS AND THIS IS THEIR BIG TEST. THEY’RE PLAYING THE TEAM RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM THIS WEEKEND AND IF THEY WIN IN PHILADELPHIA, THEN THEY HAVE TO BE TAKEN. SERIOUSLY. DEFINITELY WE’LL BE DOING THE PICKS PODCAST LATER BUT OBVIOUSLY I I’M GOING TO BE INCLINED TO GO WITH THE EAGLES BECAUSE THEY’RE THE MORE PROVEN COMMODITY HERE, BUT THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BEARS. YEAH, IT IT IS. I I MEAN, I’M I’M REALLY EXCITED FOR IT. UH, THE BEARS, OF COURSE HAVE WEAPONS. THEY GOT A GOOD OFFENSIVE SYSTEM. WE KNOW THAT RIGHT? CALEB WILLIAMS CAN MAKE SOME PLAYS THAT GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE PLAYBOOK AT TIMES. THE, THE DEFENSE OF THE BEARS, CAN THEY SLOW THE EAGLES DOWN? AND AND, YOU KNOW, MAKE THE CONTINUE TO LOOK KIND OF DYSFUNCTIONAL. THAT’LL BE A BIG QUESTION. I THINK THE OTHER INTERESTING THING ABOUT YOUR RANKINGS, RIGHT. I I YOU GOT A TEAM, YOU GOT 3 TEAMS THERE AT 1314 AND 15, THAT I GO, THEY COULD GO TO THE SUPER BOWL IN THE AFC THAT THAT’S TO ME, WHAT’S IN KRAZY. AND I’M NOT SAYING YOU’RE AT WRONG ABOUT WHERE YOU HAVE THEM RANKED. I, I UNDERSTAND IT TOTALLY BUT I LOOK AT AND, YOU KNOW, RIGHT? I MEAN I THE RAVENS ARE GOING LIKE THIS, THEY’RE, THEY’RE WHAT IS IT 5 IN A ROW? 6 IN A ROW AND THEIR OFFENSE IS REALLY PLAYING B MINUS FOOTBALL. RIGHT NOW I I GOT TO FEEL THAT’S GOING TO CHANGE HERE AT SOME POINT, BUT THEY HAVEN’T PLAYED GOOD OFFENSE SINCE LAMAR GOT BACK AND THEN YOU KNOW MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE HOUSTON. TEXANS DOES IT? DO I NEED TO SAY ANYMORE AFTER WHAT EVERYBODY SAW LAST THURSDAY NIGHT, RIGHT? I MEAN, THEIR DEFENSE IS INCREDIBLE. THEY’RE THE KIND OF DEFENSE LIKE THE BRONCOS OF 2015 AND THE SEAHAWKS OF 2013, RIGHT? THOSE GREAT, THE 20, RA THE 20 RAVENS, WHERE YOU GO, IF THEY GET IN THE PLAYOFFS, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT AND THEIR OFFENSE IS GETTING BETTER, IT’S NOT GREAT EVEN BETTER WITH CJ STRAT AS WE KNOW. SO THAT’S ANOTHER PART OF YOUR POWER RANKINGS. I FIND REALLY FASCINATING. THIS YEAR IS THAT THE AFC’S GOT 2 OR 3 TEAMS THAT ARE DOWN THE LIST WHERE I’D GO THE AFC AIN’T THAT STRONG AND THOSE 3 TEAMS RIGHT THERE. I YOU KNOW CAN MAKE SOME BIG WAVES IN THE IN THE AFC PLAYOFFS I DID MOVE THE CHIEFS UP 5 SPOTS AFTER THEY BEAT THE COLTS WHO HAD BEEN NUMBER 2. EVERY WEEK I GET LOBBIED BY CHIEFS FANS WHO WANT TO POINT OUT, ALL THESE DIFFERENT METRICS AND ODDS AND OTHER PEOPLE’S POWER RANKINGS. IT’S LIKE WIN MORE GAMES. THAT’S HOW THAT’S THE KEY. THAT’S IT’S, IT’S VERY COMPLICATED. IT’S VERY NUANCED WIN, MORE GAMES AND UP YOU GO. IT’S A REFLECTION OF WHAT YOU’VE DONE. IT IS NOT A PREDICTOR. IT IS A REWARD FOR WHERE YOUR FRANCHISE CURRENTLY IS. AND IF YOU WANT TO GO UP, YOU WIN 1 LAST POINT AS WELL. BECAUSE FORGET ABOUT THE BACK HALF. WHO CARES ABOUT THE BACK HALF AT THIS POINT, THEY’RE DONE. THEY’RE COOKED. I MAYBE THE COWBOYS CAN RISE UP, MAYBE THE STEELERS CAN GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER. THE BUCCANEERS. HERE’S HERE’S THE 1. YEAH, THE RAMS ARE CLEARLY THE BEST TEAM RIGHT NOW, THERE’S NO DEBATE. THEY’RE CLEARLY NUMBER 1, NO WAY, NO WAY BUT YOU’RE LOOKING AT THE AT. IN THE 49ERS, IN THE POSTSEASON. I KNOW THE 49ERS ROLL INTO SOFI STADIUM AND THOSE FANS TAKE THAT PLACE OVER THE 49ERS ARE GOING TO RELISH MORE THAN USUAL ENDING. THIS MAGICAL RUN BY THE RAMS AS THE NUMBER 1 SEED AND THEY DON’T WANT THE RAMS SHOWING UP FOR THE SUPER BOWL IN THEIR STADIUM. I MEAN, I FOR AS GOOD AS THE RAMS ARE AS LONG AS THEY DON’T HAVE TO PLAY THE 49ERS, THE RAMS WILL BE FINE, BUT IF THEY HAVE TO PLAY THE 49ERS OR THE SEAHAWKS THAT THAT SEASON. HOWEVER, IT ENDS UP 15 AND 2 14 AND 313 AND 4. IT COULD ALL GO JUST LIKE THAT. YEAH. IF THEY FACE 1 OF THOSE DIVISION RIVALS, WELL, THE THE GOOD THING FOR THEM AS LONG AS THEY STAY AS THE NUMBER 1 SEED, THEY’LL GO. HEY, 49ERS AND EAGLES. YOU GOT TO PLAY IN THE FIRST ROUND. AND OKAY, THAT’S GOING TO ELIMINATE 1 OF THE PAINS IN THEIR ASSES, RIGHT THERE. RIGHT TO WHERE. YEAH, WELL WE’LL WHERE THAT GOES. AND THEN YOU KNOW LIKE OKAY THEN MAYBE THEY’D HAVE TO PLAY THE SEAHAWKS IN THE DIVISIONAL ROUND WHICH WOULD, WHICH COULD BE SCARY, UH, TO TO YOUR POINT. BUT BUT THAT’S ALSO A PREDICATED AS WE SIT HERE RIGHT NOW. OF WAIT, DID THE BEARS BEAT THE PACKERS IN THE WILD CARD ROUND? BECAUSE I THINK IF IT YOU KNOW, PLAYS THE RIGHT WAY YOU’D GO, GOES BEAT THE 49ERS. ALL RIGHT, LET’S JUST SAY THAT. AND THEN I’D GO MAN BEARS, PACKERS, YOU KNOW, THE PACKERS CERTAINLY COULD WIN THAT AND THEY COULD BE GOING TO SEE LA OUT THERE AS THE NUMBER 6 SEED. BUT AS WE’VE TALKED ABOUT, THERE’S A LOT OF CROSS-POLLINATION WITH THESE TEAMS THAT STILL HAVE TO BE FIGURED OUT ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD WITHIN THEIR SCHEDULES AND UH WE SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A CLEARER PICTURE IN ABOUT 3 MORE WEEKS. A GREAT YEAR TO JUST BE A FAN OF FOOTBALL GENERALLY BECAUSE SO MUCH IS UNDECIDED AND SO MUCH WILL BE DECIDED THE MONTH OF DECEMBER SHOULD BE AWESOME AND THE MONTH OF

