We’ve only got two weeks left in the 2025 NFL regular season, and the race for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft is coming down to the wire.

It’s a two-horse race at the top following Week 16, as the New York Giants hold a narrow lead over the other two-win team left at this point, the Las Vegas Raiders. Four more teams are close behind them with just three wins each, and with two games left, there’s still plenty of time for things to shift again at the top of the board.
