Chargers win AFC West, Packers make NFC Wild Card over Bears in Colin's latest NFL predictions | The Herd

Colin Cowherd reveals his latest 2025 NFL predictions, including the Los Angeles Chargers winning the AFC West and the Green Bay Packers making the NFC Wild Card over the Chicago Bears.

Is there overtime in the NFL preseason?

No, there is no overtime in the NFL preseason games. Overtime was eliminated from NFL preseason games in 2021. If a game is still tied at the end of regulation, it simply ends in a draw and no extra period is played.

Why is there not overtime in the NFL preseason?

Because preseason games don’t impact the official standings and are meant primarily for preparation, the league prioritized player safety in its decision. With the regular season already stretching longer than in years past, reducing unnecessary risk during August made practical sense. 

When was the last NFL preseason game to end in a tie?

So far in the 2025 NFL preseason, there has been one tie in the Raiders vs. Seahawks game on August 8, 2025.
