2023 NFL Week 16 Power Rankings – Top 5
No. 1 San Francisco 49ers – San Francisco is leading the NFC standings with an 11-3 record and a 6-week winning streak. Overall, they are number one in point differential and in the end, only the score matters. Last but not least, they are plus-191 on the year, 24 points over Dallas, which ranks second.
At the moment, they are clearly the most dominating team in the NFL. In fact, last week they put up 45 poins on the Cardinals with Purdy averaging nearly 10 yards per attempt. Thus, the top sportsbooks are already expecting to see the 49ers play at Super Bowl 58.
No. 2 Baltimore Ravens – The Ravens are currently leading the NFL in rushing and no team even come close to them. Furthermore, with QB Lamar Jackson on point, they are averaging 163.8 yards per game. In addition, the Raven got themselves a playoff berth by defeating the Jaguars 23-7 last Sunday. Thus, helping them stay 2 games ahead of the Browns in the AFC North. If they can keep it up, they are bound to land the AFC’s No. 1 seed to roughly 3in-4.
No. 3 Dallas Cowboys – Despite losing to the Bills last week, Dallas remains a hot team to bet on. At least, according to football betting fans looking to make a buck. Unfortunately, with this latest loss, it will be nearly impossible for them to become the no. 1 seed in the NFC.
No. 4 Philadelphia Eagles – The question on everyone’s mind is whether the Eagles can get it right this Monday. This is because they have been struggling against the Cowboys’ and the 49ers defense during their last 2 games. If they can win their next 2 games and the 49ers lose one, they could grab the NFC’s no. seed.
No. 5 – Miami Dolphins – Currently, Miami is number one in the AFC East rankings with a 10-4 record. In addition, they average the most passing yards per game and points per game. Thus, it is not an exaggeration to say they have the best offense in the NFL
