We are somehow officially a third of the way through the 2025 NFL regular season. The weeks have flown by thus far, and right now, we’re seeing the most parity in the league in years. Anybody can beat anybody on any given Sunday, which has made each game incredibly hard to pick.

Luke Hubbard: 17-11
