It's Thanksgiving week, so grab some turkey, get a tub of cranberry sauce and let's get ready to make some picks. Actually, I don't even like turkey and cranberry sauce is the worst, so I take back everything I just said.

The last time the New England Patriots were No. 1 in anybody’s NFL Power Rankings, Bill Belichick was their head coach and Tom Brady was their quarterback. But now, after their ninth straight win, they’re right on the heels of the top-ranked Rams.

The Baltimore Ravens are currently atop the AFC North but only due to the tiebreaker for divisional win percentage. The Pittsburgh Steelers share Baltimore's 6-5 record. Even the 3-8 Cincinnati Bengals can get back into the divisional race with a win over the Ravens on Thanksgiving.

After another wild week, we’re left with one truly dominant team — the Rams — and a bunch of questions. It's time for the power rankings.

Week 12 of the regular season is in the books, putting teams one week closer to the start of the playoffs in January. And though there were some crazy games on Sunday afternoon, the playoff picture in the NFC looks almost identical to the way it did a week ago. There was one big change, though: There's a new No. 1 at the top.

As the season winds down, the best advice is to secure the backups for your star players. After that, Jags WR Parker Washington may be your best option.

The projected top seeds are the Los Angeles Rams -- the No. 1 team in my Power Rankings — and the New England Patriots. The Rams have looked dominant at times, but they lost at home to Mac Jones and the 49ers earlier this year. The Patriots have ripped off nine straight victories, but do you see that team being unbeatable?
