Madden NFL 25 has several competing teams that can win it all, and it’s about to enter its most competitive season yet. The best teams mean they are an unstoppable force on the offensive end and an immovable object on the defense end. All the best teams on the list are generally well-rounded, and most will be based on their overall team rating in Madden NFL 25.
Madden NFL 25: Top 5 Teams to Play
Kansas City Chiefs
It makes sense to start the list with the two-time defending Superbowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. They have the best quarterback spearheading their offense and the best tight end in Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, respectively. They are a top-heavy team in the NFL, and they truly deserve to be the best team right now.
San Francisco 49ers
San Francisco 49ers have the cover athlete Christian McCaffrey, who is the best receiving back in the game. He also won the Best Offensive Player of the Year award and is on one of the deepest teams in the NFL. They have one of the best defenses, including Trent Williams, Fred Warner, Charvarius Ward, and many more. They want to be the top contenders to challenge the Kansas City Chiefs.
Detroit Lions
Detroit Lions prides itself on being one of the best defensive teams in the league. Their defense is stacked to the brim, and their offense relies on one of the best wide receivers, Amon-Ra St. Brown. Their team rating doesn’t show their prowess, but they are one of the strongest teams in the NFL because they are very versatile.
Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens might be the closest team to the Kansas City Chiefs in terms of overall team rating. They have one of the strongest defenses, and Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews are their top offensive players. They have struggled to make appearances in the Superbowl but are incredibly persistent, as they have made the playoffs in the last two seasons.
Cincinnati Bengals
According to Madden NFL 25’s overall team ratings, the Cincinnati Bengals boast a high 89 team rating. They have a potent offense with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins leading the offense. They also have some pivotal defensive players in Trey Hendrickson and Trent Brown, making the Cincinnati Bengals a great overall team.
