If December is the month of Christmas for many people, in the NFL it is also the month of the Packers. Since the arrival of Matt LaFleur at the head of the franchise, the team has still not lost in the last month of the year. With a victory against the Chiefs, the series will continue and it will allow the Packers to climb in this ranking (+6). For the first time this season, they enter the Top 10.
At the same time, the Eagles (-2) give up their place at the top of the Power Ranking for the first time since week 7 and it is the 49ers (+2) who benefit from it. In the formations in difficulty this week we can note the Steelers (-4)the Browns (-5) and the Saints (-5).
As a reminder, this hierarchy is not only based on the number of successes, but also on current form. If two teams are close and haven't played each other recently, one wonders which one would win if the match were played today. Beating the strongest is not going to propel you to the top in the blink of an eye. Losing to one of the dunces won't plunge you into the abyss either. One can win and tumble, bow and climb. This is the merciless law of Power Ranking…