  6. As a rams fan, i want to remind everyone about the lions last year. They were an unstoppable force during the regular season. The rams are that team right now. Playing great complimentary football. BUT! The only game that will matter is the first playoff game. Then the second. So yes we look like the best team in football. But we need to remain healthy, and our running game needs to improve. Im happy that we are viewed as the best team right now but also have to remain vigilant that anything can happen in the next 5 weeks lol.

  7. No team can keep up momentum forever. That's why going undefeated is next to impossible
    But I feel like the Rams had their letdown game in Seattle and survived it. Since then they look revitalized.
    The playoffs seem to be a new start for most teams so I think that will be another revitalization point for the Rams as well.
    Frankly, only 2 teams in the NFC are capable of derailing us, the Eagles and the Hawks, and I don’t think they even they are ultimately going to be able to pull it off.

  9. The 1978 Rams were the #1 seed. At the end of the year they had three half backs on injured reserve. The Rams started a FB at HB during the NFC championship game. The Cowboys beat the Rams 28-0.
    The Rams have had many similar seasons. They would do great in the regular season and get blown out in the playoffs because of injuries.

  10. Did they forget the 49ers did go into Sofi for the NFC championship game not too long ago and got beat. Seattle got beat at Sofi couple of weeks ago. And do they really think that either Darnold or Purdy are going to beat Stafford in the playoffs.
