2025 NFL Power Rankings

Tony Mario Last Updated: January 1, 2025.

1. Las Vegas Raiders 2-14-0
   
   
   Las Vegas went into New England and won. They looked like a completely different team against the Los Angeles Chargers showing their issues on the offensive line, at wide receiver, and everywhere on defense outside of defensive end. They looked worse in week 3 against a backup quarterback in Marcus Mariota. Even Draft Utopia's Raiders fan Oren is picking the Chicago Bears to beat the Raiders in week 4 despite the fact that I picked the Raiders to win at home. Las Vegas Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller is on injured reserve and will need 6-10 weeks to recover from his injury. He's probably done for the season, but luckily the Raiders extended him before his injury. Las Vegas only won two games early in the season against New England and Tennessee. All Las Vegas has to do is lose to the Kansas City Chiefs in week 18 and they secure the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft after being eliminated from the playoff picture. They can draft Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman winning quarterback with that selection.

2. Arizona Cardinals 3-13-0
   
   
   Arizona only beat New Orleans by a touchdown. Arizona did enough to win, but I was expecting the Cardinals to do more offensively. Arizona almost blew a 27-3 lead to the Carolina Panthers in week 2. Arizona only won one game since starting 2-0 after Kyler Murray went on injured reserve. Arizona is the fifth and final team eliminated from the playoff picture heading into week 14 with Jacoby Brissett's lone win coming on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. Arizona has the second worse quarterback situation outside of the Raiders in my opinion since they gave up on Kyler Murray for a scrub quarterback with a significanlly lower ceiling. Look how much better the New England Patriots are without Jacoby Brissett. Sources tell me that Arizona is set to retain head coach Jonathan Gannon and will part ways with offensive coordinator Drew Petzing.

3. New York Jets 3-13-0
   
   
   The New York Jets do not have Alijah Vera-Tucker at right guard for the rest of the season. New York moved their starting center Joe Tippman to right guard promoting backup center Josh Myers to starting center after Alijah Vera-Tucker's injury. This will hurt the New York Jets offensive line in terms of chemistry as the season progresses. Olumuyiwa Fashanu the New York Jets 2024 first round pick at left tackle and Armand Membou the New York Jets 2025 first round pick at right tackle both looked fantastic in week 1 against Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt which will be one of the tougher pass rushing duos the New York Jets face all season. New York lost their week 2 game. New York almost beat Tampa Bay without Justin Fields. Whoever loses the week 4 Monday Night game between the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins will secure a spot in the bottom four provided that the New Orleans Saints, New York Giants, and Tennessee Titans keep losing. New York did trade for Jarvis Brownlee Jr., but he's not starting next to Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner. New York began the year as the last team to win a game. New York even traded Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner and Quinen Williams for draft pcks. Tennessee is now 3-9 since being the last NFL team to win a game, but man does this team suck to the point where they don't even belong in the top 20. Most people have the Jets much lower than I do, but Tyrod Taylor has brought a spark Justin Fields lacked, but New York is out of the Playoff Picture. Also, Olu Fashanu looks amazing at left tackle to the point where he might get a second contract. Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor both have dealt with injuries. New York's quarterback situation has gotten so ugly that undrafted rookie Brady Cook, the former Missouri Tigers quarterback is starting for the New York Jets. Brady Cook has 1 touchdown and 7 interceptions as Brady Cook is making Tim Boyle look like Chuck Norris or Tom Brady, the Chuck Norris of quarterbacks the GOAT.

4. New York Giants 3-13-0
   
   
   The New York Giants looked awful in their opening game. Russell Wilson is starting again after rumors about Jaxson Dart starting surfaced. Also left tackle Andrew Thomas was injured in week 1. Russell Wilson took the New York Giants to overtime against Dallas without Andrew Thomas at left tackle. Andrew Thomas got injured again, Malik Nabers didn't practice after getting injured. New York is starting Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo. Malik Nabers, Andrew Thomas, and Theo Johnson were cleared to play in week 4 after getting injured in week 3. Malik Nabers tore his ACL in week 4 and is out for the entire regular season. Jaxson Dart could not win without Malik Nabers. Cam Skattebo tore his ACL as well. The New York Giants are also eliminated from the playoff hunt. Also thanks to Abdul Carter looking at porn during a team meeting the New York Giants have blocked all adult pornography websites at their team facilities. The New York Giants beat the meager Las Vegas Raiders and ended up costing themselves the chance to draft first overall once again.

