Rich Eisen · Nov 19, 2025
Eisen delivered his week 12 power rankings, with the Rams first and the Lions tenth, dropping the Chiefs and Chargers off the list. He also predicted the Ravens would win their next several games (an eight-game win streak before facing the Patriots), and picked winners in several hypothetical matchups plus the Bills-Texans game.
“I still think the Rams are the best team in football.”
