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.

Think stars and stories to watch for that’ll have you explaining things to your grown-ups when the games get going.

If you miss a day? Don’t worry. We’ll keep track of every team right here so you can catch up anytime.

Got a question or want to make sure we cover your favorite team? Drop it in the comments.

And if there’s a major sports story you should know? Like the kind we usually cover in our daily three things? Don’t worry, we’ll weave it in along the way.

Sound good?