5. Tennessee Titans 3-13-0
   
   
   Tennessee drafted Cam Ward first overall. The rest of the team needs a lot of work as the offensive line and pass rush both need to be fixed before Tennessee can contend. I'm not sure this coaching staff will get enough time to fix all the issues in Tennessee. Tennessee traded their number one cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. a 2024 fifth round pick that took the number one cornerback job from L'Jarius Sneed to the New York Jets for a sixth round pick. Tennessee managed to win a game that they were supposed to lose and somehow that is still the Titans only win even as this first NFL Power Rankings update got posted since week 5. The Tennessee Titans are out of of the playoffs.
   
   
   Previously Ranked: 32nd
   
   
   
   
   
6. Cleveland Browns 4-12-0
   
   
   The Cleveland Browns have the worst quarterback, running back, and offensive tackle situation of any team in the NFL thanks to Dawand Jones and Jack Conklin being injured at left tackle and right tackle. Yes they have a good defense, but until the offense gets fixed, they will be stuck in a rebuild. Myles Garrett could break Michael Strahan's sack record and win his second defensive player of the year award, but Cleveland might only win 2-5 games due to how woeful their offense is. Cleveland has both offensive tackles injured and while I moved them up in the power rankings to 25 for beating a playoff team in Green Bay it was easily the flukiest win of the 2025 NFL Season so far. Cleveland did trade for Jacksonville Jaugars field cornerback Tyson Campbell. Cleveland also benched Dillon Gabriel for Shedeur Sanders. Shedeur told Gabriel to get the fuck out of here after returning from an injury. Cleveland is out of the playoff picture. Whether he fires General Manager Andrew Berry or head coach Kevin Stefanski remains to be seen. If you look at the Cleveland Browns stadium renderings there is a quarterback with the number two hiking the football. Cleveland currently does not have a quarterback with that number on their roster which leads me to believe that Cleveland's established franchise quarterback when the new stadium opens in Brook Park is not on the current roster.

7. Washington Commanders 4-12-0
   
   
   Washington began the year 3-2. Then Jayden Daniels got injured and the Washington Commanders began a seven game losing streak. The Washington Commanders have been colder than Dan Snyder's 401K account after he sold the Washington Commanders largely due to the Jayden Daniels injury. However, they did take one of my top teams to overtime. Washington has ended up having to start their third string quarterback Josh Johnson. Laremy Tunsil is also injured. Washington is out of the playoff picture.

8. Kansas City Chiefs 6-10-0
   
   
   Kansas City dropped to 6-6 after losing to Dallas on Thanksgiving. Josh Simmons has been placed on injured reserve and will be back in week 18 at the earliest. Jawaan Taylor and Trey Smith are injured on the offensive line. Trent McDuffie is injured at cornerback too. Both Patrick Mahomes and Gardner Minshew II suffered season ending injuries. Third string quarterback Chris Oladokun is starting now. Kansas City has been eliminated from the playoff picture.

