Rich Eisen · Oct 27, 2025

Eisen agreed the Ravens will win the AFC North, said Jonathan Taylor is running away with Offensive Player of the Year, projected the Patriots as a 10-11 win team, endorsed the same seven-team NFC playoff field with Tampa and Indianapolis winning their divisions, and picked the Vikings (with Atlanta as another possibility) as the team most likely to crash the NFC field.

“But right now, it sure looks like the Eagles gonna be the only NFC East team, and you're gonna get three out of the West, Seattle, Rams, and the Niners.”
