Comments:
Not a lot of movement this week. The Packers are still way out in front, with the Steelers, Ravens, and Texans in a pretty close cluster, followed by another big gap down to the Patriots.
In week 8, the Broncos lost by 35 to the Lions, and APR dropped them to a #26 ranking. They've won every game since then, and this is the first week they haven't moved up in APR's ranking as a result.
Congradulations to the Texans, who have clinched the AFC South, and thus the first playoff berth in franchise history. They have also clinched their first-ever 10 win season.
The Packers have clinched a playoff spot higher than the Saints. Which seems like a pretty big deal, since a) the Saints seem like a team that has the best shot at beating them, but b) the Saints haven't been nearly as good when playing on the road.
The 49ers, who seemed like a lock for (at worst) the #2 seed, have taken a critical loss in their division, and are now in a no-margin-for-error race with the Saints for the remaining bye-week seed.
The Giants are the only division-leading team that hasn't made it to at least 8 wins yet.