9. New Orleans Saints 6-10-0
   
   
   New Orleans got under the salary cap for this season, but is 14 million over the cap for 2026. Also I don't think the New Orleans Saints have their quarterback of the future ont this franchise. New Orleans changed their defensive scheme from a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme. Trevor Penning and Taliese Fuaga are injured on the offensive line too. Kelvin Banks Jr. looked good against Arizona Cardinals 3-4 right outside linebacker Josh Sweat in the season opener for the New Orleans Saints as the 2025 first round pick out of Texas held his own versus Sweat. Kelvin Banks Jr. did give up a sack in week 2 veruss Nick Bosa. New Orleans got whooped in week 3 by Seattle trailing 38-3 at halftime and plays the Buffalo Bills in week 4. New Orleans put up more of a fight against Buffalo. New Orleans is 0-4 and will have two home games against the New York Giants and the New England Patriots. Those games and their home game against their division rival Atlanta Falcons are the only winnable games on the New Orleans Saints entire schedule. New Orleans beat the New York Giants and upset the Carolina Panthers. Spencer Rattler was benched for Tyler Shough. New Orleans is also the third team to be eliminated from this years NFL Playoffs. Tyler Shough has won four in a row and now is the favorite to win Offensive Rookie Of The Year despite the New Orleans Saints being eliminated from the playoff picture.

10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 7-9-0
    
    
    Tampa Bay is finally starting to get healthy again at wide receiver and running back. Baker Mayfield looked useless without left tackle Tristan Wirfs in week 17. Tampa Bay can still win the NFC South, but Tampa Bay looks like the worst team that is still in the NFL Playoff Picture. Vance Joseph is saying Baker Mayfield needs to play better as Joseph is throwing him under the bus like former San Jose Sharks, Vegas Golden Knights, and Dallas Stars head coach Peter DeBoer.

11. Miami Dolphins 7-9-0
    
    
    Miami benched Tua Tagovailoa for Quinn Ewers. Jason Marshall Jr. looked like a number one cornerback against Tampa Bay too. Miami may have found their quarterback of the future and number one cornerback of the future despite being eliminated from the playoff picture. Mike McDaniel is expected to be back next year.
    
    
    Previously Ranked: 20th
    
    
    
    
    
12. Cincinnati Bengals 6-10-0
    
    
    The good news is Cincinnati is 5-2 when Joe Burrow starts. The bad news is they have lost too many games for that to probably matter this season. Cincinnati got eliminated from the playoff picture already.

13. Indianapolis Colts 8-8-0
    
    
    Daniel Jones dominated in his first start. Indianapolis gets Denver at home in week 2. Right now through one week, Indianapolis is my team to beat in the AFC South Division. Indianapolis was first in my power rankings at one point in the season before Daniel Jones tore his ACL. Indianapolis also traded two first round picks for Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner. Philip Rivers started a few games, but with the Colts out of playoff contention, he's retiring again and Riley Leonard will start the season finale.

14. Dallas Cowboys 7-8-1
    
    
    Dallas lost their season opener to Philadelphia. CeeDee Lamb dropped too many passes. Trading Micah Parsons away is why the Dallas Cowboys enter week 2 of my power rankings in the bottom ten. Dallas defeated the New York Giants in overtime. Dallas Cowboys also traded for Quinnen Williams. Dallas did defeat the last two Super Bowl Champions. Dallas is not a serious contender for me to get the last wild card despite the Dallas Cowboys noteworthy hot streak. Dallas is still playing starters trying to win despite being eliminated form the playoff picture.

15. Atlanta Falcons 7-9-0
    
    
    Atlanta lost right tackle Kaleb McGary the blindside to Michael Penix Jr. to a season ending injury. Michael Penix Jr. began the season in the top 5 in passing yards. Atlanta's peak was a Monday Night Football win over Buffalo in week 6 to improve to 4-2. Atlanta lost six in a row, but has won three of their last four after going from 4-2 to 4-8 Atlanta has beaten some teams the last few weeks and looks a lot better on paper. Atlanta has a chance to play spoiler in the NFC South Division and help Carolina clinch the Division even if Tampa Bay beats Carolina. Baker Mayfield's playoff fate is in Ron Torbert's hands.

16. Carolina Panthers 8-8-0
    
    
    Bryce Young does deserve some credit for rallying the Carolina Panthers after a 1-3 start. Outside of a road win where he threw for 445 passing yards against Atlanta in an overtime win, Bryce Young has been woefully inconsistent. Carolina is going to give him a fifth year tender. Ikem Ekwonu looks like a left tackle that is going to get paid soon. The fact that I have Carolina ranked outside of the top sixteen as the top NFC South team tells you everything you need to know about this division.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers 9-7-0
    
    
    Pittsburgh lost left tackle Broderick Jones to a season ending injury. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf got a two game suspension for punching a Detroit Lions fan. The same Detroit Lions fan that instigated him when Seattle played Detroit on Monday Night Football in 2024. T.J. Watt is also recovering from a punctured lung.

18. Baltimore Ravens 8-8-0
    
    
    I had Baltimore going 12-5 and losing to Buffalo in week 1. Baltimore had a ton of injuries, but they are now fully healthy. Lamar Jackson has to get out of this cold streak he's been in if the Baltimore Ravens want to hold onto the AFC North Division. Baltimore is still my pick to win the AFC North, but they have been way too streaky to do anything past the regular season. What's crazy is this company's founder has them wining the Super Bowl. Basically the Baltimore Ravens are the most volatile team in the NFL. Baltimore could go all the way, but they could also lose in the wild card. This is easily the most volatile AFC team.

19. Detroit Lions 8-8-0
    
    
    Detroit lost both coordinators to head coaching gigs. Ben Johnson stole Dan Campbell's mojo after the Chicago win. Multiple people on the Draft Utopia team agree with this Austin Powers NFL crackpot theory. In all seriousness, Detroit got swept by Minnesota as Minnesota eliminated Detroit from the playoff picture with a third string quarterback.
    
    
    Previously Ranked: 7th
    
    
    
    
    
20. Minnesota Vikings 8-8-0
    
    
    Minnesota cannot make the playoffs. They have been playing well despite the injuries and the crazy part is Minnesota can finish the regular season with a winning record if they beat Green Bay at home. If Dallas had beaten Green Bay in the overtime time where Green Bay and Dallas tied, the Green Bay Packers VS Minnesota Vikings game this weekend would be for the final NFC Wild Card spot. Instead, all of the NFC Wild Card spots are locked up. Minnesota can still play for a winning record by playing for pride.

21. Green Bay Packers 9-6-1
    
    
    Green Bay dominated Detroit. They even gave their injury prone wide receiver Christian Watson a one year extension. Micah Parsons energized this defense with the former Dallas Cowboys sack artist getting traded to Green Bay for two first round picks. Green Bay dominated Washington too. Green Bay laid an egg against Cleveland, but I think they got caught red handed looking ahead to the Dallas Cowboys game after their left tackle predicted a 17-0 record. Green Bay could beat the NFC West Champion and possibly the Detroit Lions with home field. I think Green Bay was my second best NFC team behind Chicago in my last power rankings. If they can get by Chicago in the playoffs, there is a chance they could go on a run. With how suspect the secondary has been, signing Trevon Diggs feels like a desperate move to create a spark. If it works, you will have Trevon Diggs, Nate Hobbs if he comes back, and KeiSean Nixon as your nickel cornerback which gives you the flexibility to play your current nickel cornerback as a dime cornerback or a third safety. There have been injuries at center and right tackle on this offensive line too. Tucker Kraft and Micah Parsons tore their ACLs, but Green Bay has all of their wide receivers healthy now with Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks, and Savion Williams all fully healthy at wide receiver. Luke Musgrave was drafted ahead of Tucker Kraft in the 2023 NFL Draft and while he got demoted to tight end two when Kraft was healthy, he had more upside than Kraft coming out of college and can be the number one tight end. Josh Whyle the former Tennessee Titans backup tight end is now on the Green Bay Packers as a number two tight end. Whyle is a good number two tight end, but he's not a number one tight end. With all this offensive depth, Green Bay could make a run if the defense steps up.

22. Los Angeles Chargers 11-5-0
    
    
    The Los Angeles Chargers are due for a wild card win with Justin Herbert at some point. Los Angeles has a ton of injuries on the offensive line, which is why the Los Angeles Chargers will do just enough to secure the last wild card spot, but nothing more than that this season. Trey Lance is starting the week 18 game, so it is safe to say the Los Angeles Chargers will be the 7 seed in the AFC. I think they could beat an AFC North team, but they did not do enough to earn the 5 seed in the AFC. Los Angeles would need the Colts to beat Houston with Riley Leonard and would need the Buffalo Bills to lose to the New York Jets, which will not happen even if the Jets rest their starters.

23. Los Angeles Rams 11-5-0
    
    
    Los Angeles will not win the division. I cannot see Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams defeating a cold weather team on the road. I do not turst this secondary.

24. Houston Texans 11-5-0
    
    
    Houston has gotten most players back from their injuries. Houston's defense is clicking. C.J. Stroud is back. Houston will most likely play Baltimore in the wild card. I think Houston has a better chance to get to the Divisional Round than Buffalo. Buffalo is still a better team on paper despite Houston defeating the Buffalo Bills with Davis Mills on Thursday Night Football. Houston did have the only two rookie wide receivers to win player of the game complimenting veteran Nico Collins and the Houston Texans tied the New England Patriots with four rookies from their draft that won player of the game. Houston was also one of two teams to have both their number one and number two cornerback win player of the game.

25. Buffalo Bills 11-5-0
    
    
    Buffalo was my preseason pick to win the AFC before I had them losing to the Super Bowl to the next team on my list. Ed Oliver is also injured. Buffalo has enough talent to win the Super Bowl if Ed Oliver comes back, but the Buffalo Bills are the most volatile NFL team outside of the Baltimore Ravens. Buffalo will most likely play Jacksonville, but if they lose to the New York Jets, Buffalo would play New England a third time after defeating them in New England after trailing 21-0. If Buffalo wins and Riley Leonard defeats the Houston Texans on the road, Buffalo can luck out and draw the AFC North winner. This is Buffalo's lone path to the Divisional Round.
    
    
    
    
    
    
26. Philadelphia Eagles 11-5-0
    
    
    Philadelphia is the team I picked to win the NFC this season with them repeating over Buffalo. With how inconsistent their offensive coordinator has been, I'm beginnning to have doubts they can win a playoff game. Philadelphia could win a wild card game at Lincoln Financial Field, but that is their ceiling. Green Bay will play the one seed in the NFC if they get by Chicago on the west coast. Philadelphia's only path to an NFC Title game is if the NFC South Champion defeats the first wild card team and Green Bay defeats Chicago. Chicago is playing their starters versus Detroit while Philadelphia is resting them in week 18 accepting their fate as the 3 seed. I cannot see Philadelphia defeating Seattle or San Francisco in the Divisional Round even with home field given how inconsistent their offensive coordinator has been this season. Lane Johnson has missed time at right tackle and that will cripple Philadelphia against either of those NFC West teams unless Lane Johnson returns.

27. Chicago Bears 11-5-0
    
    
    Caleb Williams will have a fully healthy defense for the playoffs. Chicago also has Ozzy Trapilo at left tackle. The 4-3 left end spot next to Montez Sweat is the only thing that keeps the Chicago Bears from being a complete team. Austin Booker has 4.5 sacks and has had a 0.5 sack in each of his last three games with Booker getting hot at the right time. Chicago is complete enough as a team to get to the NFC Championship, but I cannot see them defeating either Seattle or San Francisco on the road in an NFC Championship game. The Sunday Night Football game validated this.

28. San Francisco 49ers 12-4-0
    
    
    San Francisco has most of their offense back from injuries. Scoring 42 on Chicago without George Kittle at tight end or Trent Williams at left tackle is impressive. Nick Bosa, Mykel Williams, and Fred Warner are all out with season ending injuries. As long as San Francisco does not face a playoff team with four good wide receivers and tight ends to compliment those wide receivers, they can win a playoff game. They are playing Seattle, a team they defeated in week 1 on the road in Seattle for the 1 seed in the NFC in week 18 in front of their home crowd. Teams with four good wide receivers include the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All of these teams present matchup problems for San Francisco. Getting the 1 seed and avoiding as many of those teams as possible is the only path to Super Bowl 60 for San Francisco.

29. Denver Broncos 13-3-0
    
    
    Denver owns the tiebreaker over New England when both teams are 13-3. Denver has a fully healthy defense and has managed to extend everyone on their roster outside of John Franklin-Myers at 3-4 right end. Denver even extended Luke Wattenberg at center before he got injured as they are finding a way to win games even without star left guard Ben Powers. Their backup center Alex Forsyth, the center that hiked the football to Bo Nix at Oregon has kicked ass too. As long as Bo Nix manages the game and avoids turnovers, the sky feels like the limit for Bo Nix. Denver will get the 1 seed and I believe Bo Nix can win a playoff game in that scenario. After watching Jacksonville go in and defeat Denver so effortlessly, I believe the winner of the Divisional Round game between Jacksonville and New England will ultimately win the AFC. It's hard to decide between the top 3 seeds. Denver has the best right side of the offensive line of the three AFC teams as the interior has had to step up with Ben Powers out with an injury. New England has the interior defensive line with their 3-4 scheme as Christian Barmore will be a matchup problem for Denver's backup 3-4 right end, but Denver might be able to double team him. Milton Williams will be problematic, but Denver has a right guard that won player of the game multiple times this season in Quinn Meinerz the only right guard to do that.

30. New England Patriots 13-3-0
    
    
    New England has won ten straight since the 1-2 start. New England lost to Buffalo, but has rebounded securing the AFC East Division. Will Campbell was a full participant in practice, so New England will more than likely get their rookie blindside back in week 18. Even if Will Campbell doesn't play in week 18, he will be back by New England's wild card game. Milton Williams is also practicing next to Barmore in a limited capacity. Even with Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins injured, New England has Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism III who all showed they were capable of starting at wide receiver. Our companies CEO Chris had starter potential grades on both Kyle Willimas and Efton Chism III. Both guys looked good in relief of Boutte and Hollins and if they have more upside then those two, there will not be a drop off in the New England Patriots offense with the depth New England has at wide receiver. If New England is fully healthy, they are gonna be a force. I think the winner of the Jacksonville VS New England divisional round game wins the AFC. New England has the best interior offensive line of these three teams with Jared Wilson, Garrett Bradbury, and Michael Onwenu. Ben Brown can substitute in at left guard or right guard as well. Verdarian Lowe and Thayer Munford Jr. have been good as the backup left tackle and backup right tackle. Harold Landry III and K'Lavon Chaisson have both been effective at times.

31. Jacksonville Jaguars 12-4-0
    
    
    Jacksonville started the year hot. Then they traded Tyson Campbell to Cleveland. Jacksonville has hit their stride the last few weeks, so they got momentum. Jacksonville has the best AFC quarterback not named Drake Maye based on whose stepped up down the stretch. Jacksonville was the only AFC team to have both offensive tackles win player of the game meaning Trevor Lawrence has th best protection from his offensive tackles. Travis Etienne is the best running back in the AFC outside of James Cook among the teams that are projected to make this years playoffs. This defensive line is strong too. Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers have emerged as complimentary pieces to Brian Thomas Jr. Both Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker are outstanding 4-3 defensive ends off the edge. This front 7 is very good. If the secondary steps up, this is the best AFC team in my honest opinion.

32. Seattle Seahawks 13-3-0
    
    
    Seattle is coming off a shutout. Seattle also has a stout offensive line and numerous weapons such as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, and Tory Horton. Seattle was the only NFL team with two offensive tackles and two cornerback to win player of the game. Seattle's rookie strong safety Nick Emmanwori won player of the game and would get my vote for Defensive Rookie Of The Year. You could argue that this is Seattle's best secondary since the Legion Of Boom with Julian Love back in this lineup at free safety. Seattle enters week 18 as my number one team and as of these power rankings, my current Super Bowl pick is Seattle over Jacksonville.
