GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2013 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the new No. 1 team and the Green Bay Packers moved up to No. 4 in Packers On SI\u2019s Consensus NFL Power Rankings for Week 7.<\/p>\n

Our Consensus Power Rankings take eight sets of national power rankings and turn them into one superior power ranking. This week, the only consensus is Tampa Bay is the best team in the NFL. The Bucs received seven of the eight first-place votes.<\/p>\n

After that, it\u2019s nothing but mayhem after a chaos-filled Week 6.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Rams are No. 5. They range from No. 2 to No. 11.<\/p>\n

The Buffalo Bills are No. 7. They range from No. 3 to No. 16.<\/p>\n

The Seattle Seahawks are No. 8. They range from No. 3 to No. 13.<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs are No. 9. They received the one first-place vote that didn\u2019t go to the Buccaneers. They also ranked 10th, 11th and 13th.<\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh Steelers, who will host the Packers next week, are No. 11. They range from No. 3 to No. 15.<\/p>\n

The Packers were seventh at this time last week. They were No. 3 after their 2-0 start but fell to sixth after losing to Cleveland and eighth after tying Dallas.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where you\u2019ll find the Packers in this week\u2019s Consensus rankings, with their individual marks ranging from second to ninth. Check out the longer analysis at the links.<\/p>\n

The Packers rocketed up five spots in Pete Prisco\u2019s rankings, even though they didn\u2019t finish off the struggling Bengals into the final moments.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt 3-1-1, they came off their bye and handled the Bengals \u2013 even if it wasn’t pretty \u2013 as the defense showed better than it did in the loss to the Cowboys. They’ve been hit hard by injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fox Sports: 4th<\/h2>\n

Green Bay climbed three spots in Ralph Vacchiano\u2019s rankings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe score was a little closer than it should\u2019ve been, but the Packers’ nine-point win over the Bengals was more convincing than it looked. That\u2019s not unusual for Green Bay.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Josh Kendall\u2019s rankings, the Packers moved up four spots from last week.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s theme is fantasy focus, with this note about Romeo Doubs: \u201cDoubs was the third Green Bay wide receiver to be selected by fantasy managers and had an ADP of 160 this year. So far, he\u2019s the Packers\u2019 most productive pass catcher and the 77th-highest fantasy scorer (13.08 ppg).\u201d Not mentioned was that three of Doubs\u2019 four touchdowns came in one game. Matthew Golden also merited a note.<\/p>\n

LaFleur: \u201cYou\u2019ve got to find a way to win each and every game, and you do it one day at a time, one game at a time, and if you\u2019re focused on anything other than that, you\u2019re focused on the wrong stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Me: Whatever. Let’s focus on the playoff race. \u2b07\ufe0fhttps:\/\/t.co\/DxI1oonMVa<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

NFL.com: 5th<\/h2>\n

Eric Edholm inched the Packers up one spot. He liked what he saw from Josh Jacobs and Matthew Golden. He didn\u2019t like what he saw on the other side of the ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am starting to wonder if Green Bay’s defense is truly an elite unit. It has looked pretty pedestrian in the past few games, and the Pack have forced just two turnovers all season, one on a first-half Hail Mary.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Packers moved up two spots in ESPN\u2019s beat-writer rankings. This week\u2019s theme is lesson learned. For Rob Demovsky, it\u2019s that the Packers are playing with fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Packers are the only team in the NFL that has held a double-digit lead in every game this season,\u201d he wrote. However, the Packers lost to the Browns, tied the Cowboys and had to hold off the Bengals. \u201cThey’ve established a dangerous way to live.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pro Football Talk: 6th<\/h2>\n

Mike Florio moved the Packers up three notches in his rankings. He noted: \u201cAfter a visit to Arizona, a date with Aaron Rodgers looms.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Packers held steady at No. 7 in Frank Schwab\u2019s rankings; he was less than impressed with the win over Cincinnati.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Packers did enough to beat the Bengals, but it still wasn\u2019t close to the world-beating team from the first two weeks. The Packers are still good, but maybe not quite the team they looked like very early this season. That will be determined when the schedule gets tougher.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sports Illustrated: 9th<\/h2>\n

Conor Orr, who is bullish on Jordan Love, moved the Packers up four spots.<\/p>\n

\u201cJordan Love iced the game with an absolutely beautiful throw against the Bengals. Amid this season of QB injury and uncertainty, he\u2019s right up there with Baker Mayfield in the MVP hemisphere. Behind Sam Darnold, he\u2019s the second-most efficient quarterback in the NFL right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Packers will visit the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Arizona\u2019s average rank is 24.5, with all eight individual rankings placing them between 23rd and 26th.<\/p>\n

They are 25th in Fox\u2019s rankings, with Ralph Vacchiano hitting on a common theme.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cardinals had their first 400-yard game of the season on Sunday. They had been above only 293 yards once in their first five games. Week 6 was their first game with Jacoby Brissett at QB, not Kyler Murray. Make of that what you will.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Jacoby Brissett threw for 320 yards and 2 TDs today.<\/p>\n

The last time Kyler Murray did that was 34 games and nearly three years ago (Week 8, 2022).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Latest Packers Odds<\/h2>\n

Sportsbook odds aren\u2019t included in our rankings, but they provide a useful prism to see how the team is viewed.<\/p>\n

At FanDuel Sportsbook, the Packers have the shortest Super Bowl odds among NFC teams at +700. That\u2019s just slightly longer than the favorites, the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, who are +650. The Detroit Lions are second in the NFC at +800.<\/p>\n

The Lions were the preseason favorites to win the NFC North, though the Packers took the No. 1 spot after their Week 1 win. Detroit was back on top last week but slipped after losing to the Chiefs on Sunday. With the Packers favored to beat the Cardinals on Sunday, Green Bay is -110 to win the North, followed by Detroit at +160, Minnesota at +950 and Chicago at +1100.<\/p>\n
