2025 NFL Predictions

No joke, these will probably be some terrible picks. I have not been following the NFL off-season as much as I have in years past. So if you are using these predictions for gambling purposes…you’re an idiot.

AFC

EASTNORTHSOUTHWEST
Bills (12-5)Ravens (12-5)Texans (10-7)Chiefs (13-4)
Patriots (9-8)Bengals (10-7)Jaguars (7-10)Broncos (11-6)
Jets (8-9)Steelers (10-7)Titans (7-10)Chargers (11-6)
Dolphins (6-11)Browns (7-10)Colts (4-13)Raiders (8-9)

I feel like the West is the toughest division, the Chiefs always dominate, but I think the Broncos and Chargers are finally catching up to them. The South is the worst division, who knows if any team will even have a winning record. The East is still owned by the Bills, but I think the Patriots and Jets are moving the right direction. The Ravens have Lamar Jackson, so they have to be the favorite in the North. I believe the Bengals and Steelers will give them a run for their money though. The Bengals will do it with a good, healthy offense. The Steelers with a solid defense.
Wild Cards: Broncos, Chargers, Bengals

NFC

EASTNORTHSOUTHWEST
Eagles (13-4)Packers (13-4)Buccaneers (9-8)49ers (11-6)
Commanders (11-6)Lions (12-5)Falcons (7-10)Rams (10-7)
Giants (7-10)Vikings (10-7)Panthers (6-11)Cardinals (7-10)
Cowboys (7-10)Bears (8-9)Saints (3-14)Seahawks (5-12)

The Eagles, Packers, and Lions seem to be the teams to beat. The North is probably the hardest division, while the South is the worst. The Commanders will be right there all year with the Eagles. I think the 49ers return to form and win the West.
Wild Cards: Lions, Commanders, Vikings

PLAYOFFS

AFC WILD CARD ROUND: Bills over Bengals, Chargers over Ravens, Broncos over Texans
NFC WILD CARD ROUND: 
Packers over Vikings, Commanders over 49ers, Lions over Buccaneers
AFC DIVISIONAL ROUND: Chargers over Chiefs, Bills over Broncos
NFC DIVISIONAL ROUND: Eagles over Commanders, Packers over Lions
AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: Bills over Chargers
NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME: Packers over Eagles
SUPER BOWL: Packers over Bills

AWARDS

MVP: Jordan Love (Packers)
Coach of the Year: Matt LaFleur (Packers)
Offensive POY: Ja’Marr Chase (Bengals)
Defensive POY: Micah Parsons (Packers)
Offensive ROY: Cam Ward (Titans)
Defensive ROY: Abdul Carter (Giants)
Comeback POY: Aidan Hutchinson (Lions)

Eventually picking the Packers and Bills for the Super Bowl will have to be correct. Also, can I rant a bit about how I hate the Comeback Player of the Year award? I hate that if a player gets hurt, and comes back the next year and plays at the same level as previously, they win the award. To me a comeback player is someone people thought was done (Alex Smith is a good example of someone having an injury where no one thought he was coming back OR a player like Kurt Warner–out of the league, then comes back. Geno Smith, someone people thought was a major bust…those guys made a comeback). Whatever, I am alone in this belief.
