The 2025 NFL season has officially hit its turning point — and the Week 7 Power Rankings are here to shake things up. For the first time in weeks, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have climbed to the top spot, knocking off both the Lions and Eagles in a week full of statement wins and surprising upsets.

The Philadelphia Eagles had owned the No. 1 ranking through the early part of the season, but their recent struggles have opened the door for new contenders. Truthfully, no team looks like a runaway favorite right now — it’s wide open across the top ten, and any one of them could be the team to beat come January.
Let’s dive into this week’s updated NFL Power Rankings for Week 7, with Super Bowl LX odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.
🏆 1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Previous: 3)
Super Bowl Odds: +1600
The Buccaneers are back on top after a convincing win over the 49ers — their first real statement victory of the season. Baker Mayfield continues to silence critics, putting himself squarely in the 2025 NFL MVP race. With key players banged up, Tampa’s depth and grit are being tested — and they’re passing with flying colors.
🦁 2. Detroit Lions (Previous: 1)
Super Bowl Odds: +800
The Lions remain one of the most complete teams in the league, but defensive issues in the secondary have been their Achilles’ heel. A tough loss to the Chiefs drops them a spot, but Detroit still looks like a legit contender to win the NFC North — and maybe more.
🐏 3. Los Angeles Rams (Previous: 6)
Super Bowl Odds: +1400
The Rams didn’t light up the stat sheet against Baltimore, but their defense came through in clutch moments, forcing three turnovers. That kind of resilience is why they’re climbing fast in the rankings — and why they’re starting to look like a serious postseason threat.
🧀 4. Green Bay Packers (Previous: 7)
Super Bowl Odds: +800
Don’t be fooled by the close score — Green Bay handled Cincinnati with relative ease. This team just wins quietly and consistently. If they keep it up, the Packers could be a dark-horse Super Bowl LX pick.
🦬 5. Buffalo Bills (Previous: 4)
Super Bowl Odds: +550
Two straight losses to weaker opponents have Bills fans nervous. The real issue? That shaky run defense. If Buffalo can’t stop the ground game, their Super Bowl window might be closing faster than expected.
🦅 6. Philadelphia Eagles (Previous: 2)
Super Bowl Odds: +1200
The Eagles’ loss to the Giants was ugly — and not just because of the scoreboard. Jalen Hurts struggled with accuracy, Saquon Barkley couldn’t find holes, and the defense looked lost. Philly has to regroup quickly to avoid reliving their late-2023 collapse.
🐴 7. Indianapolis Colts (Previous: 8)
Super Bowl Odds: +1500
Credit to Daniel Jones, who led two clutch drives in the fourth quarter to get the win. The Colts are quietly piecing together one of the AFC’s best records — and they’re starting to look like more than a feel-good story.
🏈 8. San Francisco 49ers (Previous: 5)
Super Bowl Odds: +2500
Injuries continue to haunt San Francisco. Mac Jones put up 347 passing yards, but his two interceptions sealed their fate against Tampa. The 49ers are still talented, but health remains their biggest opponent.
🖤 9. Pittsburgh Steelers (New Entry)
Super Bowl Odds: +2800
Aaron Rodgers might not be MVP-level anymore, but he’s doing enough to keep the Steelers in first place. His veteran savvy — and a gritty defense — make Pittsburgh a dangerous team in close games.
👑 10. Kansas City Chiefs (Previous: 11)
Super Bowl Odds: +700
Never count out Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs are finally getting healthy, their offense is heating up, and their trademark swagger is returning. Expect a strong second-half surge.
