2025 Week Two Political Rankings

NFC:

1) Green Bay

I do believe, end of the day, that Herr Trump is going to have a voice, if not the final word, as to who wins the Super Bowl this year.  About the only reason, after the first two weeks, I am not even more sure on Green Bay (for the same reason I have NOT believed the Packers a relevant player in the past -- the rural nature of the fanbase) is the Black quarterback.  I do believe a movement toward the White Right is a major player in all of this, and Jordan Love would be, frankly, a bit inconvenient.

I don't really have a #2 in the NFC at this point, but it's not because I think Green Bay is THAT FAR ahead of the matter.

Philadelphia is having major discipline problems this year, already fined over $300,000 for on-field offenses in the first two weeks, the team having to pay all fines backward and forward under the policy.

Tampa Bay would work with Baker Mayfield, but would the league want to go there?  I could see it, but the NFC South is so weak, who knows how good they could actually pass off Tampa Bay to be?

San Francisco?  Nuff said.

Los Angeles?  Nuff said.

Arizona has the same problems they always have -- a fairly complete lack of a fanbase to market as Super Bowl champs.

Could easily see the NFC West getting the same rub the NFC North had last year, and the same result...  3 teams that high up, no playoff wins.

AFC:

1) Buffalo (already 3-0, so they'll have this spot for Week 3 as well)

They have the one thing Green Bay doesn't, a White quarterback.  Hence, my current Super Bowl favorite.

Only the Bengals, Colts, and Chargers are 2-0.  The Chargers are LA and have no fans, so they're down.  Could easily see the Bengals and Colts getting a bit of a shove for the same reason I kinda like Green Bay and Buffalo right now.  So maybe the Bengals and Colts a 2 and a 2A at this point.

On the other side of the equation, some 0-2's to discuss:

Kansas City is really at the top of this list, and, though it is the Chargers and Philly (two teams which might have some relish this year), I think a large part of it is, in fact, the league knows it got caught and can't push Kansas City, even if it would otherwise want to.

I think the only other one to discuss is 0-3 Miami.  The Tua situation is over, people.  Retire him before he gets hurt.
