NFL Power Rankings Week 7: Who Are the Current Super Bowl Favorites?

On Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers proved once again that they are the favorites to return to the Super Bowl and hoist the Lombardi Trophy. The Packers improved to 6-0 with a 24-3 win over the St. Louis Rams. Though it wasn't their best performance of the season, the Packers are now the league's only unbeaten team.

Through six weeks, Green Bay has been utterly dominant on offense, and the defense is starting to catch up. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been phenomenal so far this season and is easily the front-runner for the league's MVP award.

Rodgers has completed 146-of-208 passes (70.2 percent) for 2,031 yards, with 17 touchdowns and just three interceptions. His 122.5 quarterback rating is nearly 18 points higher than Tom Brady's second-place mark of 104.8. Simply put, Rodgers has been incredible through the season's first six weeks. 

Led by Rodgers, Green Bay's offense has racked up 423.7 yards per game (fourth in the NFL) and is putting up an NFL-best 32.8 points per game. 

Defensively, the Packers do have room for improvement, as they currently rank 23rd in total yards allowed (383.7). But they have been stout against the run, surrendering just 84 yards per game, which is fifth in the league. Most of the yardage the Packers have surrendered has come through the air (299.7 yards per game), as opposing teams have had to throw the ball in an attempt to keep pace with the defending Super Bowl champs. 

Green Bay faces the hapless Minnesota Vikings next Sunday, then has a bye week before traveling to San Diego to face the 4-1 Chargers in what should be a great matchup.

Until an opponent shows it can slow down the Packers offense, they are the undisputed favorites to take home a second-straight Super Bowl title.
