2025 NFL Power Rankings: What's Real From Week 1?

Weird things happen in Week 1. They always do.

Sometimes it happens to a team, like in 2003 when the Patriots lost 31-0 to the Bills on Opening Day, then finished the season 14-2 and won a Super Bowl anyway. Sometimes it happens to an individual, like when Browning Nagle threw for 366 yards in the Jets' 1992 season opener, only to not throw for more than 200 in any game the rest of the season. (That was Nagle's first career start, by the way, and also the last time he topped 200 yards.)

Yeah, those are old examples. And they’re extreme. But you get the point. Week 1 can bring a lot of fool's gold. It can also push fan bases to the edge of a cliff. The key is to step back and look at the big picture. Don’t ride the emotional waves of the moment. Because not everything is at it seems from opening weekend.

With that, here are my latest NFL Power Rankings.

Super Bowl odds: +750

I know they didn’t look great against the Cowboys. It was a weird game, losing DT Jalen Carter early and then the weather delay. I’m willing to give them a pass for one week only. They’re still the same team they were a week ago. And to be the man, you’ve got to beat the man. So for now, the top spot still belongs to them.

Super Bowl odds: +500

The championship window won’t be open forever for the Bills, and Josh Allen showed Sunday night he won’t let it slam shut. That wild comeback against the Ravens saved them from a depressing opening and might have established them as the team to beat in the AFC.
