Week 14 Football Outsider Rankings
Football Outsiders has their week 14 football rankings up here. Previously, I explained why I like Football Outsiders here.
The top 4 or 5 teams stay the same, though NE moves to the top, where they belong. The amount the Philly ranking depends on special teams is still a concern, but no other team in the NFC even cracks the top 10, so Philly's route to the Superbowl looks pretty greased. Note that while Rothlesberger gets the press, its the Pittsburgh defense that is doing the heavy lifting, moving to #1 in the league, ahead of even Baltimore.
The underachiever award definitely goes to KC, which is apparently doing well on a play by play basis but can't win games. Conversely, the overachieving goes to Atlanta, which falls in the middle of the rankings but is 10-3.
