2025 NFL Season Predictions: Division Winners, MVP Picks, Coach Firings, and Bold Forecasts

The 2025 NFL season is almost here, and Missing the Point is back with one of our most anticipated episodes of the year: our full-season NFL prediction special. Hosts Mike Marcangelo, Dave Clarke, Robert Kelly, and Rayshawn Buchanan take you division by division, team by team, and award by award—breaking down exactly how we see the 2025 season playing out from Week 1 to the playoffs.

We start with NFC and AFC win-loss projections, debating everything from the Dallas Cowboys' shocking decision to trade Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, to whether Lamar Jackson is primed for an MVP season, and how  Caleb Williams will fare under pressure in Chicago.

This isn’t just hot takes for clicks—every prediction is backed by roster analysis, coaching matchups, schedule strength, and the chaos only the NFL can deliver.

This episode covers:

• Full 2025 NFL win-loss predictions for every team in all eight divisions

• The new “steal system” that lets us compete with the so-called NFL experts

• A deep dive into the Micah Parsons trade fallout and Jerry Jones' legacy

• Why Lamar Jackson is our consensus MVP pick

• T.J. Watt, Saquon Barkley, and Trey Henderson headline our award ballots

• Why we expect Kevin Stefanski to be the first coach fired

• Coaching redemption for Matt LaFleur in Green Bay

• A debate over the most overrated and underrated teams in 2025

Whether you're prepping for your fantasy draft, laying down your futures bets, or just want the smartest NFL takes heading into the 2025 season, this is the episode you don't want to miss.
