NFL POWER RANKINGS: Where all 32 teams stand going into the final week of the regular season

Welcome to Week 17 of the NFL, where playoff spots, playoff seeds, and draft order are all up for grabs. And, it's the week where a new team has emerged atop the weekly power rankings.

After shellacking the Packers on Sunday afternoon, the Cardinals have surpassed the Panthers (who somehow lost to the Falcons) and the Patriots (who outsmarted themselves during the overtime coin toss) for the top spot in the rankings. Carson Palmer, Larry Fitzgerald, and Bruce Arians are storming into the playoffs, winners of nine straight.

Speaking of nine straight wins, might they meet the Chiefs in the Super Bowl? Andy Reid's Chiefs are red-hot, everyone's favorite dark horse to come out of the AFC.

A lot is still up in the air with one week left, but things will only really get interesting come the playoffs.
