The New England Patriots are 9–2 and sitting at the top of our Real BK NFL Power Rankings heading into Week 12. Are they actually the best team in football. Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly are back in the chair to break down every tier of the league, from true Super Bowl contenders to teams that should already be thinking about the 2026 NFL Draft. In this episode of Missing the Point’s NFL Power Rankings show, the guys start with the top ten. The Patriots grab number one after another win, with Drake Maye playing like a top five quarterback and Mike Vrabel’s defense closing games. Right behind them, the Eagles, Rams, Colts, Broncos and Bills all jockey for position. Dave and Bobby argue over who is more dangerous in January. Josh Allen’s Bills, the balanced Rams, or the physical Lions who are trying to figure out JJ McCarthy. They then move to the NFC North and NFC wild card race. The Bears sit at 7–3 and slide into the top ten, but Dave is still stressed about Caleb Williams, late game heroics and a brutal schedule. The Lions, Seahawks and 49ers are all in the mix, while the Vikings feel like a team headed in the wrong direction with a struggling JJ McCarthy. On the AFC side, the guys hit every storyline you care about.• Patriots at 9–2, still rolling through the soft part of their schedule but proving they can win tight games.• Broncos at 9–2 with Bo Nix and a top defense, and whether that formula can hold up in the playoffs.• Colts and Rams sitting at 8–2 and looking like complete teams on both sides of the ball.• Chiefs stuck at 5–5, with Patrick Mahomes still terrifying but the rest of the roster holding them back.• Bills bouncing back behind a monster stretch from Josh Allen. They also go through the “cross off” list and possible cross offs. The Jets, Titans, Saints, Dolphins, Browns, Raiders, Cardinals and even the Jaguars are already gone. Dave and Bobby debate whether it is finally time to throw dirt on the Texans, Falcons, Vikings and Bengals. They talk Falcons coaching chaos after another Michael Penix Jr. knee injury, Justin Fields’ future as a backup, and why some franchises cannot get out of their own way. If you want an NFL show that combines real film watching, advanced numbers and fan level emotion, you will be right at home here. This is not a generic top ten graphic. This is an honest conversation about where every team in the league really stands in Week 12 and what it means for the playoff race. Drop your own Week 12 NFL power rankings in the comments.

The New England Patriots are officially the best team in football — at least according to the MTP Power Rankings. After an 8th straight win, a 31-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dave Clarke, Mike Marcangelo, and Bob Kelly break down what’s making this Patriots team click, and how their rookie core might be changing the AFC picture. The crew opens with a full breakdown of Drake Maye’s biggest win yet, dissecting how he overcame early mistakes and heavy pressure to throw two touchdowns and lead a methodical offense against one of the league’s top defenses. They highlight TreVeyon Henderson’s monster breakout, with touchdown runs of 55 and 69 yards, and rookie Kyle Williams’ 72-yard catch-and-run that changed the game’s momentum. The defense came through in the clutch, forcing a late stop and setting up Henderson’s game-sealing run. Meanwhile, Stefon Diggs’ onside kick recovery sealed the deal as New England stayed perfect on the road (5-0) and improved to 8-2, their best start since 2019. Dave praises Mike Vrabel’s discipline and game management, noting how New England’s coaching edge shows up late in close games. Mike calls it “the most balanced Patriots team since the early Belichick era,” while Bobby argues that the team’s newfound big-play ability makes them more dangerous than anyone expected. Then it’s time for this week’s Real BK Top 10 Power Rankings, with the Patriots taking over the #1 spot for the first time this season, followed by the Lions, Eagles, Rams, and Colts rounding out the top five. The Bucs slide after their loss, while the Bears make their debut in the top 10 thanks to Caleb Williams’ continued development and Matt Eberflus’ steady leadership. Other storylines this week include Brian Daboll’s firing in New York, as the Giants officially hit reset after another loss, and the continued chaos across the league’s middle tier. The guys debate whether the Jaguars are still playoff material, whether Bo Nix’s Broncos are for real at 8-2, and whether the Bills’ drop to 9th signals a late-season regression. The group also revisits Drake Maye’s improvement in Year 2, the Patriots’ emerging rookie class, and the ripple effect of Vrabel’s coaching turnaround. Dave and Mike debate whether this team is truly built for a deep playoff run, while Bobby jokes that he’s “ready to plan the Super Bowl parade.” Elsewhere, the conversation shifts to teams in crisis — the Commanders’ season collapse, the Steelers’ offensive meltdown, and Jordan Love’s inconsistency dragging down the Packers. They agree to officially cross off multiple teams, including the Giants, Titans, Jets, and Raiders, and predict who might be next if the Cowboys can’t beat Las Vegas this weekend. It’s another loaded week of laughs, arguments, and unfiltered football talk — MTP Power Rankings style.

