With a largely irrelevant Lions-Saints game on the slate for Monday Night Football, let's take a look at an updated Super Bowl Power Rankings:
1. Steelers - hottest offense in the league; 30+ points in 6 straight games just scaring the AFC. Love 'em or hate 'em, I think it's my duty to tell you to prepare for a possible Pittsburgh super bowl run this autumn.
Just how improbable was yesterday's victory? Win probability graph:
2. Pats - cheaters sometimes prosper
3. NY Giants - fresh off a huge quality loss verse Cam Newton's Panthers; they remain the only team uniquely built to defeat the Deflatriots
4. Carolina Panthers - All they do is win win win no matter what! Cam Newton is a lock to win this year's MVP award; the league hates Tom Brady & the Pats and Big Ben's MVP vote will be split by Antonio Browns continued historic run. Shout out to Ted Ginn Jr. out here having a career year for an otherwise forgettable WR corps. Auburn War Eagles paid Cam $180,000 for his work as QB of the 2010 edition. Please keep your laptops safe
5. Denver Bronco's - lost a heartbreaker in the toughest place to play in the league; these guys played the AFC's hottest team down to the wire and at the same time never really had a chance of winning(see above graph). 0% chance of a super bowl if they can't avoid PIT.
Inexplicably, with wins by both PIT and NYJ yesterday, the Steelers leapfrogged the Jets in the AFC playoff picture and now seem like virtual locks to play CIN or DEN in round one (this doubles as a list of the last two teams the steelers have beaten FYI)
