With the recent release of the NFL schedule, we examined every slate to see which teams were best positioned to possibly go unbeaten and predict who will be the last unbeaten in 2025.

The pick here is for the Cleveland Browns, the kings of false hope, to edge out one of the NFL’s most notorious slow starters, the Cincinnati Bengals (the Bengals will bounce back, of course,
