Apologies for forgetting to do this last week.
Post-Week 16 Power Rankings
Top 10
1. New England - 5th in scoring defense, which no one is talking about
2. Minnesota - Case Keenum continues to play well enough for this team to be a Super Bowl team
3. Pittsburgh - are hoping to avenge that loss to NE last week
4. LA Rams - unreal season by Todd Gurley
5. New Orleans - the best 1-2 punch at RB we have seen this century
6. Philadelphia - yeah, yeah, they clinched the 1 seed, but does anyone really think Nick Foles is taking this team anywhere?
7. Carolina - defense continues to carry this team
8. Kansas City - this team is quietly starting to look like that team that started 5-0
9. Jacksonville - taken to the cleaners by Jimmy G, but that defense will go into the postseason with a chip on their shoulders
10. Atlanta - can they lock up that last playoff spot by beating a tough Panthers team
NFL MVP Top 5
1. Carson Wentz - they won last night, but Wentz's value to that team has never been more obvious; he still leads the league in TD passes despite missing the last 2+ games
2. Todd Gurley - what a beast this guy is
3. Tom Brady - he will win it by default now, but he shouldn't
4. Russell Wilson - if the Seahawks squeeze into the playoffs, he'll get some votes
5. Alvin Kamara - this guy is electric
