NFL Week 1 Power Rankings: Eagles get top spot to start, but Bills will finish No. 1 with long-awaited title

Pete Prisco shares his first Power Rankings of the 2025 NFL season

The first batch of NFL Power Rankings always come back to haunt me. It happens that way every year. The teams get placed into their spots from 1-32 before the season and then after Week 18 I look back and wonder how I could have been so wrong -- just like you.

Oh, well. That's what makes the league so fun -- the unpredictability of it all. 

The Philadelphia Eagles, who won the Super Bowl last February, open in the top spot of my Power Rankings this season, which is the way it always is for me. Champs earn the right to start at the top.
