Power rankings and predictions rule the day this time of year as the NFL season approaches. ESPN’s highly anticipated FPI rankings recently were revealed, and they are predicting the New Orleans Saints to finish with over 10 wins, pegging them a solid fourth in the rankings.
However, the Saints have the 3rd-highest chance to win Super Bowl LV at 13%. The Kansas City Chiefs are first with a 21% chance to repeat as champs.
ESPN’s FPI or Football Power Index is their prediction model for the NFL season.
They factor in a myriad of different factors to reach the final conclusion such as projected win total from Vegas, number of returning starters, offensive, defensive, and special teams ratings from last season, and strength of schedule just to name a few.
