Who are the NFC Championship Game Contenders?
These teams are the best contenders to reach the NFC Championship Game 2025:
- Detroit Lions (11-1) — Seen by many as the team with the best chance to win the NFC, the Lions are facing 18 players on IR. With their offense at full strength, they’ll need to put up a lot of points to counter all the defensive injuries, including to DPOY candidate Aidan Hutchinson, who will miss the season.
- Philadelphia Eagles (10-2) — The new favorite to come out of the NFC and make the Super Bowl, the Eagles are on an 8-game winning streak, and are looking to continue that throughout the playoffs. The addition of key pieces in the secondary and RB Saquon Barkley could make them NFC Champions.
- Minnesota Vikings (10-2) — The quietest 10-2 team you’ll ever see. The Vikings are a sneaky team to make the NFC Championship, but a long-shot to win the NFC Championship despite their record. The Vikings have benefitted from a soft schedule, with the Packers (9-3) and Texans (8-5) being the only Playoff teams they’ve defeated.
- Green Bay Packers (9-3) — The Jordan Love-led Packers are definitely dangerous and the Week 14 showdown on Thursday Night against the Lions will show how serious of contenders they are.
- Washington Commanders (8-5) — A long shot for the NFC Championship, but still a team to keep on your radar with the outstanding rookie season Jayden Daniels is having. Commanders are in a solid position to keep the third NFC Wild Card spot.
2025 NFC Championship Game Prediction: Eagles defeat Lions
The Philadelphia Eagles are on a hot streak, just like the Detroit Lions who are on a 10-game win streak. These two stand above the rest of the NFC, but the difference between them is evident: their health.
A healthy Lions team would become the NFC Champion, but the Eagles offense is going to take advantage of the Lions depleted defense in an offensive showcase.
My prediction for the NFC Championship Game? A high-scoring affair that ends Eagles 37, Lions 33.
