Eisen reaffirmed their preseason pick of Chiefs vs. Lions in Super Bowl LX and called the Lions the team to beat in the NFC, agreed Baker Mayfield is playing their way to MVP and the Buccaneers can be the NFC's No. 1 seed, said the Patriots should make the playoffs (while calling a playoff win an overreaction), and pegged the Commanders as the team that could take the NFC East from the Eagles.Chris Brockman · Positional Finishes · Baker Mayfield · Hit 83
Brockman argued the Buccaneers, with everyone back on offense, have a real chance at the NFC's No. 1 seed and a path to 13 wins, and that Baker Mayfield is a top-eight quarterback. They also declared the Bengals will win the AFC North, saying a 12-5 record takes the division.Shannon Sharpe · Positional Finishes · Baker Mayfield · Miss 25
Sharpe argued that through five weeks of the 2025 season Baker Mayfield has been the best-playing quarterback in the league, insisting no six quarterbacks are playing the position better than they are and that they belong in the top five if not first.
