NFL Power Ratings after Week 12
Comments: The Top Six remain in place after all but Baltimore win. Interestingly, the spreadsheet scores that game for the Patriots as a 33-5 win against a normal team on a neutral field, while the Ravens get hung with only a 5-18 loss. This just reflects that the game had two good teams in it.
As discussed earlier, the NFC is clearly weaker than the AFC this year, by a substantial amount. The ratings reflect that with only one NFC team in the top 10 (Philadelphia at #3), and only two AFC teams in the bottom ten. The spreadsheet is quite disdainful of NFC West Division leader Seattle, but they are 6-5 against the weakest schedule in the league. San Francisco's season is even worse than it looks at 1-10; they have faced the second easiest schedule. The toughest schedule has been that of Jacksonville.
