New Rules for 2025
Every year in the NFL, they come up with new rules. Some are hardly noticed and some can effect a game or two. Here are this year’s rules changes courtesy of Bovada Sportsbook:
- New Kickoff and Touchback Spot
- On a touchback, the ball will now be placed at the 35-yard line, not the 30.
- Overtime Changes
- Regular season overtime now mirrors the playoff rules. Each team is guaranteed at least one possession, even when the first team scores a touchdown. Overtime has also been shortened to 10 minutes from 15.
- Virtual First-Down Measurements
- Like MLB, the NFL is going the digital route for specific rules and measurements. All stadiums will feature Sony Hawk-Eye technology, which utilizes camera-based tracking to determine first downs instantly. It will be immediately used this year; the chain gang will only be used as a backup.
- New Reviewable Plays
- Replay officials can now review facemasks, roughing the kicker, roughing the passer, intentional grounding, unnecessary roughness, horse-collar tackles, and tripping.
- No More “Nose Wipe” Celebrations
- You read that right. The NFL has banned the celebration where players wipe their noses as a celebration. It is now considered unsportsmanlike conduct and is a 15-yard penalty.
Prediction
Drew Lock and Jalen Milroe put up some points for the Seahawks last week in their tie against the Raiders. Meanwhile, the Chiefs stopped scoring when Bailey Zappe took over in the second half. The edge definitely goes to Seattle’s backups in this one and Milroe still has a chance to be the regular season backup and has big play potential. The Chiefs could care less about the preseason, especially on the road.
Pick: Seahawks -2.5
