Top 2025 NFL playoff bracket predictions

One of the NFL playoff bracket predictions from the model for the championship round: It is high on the Philadelphia Eagles (-6, 47.5) to win and cover against the Washington Commanders on Sunday in the 2025 NFC Championship Game. The Eagles maintained their impressive form with a 28-22 win over the Rams in the Divisional Round, powered by two long touchdown runs from star running back Saquon Barkley. He finished with 205 rushing yards and two touchdowns, averaging 7.9 yards per carry.

He has gone over 100 rushing yards in eight of his last nine games, which will help keep the Commanders offense off the field. Washington rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is getting set for the biggest game of his life, while Philadelphia has experienced players on its roster. The model has Philadelphia winning and covering en route to a Super Bowl 59 appearance. See which other teams to pick here.
