Yeah - and I do suppose any QB looks good when the opposing team has Gabbert.

But seriously - with Rivers actually having his targets more or less healthy, he's seriously playing about the best he has this entire season. I was kind of hoping the culprit to blame for his embarrassing display for much of the season was the alleged injury he was believed to be playing through...but I guess not. Ideally, with healthy receivers, they're going to look much more respectable for the rest of the season.

Kind of the same here, but I could never root for the Pats or Steelers - the fans of the two around my area are nauseating. I don't understand why so many Patriots fans, though. We're a long way from Boston.

1. Packers - They almost lost!!1!11111
2. Ravens - I know I'm just going to sound like a hopeful Baltimore fan, but I really do believe that this is the year that they make the Super Bowl. Winning it is another story.
3. Saints - It's hard to believe that this incredible team will likely only be the third seed in the NFC. Regardless, this offense is full throttle and it'll be REALLY difficult to stop them.
4. 49ers - They've clinched their division, Alex Smith is throwing pretty well, Gore is a monster, Jim Harbaugh is coach of the year, their defense is impeccable...all the makings of a team that could potentially make a run.
5. Patriots - They have fairly obvious weaknesses that can be exploited by the higher tier teams, so I'm not extremely confident that they can make a deep playoff run, but it's impossible to deny that Tom Brady is a stud and can take any team places.
6. Steelers - They really don't want to be a wild card team, so it all comes down to whether they can beat the 49ers or not, because Baltimore probably isn't losing another game.
7. Texans - Despite injuries, they still have one of the best running backs in football, and TJ Yates can be surprisingly effective. A hell of a lot better than some of the other young AFC South QBs, anyway.
8. Jets - You guarantee a Super Bowl, Rex Ryan? Pah, at this point you're only really hoping for a playoff birth. However, with a cake schedule the rest of the way besides the Giants, it shouldn't be hard to get that.
9. Broncos - Tebow time, sonny. The AFC West is a mess, but that's not going to stop Tebow from leading a stampede into the playoffs. But that's only if he can pull out a win against Chicago and in Buffalo. Let's not forget the Chiefs who are creeping up as well in a regular season finale.
10. Cowboys - Idiocy. That's the only word that describes the coach's decision to ice THEIR OWN KICKER.
11. Bengals - They got smothered by the Steelers, and now they HAVE to beat Houston, St. Louis, and Arizona. A regular season finale of Bengals-Ravens could decide their fate.
12. Lions - Everyone in the NFC Wildcard race played like failure and lost, keeping the Lions' playoff hopes alive. The rest of the road isn't easy, but they can pull it off if they play to their full potential.
13. Falcons - I'm not sure what happened here, but they lost to the Texans on a day that they should've won and pulled out front in the wild card race.
14. Titans - Not many people are talking about this team, but I'll just remind you that Chris Johnson is starting to play real well and that this team has the potential to easily slide into the playoffs.
15. Giants - They kind of blew it. Luckily for this team, they have two match-ups against the Cowboys remaining, which gives them ample opportunity to get a wildcard or to even win their division!
16. Raiders - I still have very high hopes for this team, but the rest of their schedule is brutal and I don't know if they can keep up with the Tebow train.
17. Chiefs - This team has a fairly potent defense, but outside of that there's not much. The rest of their schedule is insane (not a single opponent with under 7 wins), and I don't expect Tyler Palko to pull much off during this final stretch.
18. Dolphins - If these Dolphins had played like this all season, they'd probably be in the playoff race.
19. Bears - Caleb Hanie is about as bad as it gets...besides Gabbert anyway. But without Cutler and Forte, this team's future is looking very grim.
20. Seahawks - This team is playing fairly well, despite the fact that a victory against the Eagles means very little anymore.
21. Bills - What? The Bills are better than the Patriots? Were people ACTUALLY saying that earlier this season?
22. Panthers - Cam Newton is legit. Now they just need to build around him.
23. Cardinals - Strong defense, an up-and-coming running back, and one of the best punt returners in the league. An upgrade at QB could go a long way for this team.
24. Eagles - Ugh. Vick's coming back though. Yay?
25. Chargers - A win like that against the Jaguars is not impressive. But they do have three of the most elite wide receivers around now, it's just whether or not Rivers can make shit happen with them.
26. Redskins - I sure am glad I picked up Helu, because finally the Redskins have a potent offensive threat!
27. Buccaneers - Their season might be even more disappointing than the Eagles' season.
28. Browns - God, this team is boring to watch.
29. Vikings - They're better than their record says, and Ponder is definitely some that can be built around.
30. Rams - I'm not sure what has happened to this team.
31. Jaguars - Blaine Gabbert is the worst QB I've ever seen. No joke.
32. Colts - The fact that they didn't pick up Orton or McNabb just proves that they desperately want Mr. Luck.

