NOTES:  The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have shown  reason to doubt them in 2022:

With Brown released and wide receiver Chris Godwin out for the season, Tampa Bay will rely even more heavily on wideouts Mike Evans, Tyler Johnson, Scotty Miller and Breshad Perriman.

 But, do you want to bet against Tom Brady? Good luck with that! 

On the other hand the Packers are just one playoff win away from the NFC Championship and have the easiest route.

      BUT WHO IS HUNGRIEST??

 Do you ever wonder about the “true strength”of your favorite NFL team? Power rankings by sportswriters often are hype-based and do not reflect statistical reality. It takes  an  unbiased  intelligent computer to do the job!

---

Our exclusive Artificial Intelligence generated NFL power  rankings are based on 5 proprietary  mathematical ranking systems developed  and optimized by our computer!  These  systems  are designed to:

   1. Determine the winner of the game

   2. Minimize difference between predicted margin and actual margin

   3. Minimize  squared difference between  predicted margin and actual margin

   4. Minimize difference between predicted total and actual total

   5. Minimize  squared  difference between predicted total and actual total

---

Scoring  machine learning performance along these 5 dimensions allows our AI system to  adapt to new information quickly and synergistically.  Observed over time we are able to get an accurate assessment of current and evolving team strengths and weaknesses.

---

Each AI  point separating teams below is worth 1.0 actual point. For a rough prediction, average offenses versus opponent defenses for home versus visitors.  The homefield (dis)advantage is already incorporated in the power numbers.

For  advanced accuracy and convenience, please consult the deep learning system’s game-specific predictions, which use additional learned factors and weights.
