The NFL Power Rankings for Week 13 are out and for both the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles, Week 12 was just another ho-hum runaway victory. The Eagles improved to 10-1 on the season by dismantling the Chicago Bears 31-3, while the Patriots moved one step closer to winning yet another AFC East title after they crushed the Miami Dolphins 35-17.
Super Bowl 39 rematch?
It is hard to argue that the Patriots and Eagles aren't the top two teams in the NFL, but are they on a collision course to meet in Super Bowl 52? These two have battled it out once before for a championship.
Back in 2005, the Tom Brady led Patriots tripped up Philadelphia in Super Bowl 39 by the final score of 24-21.
While both Philadelphia and New England look like the class of the NFL, fans of the Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, Carolina Panthers, and LA Rams may have a slightly different opinion.
Rams, Vikings continue to rise
The LA Rams and Minnesota Vikings are coming off huge wins this past weekend. The Rams beat a very good New Orleans Saints team 26-20 to keep rolling in the NFC West. Jared Goff looks like the best QB the Rams have had since Kurt Warner as he continues to improve and impress. This kid is the real deal.
The Vikings, along with the Steelers and Panthers, also earned big wins in Week 12 as they not only all are keeping pace for a postseason berth, but they all have a chance to earn home-field advantage throughout the postseason!
Yes, that is how tight things are right now in the NFL.
Super Bowl 52 odds are changing
As the contenders start to separate themselves from the pretenders, the odds to win Super Bowl 52 are changing as well. The biggest change from August to right now on the Las Vegas odds board belongs to the Dallas Cowboys. Once the early favorites at 9/2 odds, Big D has fallen to 40/1.
If you believe the Cowboys can make a miracle run to a championship, now is the time to bet them! You could make a small fortune on Dallas at those odds.
