With the NFL about to kick off the regular season, let’s take a look at every NFL team from 1 to 32 and dive into just how these teams are looking heading into week one of the NFL season.

1. Philadelphia Eagles

Do I think the Philadelphia Eagles are winning the Super Bowl again this year? No, I do not, but when you are coming off a championship and have just as strong a team as you did the year before. The spot is yours.

2. Kansas City Chiefs

Is Patrick Mahomes still on this roster and breathing? If the answer is yes, you don’t have them any lower than this.

3. Buffalo Bills

Everyone is counting out the Bills this year. You hear about the Eagles, you hear about the Chiefs, you hear about the Ravens. I have a feeling things might just come up Buffalo in February.

4. Baltimore Ravens

This team is awesome. But I will not trust the pairing of John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson moving forward. They’ll have to actually win it all before I can believe in them in the postseason again.

5. San Francisco 49ers

I think this is the year Brock Purdy really starts silencing the haters. If you gamble, Purdy MVP tickets might not be a bad long shot.

6. Green Bay Packers

Micah Parsons? Are you freaking kidding me?

7. Los Angeles Chargers

Jim Harbaugh really changed the vibe of this team in year one. I think they could really start putting things together this season. I will never count out Justin Herbert.

8. Houston Texans

The Texans have problems, and their division is improved. But once you get out of the top five, every team has warts.

9. Detroit Lions

This is an excellent roster, but I just don’t know if this team can overcome losing 8 coaches off arguably what was the best coaching staff in the league.

10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield has had a rebirth here. It’s curious if league circles start pushing him towards a legitimate top ten quarterback in the league.

11. Washington Commanders

I think the Commanders show some regression this year, but Jayden Daniels is legit, and they’ll be in the mix all season long.

12. Pittsburgh Steelers

I think Aaron Rodgers goes out on a much better note than the bitter 2024 season in New York. I think the Steelers have a winning record, make the playoffs, and lose in the first round. Also known as the Mike Tomlin way.

13. Denver Broncos

I know the league is high on this team, but I just don’t see it with Bo Nix. I don’t see a developmental guy who is going to be Sean Payton’s Drew Brees. I see a guy that Payton already squeezed out what he can, and we are already near his ceiling.

14. Chicago Bears

Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams will be a...
