Earl's NBA power ranking · Week 25, 2025

Philadelphia sits at 17th with a neutral-field rating of -0.508, meaning they're essentially a half-point worse than an average team, but the 0.411 jump from last week signals real upward momentum. That rating is a massive leap from last year's -8.609, so this is a clear buy on a team the market hasn't fully caught up to, especially with a 0.52 cover rate against the number. With no key players docked and a near-neutral schedule, the -0.5 rating suggests they should be priced as a pick'em or slight dog in most spots, making them live value whenever the spread inflates past a field goal.
