HawkerHurricane's NFL Power Ratings! (week 16)

Welcome once more to HawkerHurricane�s NFL power rating.
Now, the system gives TWO points for every win and one point for every win by your opponent...
Division leaders get a d, clinched divisions get a D. Wildcards get a w. Clinched playoff spots get a *. Teams eliminated get a x. Teams not yet eliminated will be given a # to show how far out they are�
