Rich Eisen · Oct 8, 2025

Eisen delivered his Week 6 power rankings presented by Sonos, with the Lions first, the Eagles second and three new entries (Rams, 49ers, Broncos), plus side calls that the Rams will win in Baltimore, the Broncos are now the AFC West favorite, the Eagles will handle their next stretch of games, and Emeka Abuka is the clear Offensive Rookie of the Year front-runner.

My new number one team atop the power rankings through five weeks are the Detroit lions.

Number six... the packers... the Indianapolis Colts are are sitting there at five... Moving up one spot are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers... I'm keeping the Bills at three.

  • Philadelphia Eagles to win

    The Philadelphia Eagles in between that go and visit Minnesota, which looks like they're gonna start maybe Carson Wentz in that game. They should take care of business over the next three weeks

    Think this is wrong?

  • Denver Broncos to win the division

    based on the fact that the Chiefs are two and three and the fact that the Raiders are one and four, this is now your new entering week six favorite to win the division

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Philadelphia Eagles to win

    They play the Giants twice in the next three weeks. They should have some good eats there... They should take care of business over the next three weeks

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.
