The 2025 NFL season is HERE! Which means it’s time for an extremely significant and critical train: NFL Energy Rankings! What differentiates these rankings from all of the others is that they’re THE solely really correct ones in your complete universe. Fairly spectacular, I do know. Let’s check out how all 32 groups stack up.
BLG’S WEEK 1 NFL POWER RANKINGS
1 – Philadelphia Eagles – The Tremendous Bowl LIX champions are on high till additional discover. They’ll doubtless have to be the primary staff to repeat as NFC East champions since 2004 to have the ability to repeat as Tremendous Bowl champions. They need to be proficient sufficient to make historical past.
2 – Kansas Metropolis Chiefs – Patrick Mahomes makes the AFC Championship Recreation each single 12 months. It’s going to occur once more this season.
3 – Buffalo Payments – Josh Allen’s going to lastly break via and make it to the Tremendous Bowl in some unspecified time in the future, proper?
4 – Baltimore Ravens – Lamar Jackson’s going to lastly break via and make it to the Tremendous Bowl in some unspecified time in the future, proper? Eh, not completely satisfied His playoff struggles have been a reasonably large downside.
5 – Inexperienced Bay Packers – The Packers have the youngest roster within the NFL. There’s motive to consider they’re getting higher, particularly after buying and selling for Micah Parsons. Trying like the highest risk to the Birds within the NFC.
6 – Detroit Lions – Large fan of Dan Campbell however dropping each coordinators is a giant downside. Particularly when Ben Johnson was so enormous for that offense. To not point out Frank Ragnow is gone.
7 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Lacking Tristan Wirfs early on may result in a gradual begin however that offense may very well be cooking as soon as he’s again. Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka, and Chris Godwin (when wholesome) is a extremely sturdy trio for Baker Mayfield to work with.
8 – Los Angeles Rams – Is Matthew Stafford positively wholesome? In that case, the Rams may very well be the No. 2 staff within the NFC. If not, they’re not going to make the playoffs.
9 – Cincinnati Bengals – That protection needs to be higher than it was final 12 months, proper? Then once more, they obtained torched by the Eagles’ backups within the preseason. We at the least know that Joe Burrow and the offense will carry their weight.
10 – Houston Texans – The Texans have been a primary regression candidate final 12 months. Now that C.J. Stroud’s sophomore droop is over, I like DeMeco Ryans’ squad to bounce again. Helps that they play in a really weak division (scroll all the way down to see the place I’ve the remainder of the AFC South groups ranked).
11 – San Francisco 49ers – The 49ers’ schedule is a cakewalk. They’re going to dominate the common season earlier than getting bounced within the playoffs.
12 – Washington Commanders – The Commanders’ resolution to aggressively push their chips in on this season is bewildering. Profiting from Jayden Daniels’ rookie contract window is vital, sure, however to not the extent the place they should mortgage their future to create the oldest roster within the NFL by far. Daniels may mitigate a number of the Commanders’ regression but when he doesn’t … this season may very well be very disappointing for them.
13 – Denver Broncos – Sean Payton deserves some advantage of the doubt. Bo Nix has not reached that time but.
14 – Chicago Bears – I’m excessive on Ben Johnson as an offensive thoughts. Is he a great head coach? We’ll see. Colour me skeptical about Caleb Williams.
15 – Minnesota Vikings – The Vikings gained so many one-score video games final 12 months. Their luck in that space will regress, as will their protection. I believe J.J. McCarthy has an opportunity to be good however it’s only a full unknown proper now.
16 – Los Angeles Chargers – Jim Harbaugh affords one of many highest flooring within the NFL. However the perpetually snake-bitten Bolts are lacking their left deal with this season.
17 – Pittsburgh Steelers – They’ll apparently by no means have a dropping document beneath Mike Tomlin. Nevertheless it’s arduous to consider they’ll really be a risk to do something within the playoffs.
18 – New England Patriots – Drake Maye is perhaps good. Mike Vrabel is price believing in. The roster nonetheless wants some work however the Pats may very well be again on the upswing.
19 – Dallas Cowboys – Who on their protection actually strikes worry within the wake of the Micah Parsons commerce? Additionally, Dak Prescott was unhealthy earlier than getting damage final 12 months, and now he’s taking part in behind a worse offensive line. Dallas may need the NFL’s worst backfield.
20 – Arizona Cardinals – Kyler Murray and Jonathan Gannon aren’t folks you need to rely on in large video games.
21 – Miami Dolphins – The Dolphins shouldn’t have good vibes with Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill seemingly not on the identical web page.
22 – Seattle Seahawks – Transferring on from Geno Smith was a great name. Transferring to Sam Darnold was not!
23 – Carolina Panthers – Bryce Younger confirmed some indicators of promise this 12 months. They is perhaps frisky within the NFC South.
24 – Atlanta Falcons – The Falcons made one of many dumbest trades of the offseason by sending a future first-round choose for James Pearce Jr. In consequence, they is perhaps sending a high 10 choose to the Rams within the 2026 NFL Draft.
25 – Las Vegas Raiders – This staff most likely has a better ground than they’ve had for a bit. Pete Carroll brings credibility to the desk. For all his faults, Geno Smith is a authentic beginning caliber quarterback. There’s some competency right here however the ceiling is fairly restricted.
26 – New York Giants – Jaxson Dart is perhaps good. We most likely gained’t have to attend too lengthy to see him play because the Giants’ schedule is actually powerful early on (at WAS, at DAL, vs. KC, vs. LAC).
27 – New York Jets – I’ve some beachfront property in Kansas to promote in the event you’re of the idea that Justin Fields could be good.
28 – Jacksonville Jaguars – Travis Hunter may very well be fairly enjoyable. However what else makes you consider they’re going to be any good?
29 – Cleveland Browns – Kevin Stefanski appears to be a great coach. This staff got here to Philly fairly motivated for joint coaching camp practices towards the Eagles. They’re going to lose a number of video games however they’re not merely going to roll over. And that’s greater than you’ll be able to say for the very worst of the worst.
30 – Indianapolis Colts – I imply, they’re beginning Daniel Jones.
31 – Tennessee Titans – to see if Cam Ward is any good. They may very well be lots higher lots ahead of anticipated if he’s, as we noticed with Washington final 12 months. (Not saying Ward is certainly Daniels.)
32 – New Orleans Saints – Tough outlook right here for former Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Simply not a lot hope at quarterback.
