Now that Week 3 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.
WEEK 4 NFL POWER RANKINGS
1 – Philadelphia Eagles (Last Week: 1) – The Eagles are 19-1 in their last 20 games. Jalen Hurts is 17-0 in his last 17 games started and finished. It hasn’t always been pretty but this team simply does not lose. They have become NFL Thanos: inevitable.
2 – Buffalo Bills (LW: 2) – The Bills have three times as many wins as the rest of the AFC East combined. They’re in very strong position to run away with their division, as expected.
3 – Detroit Lions (LW: 8) – That was a big boy win for the Lions in Baltimore on Monday night. They straight up bullied the Ravens in their own stadium. Detroit has rebounded in a major way after their Week 1 loss to Green Bay. They’re still very strong in the trenches and Dan Campbell’s aggression can really pay off.
4 – Baltimore Ravens (LW: 3) – With a road game in Kansas City up next, the Ravens are in jeopardy of dropping to 1-3. But even if they do lose that one, they’re probably going to rebound. And it’s not like there’s another major threat in their division.
5 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 5) – The Bucs are 3-0 by the skin of their teeth thanks to Baker Mayfield coming up in the clutch. Tampa has some reinforcements on the way but they also continue to deal with significant injury issues.
6 – Los Angeles Chargers (LW: 7) – The Bolts have the most desirable 3-0 start in the NFL with three straight wins over division rivals. They could win the AFC West for the first time as the Los Angeles Chargers since their inaugural season in 1960. The last time the San Diego Chargers won their division was 2009.
7 – Green Bay Packers (LW: 4) – Jordan Love might be the undoing of a Packers team that’s dominant on defense; Green Bay has allowed the fewest points in the NFL this season (44 in three games).
8 – Los Angeles Rams (LW: 7) – The Rams nearly had the Eagles beat … until they didn’t. Sean McVay’s cowardice is costly.
9 – Kansas City Chiefs (LW: 9) – The Chiefs managed to avoid an 0-3 start but they’re in danger of dropping to 1-3 with a home game against the Ravens up next. They also play the Lions and Bills within their next six games. Their schedule lightens up down the stretch but they need to weather this gauntlet in front of them.
10 – San Francisco 49ers (LW: 10) – Nick Bosa’s season-ending injury is just the latest in bad news for the Niners. Despite their bad luck, they’re 3-0. And their schedule is super easy. So, they might just be fine.
11 – Washington Commanders (LW: 11) – So far, the 2025 Commanders are reminiscent of the 2024 Commanders. They can beat up on inferior teams but they can’t hang with the big boys.
12 – Indianapolis Colts (LW: 13) – The Colts own the NFL’s best point differential through three games. Shane Steichen’s offense is cooking. Will be very interesting to see how they fare in a road game against the Rams this weekend.
13 – Seattle Seahawks (LW: 16) – The Seahawks followed up a near-win against the 49ers in Week 1 with blowout victories against the Steelers and Saints. Don’t sleep on Seattle.
14 – Minnesota Vikings (LW: 21) – Perhaps the Eagles should’ve kept Isaiah Rodgers, who won NFC Defensive Player of the Week after a game where he scored two defensive touchdowns. The Vikings are well-served by the strength of their coaching staff and roster but QB being unsolved remains a big-picture concern.
15 – Arizona Cardinals (LW: 15) – If the Cards aren’t able to beat a banged up 49ers team, why should anyone take them seriously? Mid.
16 – Pittsburgh Steelers (LW: 19) – Probably going to be a season of ups and downs for Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers. Which will lead to Pittsburgh finishing 9-8.
17 – Dallas Cowboys (LW: 14) – Woof. The Cowboys’ defense is so bad that it made Caleb Williams look good. Adding injury to insult, Dallas will now be without CeeDee Lamb and Tyler Booker for multiple weeks. Jerry Jones is staring 1-3 in the face with Micah Parsons coming back to AT&T Stadium on Sunday night.
18 – Cincinnati Bengals (LW: 12) – The Bengals had serious flaws even when Joe Burrow was healthy. Hard to feel like they’re going to able to stay afloat until he can return if Week 3 was any indication of what they’re going to look like without him.
19 – Denver Broncos (LW: 18) – Bo Nix ain’t scaring nobody.
20 – Atlanta Falcons (LW: 17) – Michael Penix ain’t scaring nobody.
21 – Jacksonville Jaguars (LW: 23) – The Jags have taken advantage of a very easy schedule to start 2-1.
22 – Chicago Bears (LW: 26) – Not sure if one good game against a terrible Dallas defense means the Bears are back but they needed to stop the bleeding and they did for at least one week. With a game against the Raiders up next, they should be able to build on last week’s performance. But will they?
23 – Houston Texans (LW: 20) – The bad news is they’re 0-3. The good news is two of those losses have come to NFC teams, so, that’s not super damaging. But a loss to the Jags hurts. Maybe moving on from C.J. Gardner-Johnson will help to turn the vibes around.
24 – Las Vegas Raiders (LW: 22) – In fairness to the Raiders, they were in a really tough spot last week coming off a Monday night game to play cross country on the road against a team coming off a Thursday night game. That excuse holds more water if they’re able to rebound against the Bears.
25 – New England Patriots (LW: 24) – The Pats are still in a rebuilding phase, not a competing phase.
26 – Cleveland Browns (LW: 26) – Been saying that the Browns are going to be much better against the spread than they are straight up this year. So far, they’re 2-1 in that regard. They fight.
27 – Carolina Panthers (LW: 30) – Shocking to see the Panthers win 30-0 after struggling the first two weeks. Not really sure what to make of that. Considering they’re 5.5-point road dogs to the Pats this weekend, it looks like this success may have just been a blip on the radar.
28 – New York Jets (LW: 25) – Which 0-3 team will avoid dropping to 0-4? The Dolphins host the Jets on Monday Night Football.
29 – Miami Dolphins (LW: 31) – Which 0-3 team will avoid dropping to 0-4? The Dolphins host the Jets on Monday Night Football.
30 – New York Giants (LW: 29) – To their credit, the Giants smartened up and decided to stop wasting time by playing Russell Wilson. They now have something to hang their hat on in terms of rooting for Jaxson Dart’s development. But the 0-3 hole this season is tough for their 2025 outlook. Could very well drop to 0-4 with the Bolts up next.
31 – Tennessee Titans (LW: 28) – The Titans and Saints are tied for the NFL’s worst point differential through three games. Brian Callahan might not survive this season.
32 – New Orleans Saints (LW: 32) – It was always to be a rough go for these Saints, who have the league’s least inspiring quarterback situation in terms of both short-term and long-term options. New Orleans enters Week 4 as 15.5-point road underdogs. It could be some time before Kellen Moore gets his first win as an NFL head coach.
