Rich Eisen · Sep 19, 2025

Eisen picked the Bills to finish with the NFL's best record, said the Dolphins look like a top-five draft pick team, chose the Chiefs over the Colts to make the playoffs despite their 0-2 start, and made week-three picks: Bengals to go 3-0, the Jets to win at Tampa, and he leaned Steelers over the Patriots.

I think the Bills have an opportunity to have the best record in the NFL this year.

    Oh, and two team more likely to score an upset road win, Saints or Jets? I'll take the Jets... And they could go down to Tampa and go get, you know, their their old coach... But I'll I'll go Jets.

  • Buffalo Bills to take the top seed

    I'll go Bills finish with the NFL's best record because I pointed out in our number one... I think the Bills have an opportunity to have the best record in the NFL this year.

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