Scouting Sundays: Smallball’s 2025 NFL Preview 🏈🔭☀️
Smallball started during the NBA playoffs earlier this year. Since then, we’ve talked about a lot of different sports.
But I’ll be honest: I’ve been thinking about football this whole time. 😁
And now? It’s almost here!
College football kicks off Saturday, August 23. The NFL isn’t far behind: Week 1 starts Thursday, September 4.
Training camps are underway, scrimmages are starting, and NFL preseason games are just around the corner.
So we thought: let’s get ready, Smallball-style. We’re counting down the top 10 NFL teams heading into the 2025 season, starting with the team the experts say is the 10th best in the league. Then #9. Then #8. All the way to #1.
Wait… who are these experts? We’re using something called ESPN’s Football Power Index. It’s kind of like a super-smart video game that plays 10,000 pretend games to figure out who’s most likely to be the best team.
Sound good?

Scouting Sundays #10: The Los Angeles Rams 🐏
Last year, the Rams had a rough start to the season. But they bounced back and won their division.
This year, they have renewed confidence and a team that mixes past champions with exciting young talent.
Scouting Sundays #9: The Los Angeles Chargers ⚡
The Chargers had the coolest video of the summer: an epic Minecraft version of their 2025 schedule.
Scouting Sundays #8: The Green Bay Packers 🧀
The Packers had a strong season last year with an 11–6 record under coach Matt LaFleur. But a short playoff run left fans craving more.
Scouting Sundays #7: The Cincinnati Bengals 🐅
Joe Burrow is the Bengals’ star quarterback. He missed part of last season with an injury, and the team didn’t make the playoffs.
Scouting Sundays #6: The Washington Commanders 🫡🪖
The Commanders hit the jackpot with quarterback Jayden Daniels in 2024.
Scouting Sundays #5: The Detroit Lions 🦁
The Lions roared to a 15–2 record last year (their best ever!), dominating the NFC North and looking like Super Bowl favorites.
Scouting Sundays #4: The Buffalo Bills 🐃💵
The Bills won 13 games, dominated the AFC East, and reached the AFC Championship last year.
Scouting Sundays #3: The Baltimore Ravens 🪶
An AFC team that dominates the regular season. A quarterback who’s won MVP (twice). All that’s missing? A Super Bowl win.
Scouting Sundays #2: The Kansas City Chiefs 🏟️
In 2024, the Chiefs tried to do something no NFL team has ever done: win three Super Bowls in a row.
Scouting Sundays #1: The Philadelphia Eagles 🦅
The Eagles aren’t just flying high… they’re carrying the Lombardi Trophy. Last year, the Eagles went 14–3 and crushed the Chiefs 40–22 in the Super Bowl.
