NFL Rankings - 1 Dec

Buffalo and New England both had very good performances over the long weekend, and they are now projected to finish tied for the AFC East title, which I am currently giving to Buffalo as the higher-rated team since they have not met yet in the regular season. Minnesota moved back into the final playoff spot in the NFC, knocking the Eagles back out, but nearly every team still has a chance on that side. Here are my full current rankings and playoff picks:
