NFL Power Rankings Online Betting
With the start of the 2025 NFL season fast approaching, teams have solidified their rosters through the draft, free agency and trades, all leading up to training camps, which open in mid-July. The exhibition season gets underway with the Hall of Fame Game between the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions on Thursday, July 31. The 2025 regular season opens with a NFC East confrontation between the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, September 4. With that in mind, it's time to start evaluating the NFL power rankings. The names at the top should come as no surprise. But the further down the power ranking list we go there will be some surprises.
Let’s take a look at the 2025 NFL power rankings heading into summer training camp.

NFL Power Rankings
1. Philadelphia Eagles: Until someone beats them the Eagles are the defending champs and that’s why they are at the top of the list. The Eagles didn’t do a lot during the offseason but they didn’t have to with the young core from a team that went 14-3 last regular season returning, their second 14-win campaign in three years. Jalen Hurts is a star and Saquon Barkley rushed for more than 2,000 yards last season, but the defense sets Philly apart.
2. Buffalo Bills: The championship window is still open for the Bills and with Josh Allen locked up with a team friendly deal the supporting cast is strong. Injuries plagued them on defense and the club went heavy on that side of the ball in the draft as well as adding Joey Bosa. If healthy, Bosa could be the missing link. The Bills probably should have beaten the Chiefs in last season’s AFC Championship and they will beat their nemesis at some point, right?
3. Baltimore Ravens: Getting to the playoffs hasn’t been a problem for the Ravens, who’ve qualified 12 times under John Harbaugh. However, they haven’t had much success once there staining the legacy of two-time NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. They upgraded the weakest part of the club last season with solid adds to the secondary and LJ continues to play at a high level pretty much guaranteeing a top 10 offense.
4. Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs were exposed in a humbling Super Bowl loss to the Eagles last season, but the Andy Reid-Patrick Mahomes combo can’t be ignored. The Chiefs have won at least 10 games in each of the last 10 seasons with a NFL best tying 15 victories last year. Great teams find ways to win games, but it’s hard to expect KC to flourish in as many close games as they did a season ago. The Chiefs are still a contender, but their reign in the AFC is slipping.
5. Detroit Lions: Detroit’s storybook last season was derailed in the playoffs and if the team learns from what happened they will be a force. The price of success was felt when both coordinators left for head jobs, but the talent is in place to continue the run Dan Campbell started in 2022. The offense is electric and having Aiden Hutchinson back on the D-line should strengthen a unit that was ravaged by Washington in the Divisional Round.
6. Washington Commanders: The surprise team of the 2024 season, the team formerly known as the Redskins was 27th in this poll last season and battled the Eagles till the end for the NFC East crown. Jayden Daniels was spectacular throwing for nearly 3,600 yards and 25 TDs while leading the club with 891 rushing yards during the regular season. He now has the help of Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil.
7. Los Angeles Rams: The Rams flashed an unexpectedly strong defense last year winning the NFC West and playing the Eagles tight in a blizzard in the divisional round. They ended the regular season holding three of their final four opponents to fewer than 10 points. Matthew Stafford is back to run Sean McVay’s offense with a new toy Davante Adams.
8. Los Angeles Chargers: Wherever Jim Harbaugh coaches his teams always win. His first season with the Chargers was no different as the Bolts more than doubled their win total from the previous campaign making the playoffs with 11 victories. However, they struggled against the better teams, including a 32-12 wild card game loss to Houston. And we’re still waiting for Justin Herbert to bust loose.
9. San Francisco 49ers: The Niners are poised to bounce back from a disastrous season in a big way. Few teams were ravaged by injuries as much as this club and just slight better luck in that department will help. They also have a soft schedule following their last place finish in the NFC West. This isn’t a last place team, though.
10. Minnesota Vikings: The torch has been passed to J.J. McCarthy after Sam Darnold walked and that might be the only concern with the club. McCarthy was coach Kevin O’Connell’s pick to lead the team and now he has the chance to show why. He’s still an unknown, but the rest of the roster is deep.
The Rest in order of Power Rankings
