NFL Power Ranks: Wild Card Playoffs

I'm going to keep this week's power ranks short and sweet, just in time for tomorrow's games. The Colts elimination last week knocked them out of the top spot, leaving the disaster scenario of New England moving into the top spot...but luckily it didn't happen. The Ravens' impressive win at Miami allowed them to leap all the way up to the top spot (the top 7 are all extremely close) for the first time this season. New England remained at #2 while Carolina moved to #3 and Tennessee to #4. The Dolphins were the big losers this week, dropping from #3 all the way to #10. Interestingly, the strength of schedule changes allowed the 49ers and Bengals to switch positions this week as well.

So this week's playoff predictions are (the ranks were only 1-3) last week:
#1 Ravens over #4 Titans
#3 Panthers over #14 Cardinals
#6 Eagles over #8 Giants
#7 Steelers over #9 Chargers
