Power Ratings for Week 11
Comments: Indy slips ahead of Philly on the basis of its crushing of the Bears at Chicago. San Francisco gets a firm grip on last place in the Power Ratings; a loss this weekend at Miami would probably clinch it for the '49ers, who have probably not been the worst team in the league this late in the season since 1979, Joe Montana's rookie year.
The AFC continues to dominate in interconference games at 27-17 and are now collectively 10 games above .500. This means that some good AFC teams will not make the playoffs. If the season were to end today, one of the AFC teams at 7-3 would be out of the picture, and a 5-5 team in the NFC would be in the Super Bowl tournament.
The average home field advantage remains at about 2.8 points. Only eight teams this season have played worse at home than on the road, with oddly enough three of them in the NFC North (Chicago, Detroit and Green Bay). Is this some indicator? Doesn't look like it, because last year those three teams all had positive home field advantages, with Chicago and Detroit well above average.