1. Packers - They're playing the completely mixed up Chiefs next week? Gonna be a blood bath.
2. Ravens - Easy win against the Colts. They're playing like a Super Bowl team.
3. Saints - The only NFC team that has a chance at all against the Packers, and that's only because they're the only team that could match their offensive prowess.
4. Steelers - In any other division, this team would probably be 12-1 or 13-0
5. 49ers - They're going to be tested against Pittsburgh. Can they handle an elite team?
6. Texans - I'm not sure how it's being done, but T.J. Yates is putting together consistent victories for this playoff guaranteed team.
7. Patriots - Their offense is incredible, but all a team needs is to stop Brady a few times, because their defense is just pathetic.
8. Broncos - Their momentum is insane right now. It's Tebow Time in the NFL.
9. Lions - They're in control of their own destiny and can easily make the playoffs. They also get a shot at Green Bay to possibly take away their perfect season in a regular season finale.
10. Jets - Their offense is finally picking up thanks to some solid play from Shonn Greene.
11. Falcons - Close call against the Panthers. Can Matt Ryan put together a solid run to get this team in the playoffs?
12. Giants - Eli Manning is a god in the 4th quarter. Yes, even better than Tebow. There's still some problems that need addressed on this team, however.
13. Titans - They have three very winnable games in the row, which keeps their playoff hopes alive.
14. Bengals - That was a rough loss for the Bengals. They can still make the playoffs, but they'll need some help.
15. Cowboys - Twice now they have had chances to take a lone spot of first place in their division, and twice their kicking unit has failed them.
16. Raiders - A few weeks ago it looked like they could cruise into the playoffs. Now they'll be lucky to finish .500 at this rate.
17. Chargers - They're winning, but Rivers is still playing poorly and their playoff hopes look very grim.
18. Bears - Injuries, poor playing, etc. Whatever you wanna call it, the Bears are not a very good team right now.
19. Cardinals - Wow, the Cardinals are looking really good! Fit this team with a solid QB and you could be looking at playoff contenders next year.
20. Seahawks - Just like the Cardinals, here's another NFC East team that's starting to turn on the engines a little too late in the season.
21. Dolphins - Sparano's gone, which means this team will be very mixed up for the next few weeks.
22. Bills - The excitement is gone now. The Bills just suck.
23. Eagles - Hey, they won a game, and Michael Vick is back! Maybe they can finish this season on a relatively highish note.
24. Redskins - Just like the Cardinals, this team just needs a solid QB upgrade and they could be very competitive next year.
25. Buccaneers - Josh Freeman has really blown it, and this team just looks awful as of late.
26. Panthers - Cam Newton is incredible. Start building around the man.
27. Chiefs - New coach, dozens of injuries, going up against the Packers....this will be bad.
28. Browns - Do they stick with McCoy? At the very least, they need many upgrades offensively or this team will never be able to accomplish anything.
29. Jaguars - Gabbert looked halfway decent in a game. Know who looked better? Maurice Jones-Drew and his 37 fantasy points for my team
30. Vikings - lol, Joe Webb? This team is a mess. But they have Jared Allen, at least.
31. Rams - Oh, god.
32. Colts - OH, god.

