2025 NFL Week 14 Kayfabe and Political Rankings

God, for being two of the better teams in the NFL, that game tonight was UGLY.  Most turnovers in an NFL game since 2000 (8).

Well, that shakes things up a bit.

NFC:

Kayfabe:

1) LA Rams (10-3, HTH win over the Seahawks)

Might get a good idea what these guys are worth in the next two weeks.  Home to Detroit and then at the Seahawks in the rematch.

2) Green Bay (9-3-1)

Oh, if they only won at least one of the earlier-season games they could've.  None of the three losses nor the tie are very good on their record.  Some might consider them the best in the NFC, but @Denver, @Chicago, Baltimore will say quite a bit.

3) Philadelphia (8-5)

That division is turning into as much a Tank Division as the AFC North!

4) Tampa Bay (7-6, common games over Carolina)

They play twice in the last three weeks, including Week 18.  Early candidate for Win or Go Home Sunday nighter?

5) Seattle (10-3, loses HTH with the Rams)

Bit of a road to hoe after next week with the depleted Colts.  Home to the Rams in the rematch, at Carolina and San Francisco.

6) San Francisco (9-4, wins conference tiebreaker over the Bears)

7) Chicago (9-4, loses conference tiebreaker to San Francisco)

They do play, Week 17, the Sunday night after Christmas.

Detroit is one game out, Carolina is two.

Political:

I'm not comfortable ranking the NFC teams.  I think they all have enough political weaknesses that none of them are going to win a Donald Trump-driven Super Bowl (Super Bowl "We Hate Bad Bunny, even though Puerto Rico is an American territory!").

If you don't believe me, answer this about another game this week:  If Lamar Jackson were White, and/or pro-MAGA, that pass to Isiah Likely is a touchdown, right?

Yeah, I went there.

AFC:  

Kayfabe:

1) Denver (11-2, 7-2 conference record, 6-2 for New England)

Only two of their eleven wins have been outside one score.  If that doesn't indicate some pimping...  Big game:  #1 AFC vs. #2 NFC late window Sunday with Green Bay that should tell us a lot about both teams and where they are going.

2) New England (11-2, loses conference record tiebreak to Denver)

I still think this is where Trumpie and the MAGAs want to go, especially with the likes of the Charlie Kirk Memorial Halftime Show, etc.

3) Jacksonville (9-4)

4) Pittsburgh (7-6)

Don't think some of us haven't noticed that bias there, NFL...

5) LA Chargers (9-4, 7-2 vs. 6-3 conference record with Buffalo)

6) Buffalo (9-4, loses conference tiebreaker to the Chargers)

7) Houston (8-5, HTH win over the Colts, rematch in Week 18)

Kayfabe:

1) New England

2) Denver

3) Pittsburgh

4) Buffalo

5) Houston
