2024 NFL Power Ranking Analysis After Wild Card Games

The 2024 NFL Wild Card weekend starts on Saturday and then ends on Monday. A couple of seasons ago, the league decided to only have a single bye. The Baltimore Ravens got the AFC bye, and the San Francisco 49ers got the NFC bye. The remaining twelve teams play this weekend.

Let’s take a look at the up to the moment NFL Wild Card lines as we head into Playoffs:

NFL Wild Card: Saturday, January 6th – Sunday, January 7th, 2024

NFL Wild Card Rankings By Team

1. Buffalo Bills

The victory over Miami proved that the Bills are vastly different from the team that struggled early in the season. Buffalo heads to the playoffs winners of 6-of-7. The only loss during the streak came against Philadelphia when the Eagles were good, and it came in overtime.

2. Dallas Cowboys

Dallas did what it had to win the NFC East. The Cowboys have a solid defense, Dak Prescott is putting up excellent numbers, and the team is confident. But the Boys struggle to rush the football, which could be their undoing.

3. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams boast one of the leagues top offenses. Puka Nucua, Cooper Kupp, Tyler Higbee, and Kyren Williams are impossible to stop. We know this because Matthew Stafford was unreal in the second half of the season. If the defense plays okay, it doesn’t have to play great, the Rams can win the Super Bowl.

3. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs rank behind the Rams because the offense is struggling. The O-line is having significant issues and because Patrick Mahomes doesn’t have a Tyreek Hill-like WR to throw the ball, teams have figured out how to defend Travis Kelce. The defense is playing great. The offense is the issue.  

5. Cleveland Browns

It’s still hard to believe that Joe Flacco is playing this well. It could be that Flacco has a real WR1 in Amari Cooper and, like always, the Browns’ offensive line is stellar. Cleveland fans won’t have to worry about the defense. Myles Garrett isn’t the only star. Oh, and the Browns beat the Ravens this season.

6.  Detroit Lions

Detroit is somewhat low on the power ranking for one reason. The Lions struggle to stop the pass. Detroit did a decent job against Dallas, but there have been games the Lions had to win by outscoring opponents. That’s a difficult strategy in the NFL postseason.

7. Houston Texans

Houston has the building blocks to be one of the best teams in the NFL for a long time. This season, though, the Texans are good but not great. C.J. Stroud is going to struggle against Myles Garrett and the Browns D this weekend. The Texans trip to the playoffs should be short-lived.

8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs take on the Eagles at Raymond James Stadium. Right now, Philly is a -2.5 favorite, which makes Tampa an overlay. Baker Mayfield has had a decent season. The defense has played excellent football down the stretch. There plenty of reasons to back the Buccaneers versus the Eagles.

9. Miami Dolphins

Tyreek Hill didn’t look good limping all over the field in Miami’s regular season. Tua threw one of the worst interceptions of the year to end the game. Miami doesn’t have a lot of confidence, which is why they rank eighth.

10. Green Bay Packers

Green Bay will make the Cowboys work for the win. But when it comes to it, Dak Prescott has a lot more experience than Jordan Love. So the Packers should head home after this weekend.

19. Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles lost 5 of their last 6 games. That alone makes them tough to back to do much in the playoffs. Also, the defense has forgotten to tackle, and Jalen Hurts is injured.

12. Pittsburgh Steelers

T.J. Watt lists as questionable. If Watt doesn’t play, Pittsburgh will have zero chance of beating Buffalo. Even if Watt plays, it will be difficult for the Steelers to beat the Bills.
