Things are happening at Christmas! The end of the season is approaching and the holiday period is always conducive to movement in the Power Ranking. This year is no exception to the rule with a new team at the top of this ranking: Baltimore.
The Ravens (+1) take the place of the 49ers (-2), but they are not the only ones to climb. This is the case for the Rams (+7)the Buccaneers (+5) or even Raiders (+6) who carry out the great operations of the week. Conversely, it's complicated for the Bengals (-5)the Jaguars (-5) or the Colts (-6).
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…