Dave Clarke's Saga Series Episode 141
The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and the league looks completely different. MTP Power Rankings hosts Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly are here to break down every blockbuster trade, every questionable move, and every new contender as we head into Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season. The Jets blew it up in dramatic fashion — Sauce Gardner traded to the Colts, Quinnen Williams shipped to the Cowboys, and Breece Hall rumored to be the next big name on the move. Dave calls it the biggest in-season rebuild in years, while Bobby questions whether either trade actually moves the needle. Did the Colts overpay for star power? Can Quinnen Williams fix a Cowboys defense that just got embarrassed by the Cardinals? The guys also break down the rest of the trade deadline deals: Rashid Shaheed heads to the Seahawks to give Sam Darnold more speed on offense to pair with Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jakobi Meyers heads to Jacksonville, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling brings veteran experience to the Steelers offense. Dave argues that Pittsburgh made one of the smartest under-the-radar moves of the deadline, while Bobby calls it “too little, too late.” Then, it’s on to the rankings — and there’s a major shakeup at the top.The Buffalo Bills reclaim the #1 spot after a statement win over the Kansas City Chiefs, dominating on both sides of the ball. The Buccaneers and Eagles stay steady at two and three, while the Patriots continue to climb behind Drake Maye’s control and maturity under Mike Vrabel’s leadership. The Rams, Colts, and Lions round out a competitive top tier, while teams like the Broncos and Seahawks are quietly building resumes that can’t be ignored. The Bears are another story — shocking the Bengals in what Dave calls “the craziest game of the season.” They praise Caleb Williams for his ability to deliver under pressure and highlight DJ Moore’s near-touchdown that flipped the game. But Bobby doesn’t let the special teams off the hook, calling their kickoff coverage “unacceptable.” Both agree Chicago’s arrow is pointing up, but they still need cleaner execution to stay in playoff contention. Other topics include the Packers’ embarrassing loss to the Panthers, Steelers’ defensive turnaround, and Bo Nix’s underrated run in Denver. The guys agree this season feels more unpredictable than ever, with few dominant teams and plenty of parity across the league. Dave also takes aim at the officiating inconsistencies and revisits the debate over the “tush push” — calling for a rule change after too many controversial calls. By the end of the episode, every team gets its place: contenders, pretenders, and those officially crossed off for the season.

NFL Week 6 Power Rankings are here.

Bobby and Dave argue over their playoff chances and how much the defense can really carry them.• The Bears (2-2) hit their bye week with questions at quarterback but optimism on defense.

Dave Clarke's Saga Series Episode 136
The gloves are off in Part 2 of our NFL offseason power rankings.Dave Clarke, Bob Kelly, and Rayshawn Buchanan pick up right where we left off last week after torching the league’s bottom 12. Now we’re getting into that middle-to-upper tier — teams that could swing either way in 2025. Contenders in the making, pretenders in disguise… we’re calling them out. We kick things off with the Seattle Seahawks at 19. Sam Darnold’s running the show, Cooper Kupp’s in town, and Mike Macdonald’s defense is going to have to keep this thing from falling apart while the offense figures it out. From there, it’s a ride through breakout candidates like Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Jr. in Arizona, a 49ers team that lives or dies on Christian McCaffrey’s legs, and a Pittsburgh Steelers squad that suddenly has Rodgers, Ramsey, and DK Metcalf but still has to survive that brutal schedule. We talk Caleb Williams’ rookie year in Chicago, why Houston might be better than people think (if Mixon and Nico can stay healthy), and how Kevin O’Connell somehow keeps the Vikings relevant even with a rookie QB. Denver’s defense looks terrifying, Jim Harbaugh might be the missing piece for the Chargers, and the Jordan Love debate rages on in Green Bay. You’ll hear plenty of “are you serious?” moments, QB ranking fights, and some very real questions about coaches like Kyle Shanahan and Mike Tomlin. Agree, disagree, yell at us on Twitter — it’s all part of the fun.

The NFL preseason is here. Missing the Point hosts Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly open Part 1 of our 2025 NFL Power Rankings and stack the league with clear tiers and firm takes. We start at the bottom with the Cleveland Browns. A crowded quarterback room, Myles Garrett trade chatter, and a roster in flux shape the outlook. We explain what a successful season looks like and why the floor matters more than the ceiling right now. Next, the New Orleans Saints. An aging core and tight cap space create real questions. We outline the path back to league average and the moves that would change their range of outcomes. Then it is Carolina and Tennessee. Bryce Young’s leadership versus Cam Ward’s upside. We weigh schedule, protection, and weapons, and set fair benchmarks for Year 1 progress. The New York Giants come next. Russell Wilson leads a reset against one of the toughest slates in the league. The defense must steal games while the offense finds itself. We set realistic expectations. We hit the Indianapolis Colts and Anthony Richardson. The ceiling is obvious. The turnover risk is, too. We map the development plan and what the coaching staff must emphasize for a jump. The New York Jets get a hard look. A top defense and Breece Hall can carry stretches. Justin Fields needs efficient answers on early downs. We define the passing benchmarks that unlock a playoff push. Miami’s range is wide. Tua Tagovailoa’s health and Mike McDaniel’s adjustments determine the story. We detail the fixes that stabilize the offense and keep them in the hunt. Jacksonville hinges on Trevor Lawrence. Protection and timing routes are the swing factors. We explain how a few small improvements flip close games. New England should look cleaner under Mike Vrabel. Fewer penalties. Better situational football. Drake Maye’s growth sets the cap on the win total. We lay out a credible band of outcomes. Dallas rounds out Part 1. Dak Prescott’s ceiling, Micah Parsons’ impact, and a reworked receiver room with George Pickens change the math. We explain how the Cowboys beat expectations. Part 2 lands next week with our Top 16 and playoff tiers. Subscribe and send us your Top 10.
