NFL WEEK 17 Power Rankings...SANTA and the GRICH Edition....Who has to WIN in WEEK 17.

The last week in the NFL Season and there are DIVISIONS and SEEDS in Winning TIME undecided. The PACKERS might be the ONLY TEAM in the NFL in WEEK 17 that doesn't have to WIN or doesn't have to play for any type of SCENARIO to dictate whether they go UP or DOWN.

The NFC EAST is up for GRABS and the COWBOYS and GIANTS enter MET LIFE BLUE....where ONE TEAM enters...and ONE TEAM will EXIT right into NFC EAST Champs and the PLAYOFFS.

The AFC's Top SPOT is held by the PATRIOTS but the RAVENS must beat the BENGALS in the JUNGLE to hold onto #2 and if they lose the BENGALS get a WILD CARD Spot and the STEELERS go from #5 to #2 Seed as the RAVENS will drop to #5 Seed....the GRICH could be in CHARM CITY and SANTA in CINCY.

NFL WEEK 17 Power Rankings....sponsored by WINNING TIME...Has your TEAM been NOTTY or NICE?:

1. PACKERS (1) 14-1: they have held the TOP SPOT ALL YEAR like the LSU TIGERS in COLLEGE FOOTBALL. Now WInning Time is upon us.

2. SAINTS (2) 12-3: Rolling along and punished a FALCON Team that is heading to the WINNING TIME.....BREES is the BUSINESS with another NFL Record

3. 49ERS (3) 12-3: They won another one at the END and that is not LUCK on SUNDAYS that is sheer believing in what the GOAL is....WINNING at all COSTS

4. PATRIOTS (4) 12-3: It took them a WHOLE HALF to figure out that the AQUA BOYZ really didn't want them.....BRADY and that OFFENSE can't be the ONLY ONES in WINNING TIME...that PATS D needs some fixing and quick

5. STEELERS (5) 11-4: To their CREDIT they took out the HAPLESS RAMS and did it with QB Charlie BATCH and now the DEFENSE is turning into WINNING TIME Form.....KEY GAME in WEEK 17 if RAVENS LOSE

6. RAVENS (6) 11-4: They almost got bit again by the BROWNS and not hating on the RAVENS but they don't look like they are playing their BEST FOOTBALL right now.

7. LIONS (9) 10-5: They clinched for the FIRST TIME since 1999 and the LIONS will be a dangerous bunch in the PLAYOFFS

8. TEXANS (7) 10-5: TJ YATES can't get them over the HUMP in PLAYOFF TIME and it is starting to show a little

9. FALCONS (8) 9-6: Tried to use the SAINTS as a BAROMETER but instead got a SERIOUS REALITY CHECK.....NOT READY for the BIG BOYS once again

10. BENGALS (14) 9-6: They have been battling ever since they took them 2 losses in a row to the STEELERS and RAVENS and now they get the RAVENS in the JUNGLE for a possible PLAYOFF BERTH.....WOWZA

11. GIANTS (13) 8-7: They didn't do any talking and the JETS PAID for their talking.....meanwhile the G-MEN get to HOST the COWBOYS for the NFC EAST Crown and a BERTH into WINNING TIME
