The 2025 NFL season is all about parity. Except in one division.
It's the middle of the NFL season.
It's the middle of the NFL season. Do you know who your Super Bowl contenders are?
Good luck determining that.
For the first time since 2010, every team has at least two losses through Week 9, according to research by NBC Sports. Further, of the league's eight divisions, six have a team in first place either outright, or tied for first, that didn't win it last year. One site that calculates playoff probabilities has pegged 10 teams with at least a 10% chance of making the Feb. 8 Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California.
Everything feels wide open — with the exception of one division. And given the history of the NFC East, that's a surprise.
The NFC East hasn't had a repeat division winner since 2003-04, making it an outlier in a league where division titles infrequently change hands. Last season's champions of the AFC East, West, South and North and the NFC South and North all were repeat winners. And the only exception, the NFC West, last saw a repeat winner in 2022-23.
