StatLogic Sports NFL Power Ratings #1 - Preseason 2025

Updated: 4 days ago

Football has returned!


Here are our first StatLogic Sports National Football League Power Ratings for the upcoming 2025 season. Early in the season, before we have enough current data collected for straight numbers to be meaningful, these rankings are both information and numbers based.


We use all the information at our disposal, including the team’s performance last year, returning and lost players, coaching changes, recent injuries and more to create an initial ranking. From there we assign a rating to each team based on our preseason numerical data, sportsbook futures numbers, initial regular-season betting lines and market moves created by sharp betting action.


Win-loss projections are based on our numerical data combined with additional information, sportsbook and sharp-betting data and other factors factors such as home-field advantage, travel, rest, coaching advantages, etc.


The number associated with each team is our first power rating of the season, and there is a projected win-loss record in parentheses. Teams expected to earn playoff spots are in bold. 


The 49ers and Bills may be overvalued based on the weakness of their schedules. Buffalo grades out similarly even against tougher opponents, while San Francisco is likely to have an inflated record based on the quality of its schedule. With a healthy Matthew Stafford it is very likely that the Los Angeles Rams will finish above the 49ers in the power ratings despite possibly having a worse record.


Most preseason rankings rate the Texans ahead of Jacksonville, but we expect the Jaguars to more closely resemble the playoff team from two years ago than last year's group thanks to a new coaching staff, the emergence of second-year wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr., a healthy Trevor Lawrence, a deep backfield and the addition of Heisman Trophy-winning two-way threat Travis Hunter. In addition, Houston for some reason decided to blow up its already suspect offensive line by trading one of the best tackles in the game while adding some other pieces in hopes of better protecting quarterback C.J. Stroud. An interesting approach to say the least.

If Washington gets Terry McLaurin back in the fold, the Commanders likely would move up and push the Lions for the fifth spot, but the Packers are comparable to both of those teams and could make a move up this year if Jordan Love stays healthy and continues to mature. Green Bay needs a go-to receiver to emerge from its deep, but unremarkable group of wideouts and for Tucker Kraft and Josh Jacobs to stay healthy for the entire season to make a serious run at the NFC title.


Buffalo should roll through the weak AFC East without any issues this year, and the Ravens are the class of the AFC North since Cincinnati decided not to upgrade its defensive lineup and appears likely to be without All-Pro end Trey Hendrickson. It's hard to bet against Kansas City in the AFC West after years of dominance, but the Chiefs clearly regressed offensively last season despite their 15 wins and were exposed by the Eagles in the Super Bowl. Do Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have one more run in them? It's definitely possible, but both the Broncos with second-year QB Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton are charging hard along with Jim Harbaugh, Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers. That division race may turn out to be the best in the NFL this year, although the NFL North could be even more exciting if Minnesota quarterback JJ McCarthy and Chicago signal-caller Caleb Williams perform up to their potential.
