Rich Eisen· Oct 31, 2025

Rich Eisen previewed his top five remaining Week 9 games, calling the Lions the best team in football, suggesting the Seahawks could go to 6-2 by beating Washington, and urging Houston to beat Denver.

“Seahawks could go six and two, folks, and this would be a big conference win for them again.”

    Think this is wrong?

  • Lions to finish top 1 at his position, by an unstated measure

    “the team that he's going up against is, in my estimation, the best in football coming off a buy, getting healthier, and it's the Lions.”
