Following a thrilling opening week, the Los Angeles Rams are sitting pretty atop the NFC West standings. L.A. has a chance to move to 2-0 for the first time since 2021. With the Rams looking like a sneaky conference contender as expected entering the season, it’s time to see how my other preseason hot takes are going so far.
So far, my prediction on the Dolphins falling apart is looking quite prophetic. Miami stunk it up on all phases against the Colts in a punchless 33-8 loss. Mike McDaniel is way
in over his head, Tyreek Hill clearly doesn’t want to be there and the Tua Tagovailoa contract is appearing like the NFL’s worst value with each passing week.

I don’t see the Dolphins being so bad that they finish with the top overall pick, but picking in the top 10 of next year’s draft is almost a certainty at this point.
I’m not feeling super great about my Chargers and Lions predictions … yet. The other Los Angeles team played extremely well in Week 1 by beating the Chiefs at their own game. If Justin Herbert’s game is pushed to another level, the Chargers will make some noise in the playoffs, or at the very least, win a game.
Detroit was horrific on offense at Lambeau Field. Personally, I want to give the Lions more time as they’re adjusting to seeing both top coordinators take head coaching gigs. There’s too much talent on that roster to fall apart completely.
How are your NFL hot takes looking so far as we enter Week 2 of the 2025 campaign? Let us know in the comments, and happy Friday, Turf Show Ramily!
