With Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season is in the books, it’s time for an incredibly meaningful and serious exercise: NFL Power Rankings! What differentiates these rankings from all the others is that they’re
THE only truly accurate ones in the entire universe. Hard to believe, I know. Let’s take a look at how all 32 teams stack up.
BLG’S NFL WEEK 12 POWER RANKINGS
1 – Los Angeles Rams (Last Week: 1) – Weekly Matthew Stafford update: he’s up to 22 touchdown passes and zero interceptions over his last seven starts. The Rams look like the most complete team in the league; they haven’t had a single flat out bad game this season.
2 – Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 3) – The bad news is that the Eagles have only scored 26 points in two games since the bye. The good news is that the Eagles have only allowed 16 points since the bye. Vic Fangio’s defense might be able to carry the Birds to another Super Bowl win, especially if Philly is able to get the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
3 – Seattle Seahawks (LW: 2) – On one hand, Seahawks fans can’t feel good about Sam Darnold throwing four interceptions. On the other hand, the Seahawks still almost won despite him throwing four interceptions. If they end up as the No. 5 seed, they’re not going to be fun for the No. 4 seed to play.
4 – New England Patriots (LW: 6) – The Pats could be due for an upset if Joe Burrow is able to play? If not, feels like they should be able to roll against this Cincy defense. Drake Maye can really bolster his MVP case by boosting his stats in this situation.
5 – Indianapolis Colts (LW: 5) – The Colts return from their bye to host a very desperate Chiefs team. Good test for both sides given where they’re currently at. Indy might live to regret it if they’re not able to help bury KC.
6 – Denver Broncos (LW: 8) – Sean Payton has really turned the Broncos around. Impressive that they’re in position to dethrone the Chiefs in the AFC West.
7 – Detroit Lions (LW: 4) – If the season ended today, the Lions wouldn’t even make the playoffs. As evidenced in Philly, Jared Goff’s limitations can show up as a major problem. But this team still has a lot of talent and it’s easier to feel better about them than anyone else in the NFC North.
8 – Buffalo Bills (LW: 9) – The Bills are probably going to be the top wild card team in the AFC.
9 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 7) – The Bucs are 0-2 so far in their tough three-game stretch against the Patriots, Bills, and Rams. If they can’t beat LA, which certainly won’t be easy, it’ll be only be right to question them going against top teams since they also previously lost to the Eagles and Lions.
10 – Baltimore Ravens (LW: 12) – The Ravens have won four in a row to move one game behind the AFC North lead. Next up for Baltimore is a home game against the Jets, so, make that five wins in a row.
11 – Kansas City Chiefs (LW: 10) – With a loss to the Broncos, it looks like the Chiefs might not only not win the AFC West … but might not make the playoffs entirely. Still have to actually see them miss it to believe it, especially since they’re arguably better than their record says they are. But, hey, the one-score luck they got last year is evening out this season.
12 – Green Bay Packers (LW: 13) – The Packers failed to cover the spread in a road win over the Giants. They’re much better on paper than in reality.
13 – San Francisco 49ers (LW: 14) – Getting Brock Purdy back made a big difference for the 49ers in a win over a bad Cardinals team. San Fran currently sits as the No. 7 seed in the NFC playoff picture.
14 – Pittsburgh Steelers (LW: 15) – Is it possible that Mason Rudolph is a better option than Aaron Rodgers at this point?
15 – Chicago Bears (LW: 16) – The Bears are 7-3 … with a negative point differential. They rank 25th in DVOA. Fool’s gold.
16 – Houston Texans (LW: 17) – Ugly win against the NFL’s worst team with their backup quarterback starting. C.J. Stroud will miss a third straight game on Thursday night. If they can pull off an upset win over the Bills, that would be massive. Need to bank a win here before facing the Colts and Chiefs … in back-to-back road games.
17 – Jacksonville Jaguars (LW: 18) – Still not buying them but, hey, that was a really good blowout win at home. Jacksonville now holds valuable head-to-head tiebreakers over the Chiefs and Chargers in the AFC playoff picture.
18 – Los Angeles Chargers (LW: 11) – Blown out by the Jags? Impossible to take this team seriously.
19 – Carolina Panthers (LW: 19) – Bryce Young has had some really bad games this season. He’s also had a few really strong starts. The Panthers have been much more friskier than expected; they’re just one victory away from hitting the over on their projected 2025 win total at 6.5 games.
20 – Dallas Cowboys (LW: 21) – The Cowboys destroyed a very bad Raiders team. George Pickens has been an awesome addition for them … but will they be able to re-sign him? It’s going to cost a lot more than it would have if they extended him at the time of the trade.
21 – Minnesota Vikings (LW: 20) – J.J. McCarthy has thrown at least one interception in every start of his career thus far. If I’m the Vikings, I’m not merely assuming he’ll definitely get much better than he is right now.
22 – Miami Dolphins (LW: 23) – The Dolphins are not dead. They’re 4-7 after beating the Commanders and now they get a bye week before taking on the Saints and Jets. The path to reaching 6-7 (not the meme) is right there.
23 – Atlanta Falcons (LW: 22) – Did you know the Falcons haven’t had a winning season since they lost a playoff game to the Eagles in January 2018? They’re two more losses away from clinching another losing season in 2025.
24 – Arizona Cardinals (LW: 24) – The Cardinals have been outscored by 41 points combined over the last two weeks. Jonathan Gannon continues to be on the hot seat.
25 – Cincinnati Bengals (LW: 25) – Joe Burrow back? Maybe the Bengals aren’t totally dead in the AFC playoff picture? They’re 2-1 in division games with three left to play.
26 – New York Jets (LW: 26) – Justin Fields has been benched for Tyrod Taylor. Rearranging deck chairs on the Titantic.
27 – Cleveland Browns (LW: 27) – Shedeur Sanders went 4/16 for 47 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception in his NFL regular season debut. We’ll see if he’s any better after getting the starting reps in practice.
28 – New Orleans Saints (LW: 28) – The Saints are actually favored (albeit by less than the standard three points at home) against the Falcons. We’ll see if New Orleans can pick up a win coming out of their bye. Would be better for them to lose since they could really use the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
29 – Washington Commanders (LW: 29) – This very winnable game that ultimately resulted in a loss is probably the best in the bigger picture. At least, if the Commanders are smart enough to realize they should shut down Jayden Daniels … which it seems like they might not do when they return from their Week 12 bye.
30 – New York Giants (LW: 30) – Giants fans got to witness the highs and the lows of the Jameis Winston experience in a loss to the Packers. New York is likely to be officially eliminated from playoff contention in Week 12. And it’ll be their earliest elimination in nearly 50 years.
31 – Las Vegas Raiders (LW: 31) – There are so many players on the Raiders where I’m like “Who is that?” Bad roster, bad quarterback, bad fit with Pete Carroll being a win-now head coach. This team needs a serious reset in the offseason.
32 – Tennessee Titans (LW: 32) – After four straight games of losses by multiple possessions, the Titans have lost each of their last two games by just one score. Making progress?!