I do love that 24-for-33 for 240 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions is still bad for Rivers. He did lose a fumble, though. But it's December. He loves December.

Also - Ryan Mathews is kind of the man.

Week 15

1. Green Bay Packers- If I had two MVP votes, Aaron Rodgers gets one of them

2. New Orleans Saints- If the defense at least shows up, they have the offense to compete the Packers.

3. Baltimore Ravens- As good as they are, Joe Flacco has held them back all season from being dominant. I think he can go into a higher gear before the playoffs.

4. Pittsburgh Steelers- Ben Roethlisberger. Man.

5. New England Patriots- They are pretty much the Saints' slightly retarded cousin.

6. Houston Texans- This may seem high considering all the injuries and 3rd string QB. But they're playing really good football right now.

7. San Francisco 49ers- They need the no. 2 seed, and the Saints are breathing down their neck.

8. Denver Broncos- Ummm... Six weeks ago I would have bet my left testicle that they would be no where near the top 20. Yeah.

9. Atlanta Falcons- Now that the Iranians have that drone, the Falcons are officially the thing most under the radar.

10. Detroit Lions- Are we ready for the Lions in the playoffs? Are the Lions ready for the playoffs?

11. New York Jets- Early season woes. Check. Late season surge? Check. Early playoff exit? Probable check.

12. New York Giants- I remember the last time the Giants were pulling wins out of their ass as an undefeated marched on to perfection...

13. Cincinnati Bengals- They're gonna just miss out this year. But they can be a spoiler.

14. Dallas Cowboys- Playoff hopes dying on a field goal... shocker.

15. Tennessee Titans- Hasselbeck or Locker? With them out of the playoff hunt, I say Locker.

16. Chicago Bears- As much as they're only another victim of Tebow's 4th quarter resurrections, Marion Barber could have singlehandedly ended that game.

17. San Diego Chargers Jack del Rio. Tony Sporano. Todd Haley. Norv Turner?

18. Oakland Raiders- Al is long gone, and he took their playoff hopes with him.

19. Seattle Seahawks- I forgot how good Marshawn Lynch could be. He's been on a tear since the Saints-earthquake run.

20. Philadelphia Eagles- Whether or nor Andy Reid keeps his job will depend on these last 3 games.

21. Arizona Cardinals- 2-0 their last two games in the solid red uniforms. Coincidence? Yeah, probably not the real reason why.

22. Buffalo Bills- 14 players, including 10 starters, on injured reserve. This was a good team when healthy, so they're at least turning the corner.

23. Carolina Panthers- I give the edge to Andy Dalton over Cam Newton for rookie of the year simply because he has wins. But the Panthers are in good hands if Cam stays on the right track.

24. Miami Dolphins- I like how the Dolphins management waited to fire Sporano until the Fish started actually playing well and winning games.

25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- I had high hopes for them. So much for that.

26. Washington Redskins- Maybe Shanahan is nothing without Elway? Or maybe he's proving how bad Rex Grossman is.

27. Kansas City Chiefs- Are they a one year wonder? Without Todd Haley to be one of the constant variables next season, we'll never know. That's science.

28. Jacksonville Jaguars- As much as I joke/predict/command that they will play in LA in a few years, they play with a lot of heart and I respect that.

29. Minnesota Vikings- With AP and Ponder set for the future, it's time to address the defense.

30. Cleveland Browns- What can Brown do for you? Give your favorite team a win.

31. St. Louis Rams The talent is there to win. Is it the coaching?

32. Indianapolis Colts- Remember that 2nd MVP vote? It goes to Peyton Manning.

Versus Denver: 19 for 36, 188 yards, one TD.
Versus Chicago: 21 for 31, 280 yards, two TDs, two interceptions
Versus Oakland: 23 for 47 (under 50 percent), 274 yards, 2 TDs, on interception

These games weren't that long ago. He's done well against the JAGUARS and the BILLS, two bad defenses (and one of the worst with Buffalo)
