But did anyone really think they’d be joined by the Patriots and the Colts? But did anyone really think they’d be joined by the Patriots and the Colts?Sitting directly below them in the standings are a handful of 2024 playoff teams, which makes the AFC race especially fascinating. The Fox Sports NFL Power Rankings are here for Week 12.*Super Bowl LX odds courtesy of DraftKings SportsbookSuper Bowl odds: +550They may have won the heavyweight battle with the Seahawks, but they did it with an anemic offensive performance (249 yards). They should have won much more easily, as their defense picked off Sam Darnold a total of four times. Super Bowl odds +600: They had a chance at moving up the rankings. 1, but their offensive performance (272 yards, 16 points) was nearly as bad as the Rams’ display. Super Bowl odds +900: Only the defense saves this dysfunctional superpower. City. Super Bowl odds +1400DrakeMaye again played like an MVP, albeit against the Jets. The team is just rolling. Their schedule is so easy. Super Bowl odds: +1300Winning ugly means winning. They’ve got a championship-caliber defense that seems more than capable of carrying an offense filled with flaws.Super Bowl odds: +1000Sam Darnold is a remarkable story, but he’s hard to trust in big games. The Seahawks would have beaten the Rams if Darnold had been average. Josh Allen, who led a fourth-quarter rally against the Buccaneers, looked more like the MVP that he used to be. Super Bowl odds: +850 Super Bowl odds +1600: They managed to survive a windy, road-trip day against the Giants. But their offense remains a challenge to watch. And now they’ve lost Josh Jacobs, too, at least in the short term.Super Bowl odds: +1100Dan Campbell’s playcalling ran into a buzz saw against Vic Fangio’s Eagles defense. The Lions are still dangerous, but they’re also now in third place in the NFC North.Super Bowl odds: +3000Brock Purdy’s return was a very good sign, especially for an offense that just might be getting healthy at the right time to make a run.Super Bowl odds: +3000Sean Tucker’s breakout game was encouraging for this battered team. Super Bowl odds +8000: They are the Cardiac Kids. Another late comeback has led to their seventh win in eight games. Super Bowl odds: +11000Can Aaron Rodgers continue to play with a fractured wrist? It’s more important: Should he try or is it the right time to see if Mason Rudolph will jumpstart this offensive? Super Bowl odds: +6000Two week ago, they had to win in overtime to beat Raiders. Last week they blew a 19 point fourth quarter lead to the Texans. This week … they thoroughly beat down the Chargers? Where did that come from?Super Bowl odds: +4500It’s hard to overstate how badly they were embarrassed by the Jaguars, who held them to just 135 yards of offense. They are still a team with a lot of talent and experience, and all of their losses have been by 1-2 points. But the reality is they are what their 5-5 record says they are.Super Bowl odds: +1200Needing a fourth-quarter comeback to hold off Shedeur Sanders and the Browns doesn’t inspire confidence. But they have won four straight now and the schedule in front of them remains soft.Super Bowl odds: +25000OK, I’m confused: Is Bryce Young good or terrible? The 448 passing yard and three touchdowns are impressive. Super Bowl odds +25000On the emotional night following the death of a teammate they played their most impressive game of the year. It may be too late, but this is the team Jerry Jones always thought they’d be.Super Bowl odds: +8000They get no credit for needing a last-second field goal to beat the lowly Titans. They are one of the biggest underachievers in the league despite boasting the NFL’s No. Super Bowl odds: +40000They nearly overcame J.J. McCarthy’s bad start with a furious fourth-quarter comeback. Super Bowl odds +100000This was almost a good team this season. Why would Mike McDaniel go for it with fourth-and-1 in a tied game, 1:41 remaining, instead of kicking a goal to give the team the lead? At least he didn’t pass on the game-winning FG in OT. That’s something, I guess.Super Bowl odds: +100000They finally rode Bijan Robinson and took a big first-half lead. Then, they ignored him. And then, they lost it all. What’s next? It’s Kirk Cousins time, with Michael Penix Jr. headed for IR.Super Bowl odds: +100000Nearly 500 yards of offense completely undone by three turnovers and another defensive disappointment. Super Bowl odds: +100000 It looks like there will be a coaching switch. This team has fight in it, but its defense just isn’t very good.Super Bowl odds: +100000Dan Quinn passed on a go-ahead FG on fourth-and-goal from the 1 with six minutes left in a tie game. He nearly got away with it too. Super Bowl odds +50000: Good news! Joe Burrow’s almost back. The bad news is that Joe Burrow will soon be back. Bengals went 1-7 in his absence. Super Bowl odds +100000A close final score may make it appear that they were able to hang with the Patriots but their offense shut down following an opening touchdown drive. Bad team. Bad quarterback. Just bad. Just bad.Super Bowl odds: +100000Shedeur Sanders was finally forced into a game, and it immediately became clear why the Browns haven’t played him. When Dillon Gabriel was gone, they were still beating the Ravens. That’s something. Probably.Super Bowl odds: +100000There’s a real chance for growth down the stretch from rookie QB Tyler Shough. Super Bowl odds: +100000Pete Carroll must be seriously questioning his life choices at this point. Is this the team that Pete Carroll wants to lead at age 74? Maybe they’ll be a contender by the time he’s 80.Super Bowl odds: +100000They pushed the Texans to the brink. Great. Champagne! Ralph Vacchiano, NFL Reporter at FOX Sports, is a reporter for the NFL.
