NFL power rankings after the AFC and NFC championships and a week before the Super Bowl:

1. Rams: We said last week we wouldn’t veer from our preseason top pick the rest of the season and we aren’t – in the power rankings. Our Super Bowl prediction next week, however, is still up for grabs.

2. Bengals: Cincinnati just keeps winning. Is there any reason to think a road Super Bowl in L.A. would be any different? Not sure we’d bet against them.

ELIMINATED

3. Chiefs: After all of the debate about overtime, how many people assumed the coinflip sealed the Bengals’ fate just like the Bills’ a week before? Well, that’s why you play the games and bring your defense.

4. 49ers: A solid season with a lame-duck quarterback and two playoff upsets. Time to see what Trey Lance can do.
