Here are the PFW NFL Power Rankings as we head into Week 12. Rankings are based off of the Wilson-Hart Power Index.
Patriots Football Weekly created a weekly Power Ranking based on the proprietary Wilson-Hart Power Index. The system uses the most important statistics in the game -- those most closely associated to winning and losing -- to rank all 32 NFL teams based on their performance to date this season.
