The Strength Of Ten: Final Rankings of 2017 Season

Had every intention of podcasting today the final Power Rankings with 'Boston' Jack on the Football show today but I was afflicted with catching a cold by one of my kids. MY throat is scratchy and my voice sounds pretty hoarse so I decided to do these rankings solely in written form. It really sucks considering these are the last rankings of the season. I really enjoy doing them every year. I especially love the back and forth with everyone on social media who mostly disagree with my position also. But that is what makes it the most fun as well.

​Anyway cheers to the 2017 NFL regular season. Your last "The Strength Of Ten" NFL Power Ten of the season courtesy of Earnestly Speaking Media. 

1. ​New England Patriots (13-3) 
LAST WEEK: SAME 
#1 seed in the AFC. The clear cut favorite to not only win the AFC title but to win the Super Bowl as well. 

2.Minnesota Vikings (13-3)
LAST WEEK: SAME 
They are my absolute favorite ti win the NFC title. Plus the biggest storyline of the postseason - - can host the Super Bowl in their own stadium should they make that a reality. 
3. Pittsburgh Steelers (13-3)
LAST WEEK: SAME
Would feel alot better about the Steelers if I know Antonio Brown was healthy for the postseason. 

4. Los Angeles Rams (11-5)
LAST WEEK: SAME
Benched most of their starters in Week 17 so it’s truly hard to get a gauge on them. Can only go based on Week 16. Still the most dangerous team in NFC playoffs in my opinion. 

5. New Orleans Saints (11-5)
LAST WEEK: #7
Won the NFC South even while losing in Tampa due to Carolina’s inconsistent play. Many people like them to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. I just do not see it. 

6. Kansas City Chiefs (10-6)
LAST WEEK: #9
Ended the season on the 4 game win streak. Was it enough to forget the mid season slump? We’ll have out answer in the coming weeks. 

7. Carolina Panthers (11-5)  
LAST WEEK: #6
Which Panthers team shows up Wildcard Weekend? Better yet, which Cam Newton shows up?

8. Atlanta Falcons (10-6)
LAST WEEK: UNRANKED 
One of the hardest teams in the NFL to get a read on from week to week. 

9. Philadelphia Eagles (13-3)
LAST WEEK: #5
You can make a case that right now even as the #1 seed in the entire NFC they may actually be the worst of the six postseason entries. 

10. Jacksonville Jaguars (10-6)
LAST WEEK: #8
Do not like how they ended the season especially with Blake Bortles regressing the final two weeks.
