No team has earned a spot in the NFL playoffs yet, but the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams have a chance to clinch postseason berths in Week 15.
The Broncos and Patriots are tied atop the AFC. While the Jacksonville Jaguars and Steelers are clinging to their division leads.
The Los Angeles Rams are currently on top of a tight race in the NFC. While the Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hanging on to division leads.
There are four weeks remaining on the NFL’s 2025 regular-season calendar and plenty left to settle. Here’s an early look at some predictions and picks to win the AFC, NFC and which team will be the Super Bowl 60 champion.
AFC standings ahead of Week 15
- Denver Broncos (11-2)
- New England Patriots (11-2)
- Jacksonville Jaguars (9-4)
- Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6)
- Los Angeles Chargers (9-4)
- Buffalo Bills (9-4)
- Houston Texans (8-5)
AFC Championship prediction: Bills survive against Patriots
Bills quarterback Josh Allen has 3,083 passing yards, 22 touchdown passes and 12 rushing touchdowns this season. He’s the first player in NFL history with at least 3,000 passing yards, 20 touchdown passes and 10 rushing touchdowns in three consecutive seasons (2023-25) and three career seasons. The Bills are too reliant on Allen, but I predict he’ll have plenty of assistance against the Patriots in an all-AFC East championship game.
Running back James Cook produces over 130 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. Buffalo’s defense gets just enough stops as the Bills upset the Patriots in Foxborough.
It’ll mark Buffalo’s first Super Bowl appearance since the 1993 season.
NFC standings ahead of Week 15
- Los Angeles Rams (10-3)
- Green Bay Packers (9-3-1)
- Philadelphia Eagles (8-5)
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-6)
- Seattle Seahawks (10-3)
- San Francisco 49ers (9-4)
- Chicago Bears (9-4)
NFC Championship prediction: Eagles hang on against Rams (again)
Yes, I realize the Eagles have lost three straight games. Maybe it’s blind faith, but I believe the Eagles finally find their groove during win-or-go-home situations in the postseason.
Philadelphia’s offense has failed to establish an identity and struggled with consistency all season. But I predict they return to form with running back Saquon Barkley leading the way.
Barkley ran all over the Rams in two meetings last season, but he was limited to 55 yards from scrimmage in a Week 3 win over Los Angeles.
The Eagles have won four straight games, including the playoffs, against the Rams dating back to 2023. The Rams’ explosive offense will keep this game close, but Philly’s overall talent on both sides of the ball prevails.
Super Bowl 60 prediction
Losers of four Super Bowls in a row in the early 90s, the Bills have a painful Super Bowl history. Unfortunately for Buffalo, Feb. 8 will add to the franchise’s Super Bowl misery.
The Eagles have back-to-back standout performances to complete their title defense and win their second-straight Super Bowl.
Philadelphia’s opportunistic defense forces two takeaways and the team scores 14 points off the turnovers.
Jalen Carter helps slow down Josh Allen, James Cook and the Bills offense. A.J. Brown produces more than 100 receiving yards and a touchdown, while Saquon Barkley compiles 100 yards on the ground against a leaky Buffalo defense.
All the drama surrounding the Eagles during the regular season becomes a thing of the past that galvanized the team to another Lombardi Trophy.
