NFL in April, 2025

In the last week or so, we had the announcement of the 2025 NFL schedule. Now that we know who will play whom and when, we can start predicting wins and losses.

I keep my predictions over at Some Fun Site. View results of previous football seasons.

2024 Summary

Last year, I predicted that

  • Denver Broncos = 5-12
  • Detroit Lions = 13-4
  • New York Jets = 6-11

How they actually did was

  • Denver Broncos = 10-7
  • Detroit Lions = 15-2
  • New York Jets = 5-12

Not bad on the Lions and Jets. Broncos was a ways off though.

How about the methods overall?

I’m glad you asked, although you may be regretting it soon.

This is not like other years’ results. Oh well, next year I’ll decide if this was an anomaly or the start of a new trend.

Now that the 2025 schedule is out, I have setup the 2025 NFL predictions. Here is my summary of the results:

2025 Summary

Consensus (3 or more methods in agreement):

  • Los Angeles Chargers = 14-3

I hope for their sake that’s close, but I’m not going to hold my breath on that one.

I still don’t like the 17-game season, but I don’t think I’m going to be able to change the NFL’s mind on that. I’m also not a fan of the international games, but my local team never seems to get those scheduled, so no matter.

Enjoy the predictions, but there are caveats: if any major player gets injured, that team’s projected results are void. Also, if any roster has changed from last year, that team’s projected results are void. Same thing with new coaches.

Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah
