NFL picks: Predicting every game, final 2025 record for each NFC team

by Ali Bhanpuri & Adam Rank

Copied!

The battle between humans and AI hasn’t quite reached T2 levels just yet, but it’s clear the computers are pulling ahead. Unwilling to sit on the sidelines while the algos become our overlords, we’ve decided to strap on our figurative helmets and get in on the action.

So below you’ll find two human takes on how the 2025 NFL regular season will unfold. We’ve each gone through the entire schedule, team by team, week by week, separately projecting who will win during opening weekend, on Thanksgiving Day, in each season finale and every game in between. You’ll find our conference seeding for the entire playoff field, including our individual picks for the eight division winners and six wild-card teams.

Sure, our two sets of season-long projections might not be rooted in advanced metrics, sophisticated models or fancy formulas, but we can tell you in no uncertain terms that we considered the important stuff … like revenge games, longstanding team stats involving players and coaches no longer with those clubs, and — most importantly — gut instincts.

Can’t wait to hear the positive feedback. Try not to reach out all at once.
