NFL Season Predictions 2025

Above all else, parity makes the NFL one of the best sports leagues in the world. Every year, at least one team goes from worst to first in its division, exceeding expectations and pushing its way into the postseason.

With that parity comes surprising twists and turns throughout the campaign, making the art of predicting which teams and players will succeed on any given Sunday, let alone in a given season, all the more difficult.

Below, our experts provide their predictions for the upcoming 2024 NFL season.

NFL Season Predictions 2025

There is no shortage of intrigue for the 2025 NFL season. Our predictions have only two new division winners, with the San Francisco 49ers bouncing back to retake the NFC West and the Atlanta Falcons emerging to supplant the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South.

We’ve got Mike Vrabel winning Coach of the Year in his return to the NFL scene with the New England Patriots, who look poised to surprise the league with a postseason berth this year. On the player side of awards, Ashton Jeanty is set up nicely to put up tremendous numbers as the Las Vegas Raiders’ bellcow.

But what about Super Bowl, NFL MVP, and other prominent awards? Read below for our NFL best bets on those markets.

Super Bowl 60 Winner Best Bet

Super Bowl 60 Winner: Baltimore Ravens (+600)

DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 unit

It’s the Ravens’ year, folks. This is the perfect setup for a Super Bowl title.

You have continuity at coaching, with John Harbaugh leading the way. Todd Monken has put together a terrific offensive scheme that is getting the most out of Lamar Jackson.

The defense came on strong in the second half, and is now bolstered by Jaire Alexander along with rookies Malaki Starks and Mike Green.

Simply put, there are no holes on this roster. Look for the Ravens to finally get it done for Lamar’s first ring.

Currently near the top in Super Bowl odds, the Ravens are still at a reasonable price to take home the hardware.

NFL Conference Winner Best Bet 2025

NFC Winner: Detroit Lions (+650)

DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 unit

While some are concerned that the Lions will fall off now that they lost their two stud coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, I’m not buying it.

This roster is too stacked to fall off this year. Plus, Dan Campbell remains one of the best head coaches in the NFL.

The Lions are out for blood this season.

This is a team that was robbed of a Super Bowl run due to injuries. Their defense was absolutely dismantled, highlighted by the loss of stud edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson.

Now healthy, expect this group to perform at a much higher level this time around, resulting in a Super Bowl berth.

NFL Division Winner Best Bet 2025

NFC South Winner: Atlanta Falcons (+220)

DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 unit

The NFC South is ripe for the taking because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are dealing with a key injury to All-Pro offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs.

The Atlanta Falcons did a great job addressing their pass-rushing needs in the draft, spending premium capital on Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr.

Michael Penix Jr. is a huge upgrade at quarterback over Kirk Cousins, who played injured last season.

Expect Drake London to take a big leap at receiver, with the Falcons taking over this division in the process.

NFL Award Best Bet 2025

NFL MVP Winner: Patrick Mahomes, QB, Kansas City Chiefs (+700)

DraftKings Sportsbook • WAGER: 1 unit

All offseason, the Chiefs have prioritized how they’re going to get back to generating explosive passing plays.

I’m betting that this will happen, resulting in a return to a highly productive season for Patrick Mahomes.

With NFL MVP odds at a reasonable price of +700, Mahomes looks like a solid wager.

Bet on the best quarterback in the NFL to carry the Chiefs to yet another AFC West division title.
