Green Bay is the new No. 1 in the rankings, overtaking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are now No. 3 after their shutout loss against the New Orleans Saints.

The Packers are rolling as winners of three straight games, which included taking down fellow NFC contender the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has hit another level during this stretch, and it's no surprise he finds himself at the top of the MVP conversation with a handful of games left.

Green Bay will face the Cleveland Browns in Week 16, followed by the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions. The Packers control their own destiny, which is a major luxury as the playoffs approach.
