NFL Power Rankings 2016: Week 13 Super Bowl Odds, Standings, Playoff Projections
- Updated: November 30, 2016
We have officially reached the 13th week of the NFL season. Things will kick off on Thursday when the Minnesota Vikings host the Dallas Cowboys.
There are five weeks remaining in the regular season and three full months behind us. Now is a terrific time to examine the playoff picture that is beginning to come into focus. We’re going to do exactly that here today.
We’ll be looking at the current league standings as if the regular season ended today. This means we’ll be ranking division leaders ahead of potential wild-card teams regardless of records. We will also power rank the 32 teams based on the latest Super Bowl odds, courtesy of Odds Shark.
We will then examine some teams to watch as the season draws to a close.
Week 13 Standings
Super Bowl Odds
Teams to Watch
Washington Redskins
The Washington Redskins should be considered a dangerous team heading in to the postseason because of the potent offense the team puts on the field. Washington is currently rated sixth in overall offense by Pro Football Focus and is averaging 426.4 yards per game (second in the NFL).
Right now, the Redskins would be in the playoffs as a wild-card team, and their offense gives them the ability to hang with virtually any postseason contender. Yet the Redskins are currently trending at just 40-1 odds.
If you’re looking for a bargain Super Bowl bet, the Redskins might be a team to consider.
However, we should keep in mind that there is a reason Washington is considered a long shot. The team’s defense, which allows an average of 369.6 yards per game (26th in the NFL), can be a liability.
Washington is rated just 19th in pass rush and 25th in overall defense by Pro Football Focus.
Also working against the Redskins is the fact that pass-rusher Adrian Clayborn is out with a torn MCL, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported:
Falcons DE Adrian Clayborn tore his MCL, partially tore his meniscus, and is expected to miss at least a month; surgery likely, per sources.
