2025 NFL schedule preview: Ranking the 10 biggest games of the season

The NFL 2025 calendar will be presented on Wednesday in a show during stellar schedule, but we already know the opponents for the 32 teams. That means we can see the season ahead and identify the biggest games and high interest stories, basically all the “when” aspect of each confrontation.

The NFL programming model is designed to face the best teams in the League against the other. Each winner of the defensive division plays five of the other seven winners of the division every year, which establishes previous views and revenge of playoffs, etc.

Then, of the 13 NFL playoff games last year, 10 of them will have rematch in the regular season 2025. Two of them are divisional-risual rivalries and eagles commanders, so they play with each other twice. The Chiefs, trying to reach a sixth Super Bowl in seven seasons, play seven of their nine games at home against 2024 playoff teams. The Eagles, Lions, Commanders, Ravens, Texans, Chargers and Broncos go to Kansas City this fall, and the Chiefs play in the Bills, so I could almost populate a list of the 10 best with Chiefs games.

But we mix it a little. Here is our early look of the largest games of the 2025 season.

If Aaron Rodgers signs with Pittsburgh, this becomes the best players game of the season, with Rodgers facing the Packers for the first time since he spent his first 18 seasons in Green Bay. If this game is in Lambeau Field, it will be out of the lists. But only in Pittsburgh, it would still be Rodgers vs. Jordan Love, Rodgers vs. Matt Lafleur … Rodgers vs. Green Bay! This is like Tom Brady in front of the Patriots in 2021, a bonanza of grades. It is likely that the league does not know if Rodgers is joining the steelers before the calendar is announced, so this is a flexible game for cousin time if there was one.

Houston won 10 games last year and defeated the in the playoffs, and the chargers won 11 with the number 1 defense of the league. CJ Stoud or Justin Herbert will be good enough to repeat the team’s success? The Chargers and the Texans had no additions of splashes in the free agency or the draft, so they do not necessarily see them as teams of the 10 best NFL teams at this time, but it could be the culture as culture cements and demolished Yarrd Yoart

The lions were 15-2 in the regular season and led the league in annotations. They were then eliminated in the divisional round when the commanders get used to Ford Field, forced five ball losses and finished the Detroit season with a 45-31 victory.

Challengers for Eagles champions.

We could have more Kansas City games on this list, but Patrick Mahomes vs. Lamar Jackson is a couple or twice MVPs that face face to face, so we will choose that about Mohamses vs. Jayden Daniels, what could also be an incredible game. Jackson is 1-5 of all time against the Chiefs, including a defeat by the playoffs in Baltimore after the 2023 season, and the defense of Kansas City Ha has the QB of the Ravens to six touchdowns pass in those six games. Sowing in AFC playoffs will be reduced to how good the chiefs can handle a schedule and games at ridiculously hard house and games like this.

Here are a couple of divisional games that could mean more in 2025 than in 2024, when Detroit Barió Chicago. The Bears now have the former offensive coordinator of Detroit, Ben Johnson, as their chief coach, so their first two games against Dan Campbell will establish the tone for the NFC North, with Minnesota and Green Bay having an opinion about that. How much of a step forward can the second year of Pro Caleb Williams take in a new offense of the Bears? Chicago was left behind 23-7 in a defeat against Detroit last year and lost the other 27-7, so Johnson’s offensive skill could help close that gap.

This is the best of the “new coach against the former team”, but you will also see the Patriots and Mike Vracabel go to the Titans and the Jaguars and Liam Coen present the Rams and their mentor Sean McVay. These may not be first level equipment, but they are rich frames without a meter.

We will put both NFC East games here as a single place in the ranking. This was the NFC championship game last year, when the Eagles put 55 points and finished a wild postseason race for Jayden Daniels and the commanders. Washington’s over -theater at the end of the season included a thriller of week 16 to overcome the Eagles in Landover, when Daniels launched the TouchDown pass with an advantage with six second seconds in the regulation. Philadelphia obtained huge Saquon Barkley games to win twice last season, and these two 2025 games will greatly contribute to which teams will organize playoff games against going to the road as a wild card.

If the chiefs take a step back in 2025 as some predict, this could be a preview of the AFC championship game. In the thriller of Division Ronda last year, Baltimore recovered for a touchdown with remaining 1:33, but lost a two -point conversion into a fall of the closed wing Mark Andrews. Este enfrentamiento presenta un enfrentamiento de los dos principales finalistas para el MVP del año pasado: Josh Allen de Buffalo obtuvo 27 votos en primer lugar a 22 para Lamar Jackson de Baltimore y ganó el honor AP, a pesar de que el mismo panel AP dando a Jackson el asentimiento para el primer Tor para For For For For For For For For For For For For For For For For For For For For For For For For. The winner of this game will be the best challenger to highlight the Chiefs and represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

Kansas City began last season 15-1, with the only defeat in Buffalo when Josh Allen rumbled for a 26-yard touchdown to build a two-point advantage in the final minute. These two teams again at the Arrowhead Stadium in the AFC championship game, with the Chiefs escaping 32-29 in a Harrison Butker field goal. If this game arrives early in the 2025 season, it would give Bills the opportunity to establish that the AFC conference is open. Buffalo has lost in the playoffs against Chiefs in four of the last five seasons.

These are the two best teams in the NFL power ranking after David Helman’s draft, with the Eagles in number 1 and the lions in number 2, so it could be seen as a preview of the NFC championship game. Portan “T played Sprot the 2022 starter, when Philadelphia Hero continued for a 38-35 victory as part of Detroit’s 1-6 opening Challenge that the same challenge is the Egles facing Egles, Egles, Shane, and Jonathen and Jonathen and Jonathen and Jonathen and Jonathen and Jonathen and Jonathen and Jonathen and Jonathen and Jonath.

It is a rematch not only of the Super Bowl 59 (won by the Eagles) but also of the Super Bowl 57 (catched by the chiefs). And it is the fifth consecutive year that the two teams will face, which is strange for the equipment at opposite conferences and requests that the Super Bowl get involved.

The series was divided in the last four years: each team won a Super Bowl and each team won on the road in the regular season. So this is game 5, he thought of theory that could establish another rematch of the Super Bowl, which would be the first to present to the same two teams for the third time in a period of four years.
