The NFC's No. 2 seed is right below us at No. five in the Madden NFL 23 Power Rankings for the playoffs. This seems low. But look at the teams ahead of them, and then figure out who is likely to drop. Ravens? Patriots? Maybe, but those teams are playoff-tested. They've been here before Madden 23 Coins, and they know what the playoffs mean. I'm not knocking the 49ers as they're more of an unknown right now. Maybe they can dominate all of the Saints next weekend to prove us all wrong but until they show me that they can compete at this level I'm going to keep them in the bottom of the list other teams.

I'm a huge supporter of the way the Giants are currently doing. It all seems so similar to four years ago , when the Giants went on a playoff and won the Super Bowl. They're a well-established team. Defensive line solid and can be very difficult for opposing quarterbacks.

Eli Manning is good enough to win the Super Bowl with. The Giants have plenty of positive things going their way. The reason they're not ranked more highly is because they're bit inconsistent for me. They only went 9-7 during the regular season. And even though they appear to be growing in popularity, I'm not able to place them ahead of teams who have been more consistent over the last 18 weeks.

It's hard to look at Texans to not be thinking "All defence and offense." Those are the old Texans. The current Texans squad is built on defense. Wade Phillips has transformed that team into one among the top teams in the league. The running game, just like the defense, is terrific.

This is a league about quarterbacks and the Texans have a problem in that department. Don't take this as an attack on T.J. Yates. He's only a rookie, an undrafted fifth rounder or something Buy Madden nfl 23 Coins, and I'm not sure whether he's fit enough for playing in a divisional match against a team that's fielded the most effective defense over the past decade.
