| 1 | Indianapolis Colts |
13-3 | A healthy (and free) Harrison combined with many of the same components from last year makes this team very difficult to beat. |
| 2 | New England Patriots |
16-0 | The Moss/ Brady combo still makes this team legendary, but can the defense keep it together? |
| 3 | Dallas Cowboys |
13-3 | Pacman (sorry A. Jones)? If so, this team will have another amazing season with T.O. and Romo. Their weakest spots are at wide receiver and running back because of depth if their starters go down, but I hate to say it: this team is stacked |
| 4 | San Diego Chargers |
11-5 | Seems to be a favorite to make it to the Super Bowl. I need to be convinced. Just stay healthy. |
| 5 | |
11-5 | They have a simple goal....take the division from the Colts. With Gregg Williams changing up the D, this could make an already good defense great. |
| 6 | 10-6 | Looking like a very strong and complete team. | |
| 7 | |
10-6 | Will they prove that their win was skill, not luck? |
| 8 | |
10-6 | Duckett and J. Jones could bring new life in along with Solari to coach the O-line. |
| 9 | |
10-6 | Keep the surprises coming. Let's especially hope to see a surprise from the defense. |
| 10 | |
8-8 | I placed them this high because with a healthy Donovan McNabb and Asante Samuel coming in, this could be a big shocker. |
| 11 | |
13-3 | Now that the legend has left, can his former teammates make him proud? Good luck Rodgers. |
| 12 | |
10-6 | Vince, it's still up to you kid. |
| 13 | |
9-7 | He's back....W. Dunn. Will he be the missing link for the Bucs? |
| 14 | |
7-9 | Big Baby AKA Marcus Stroud has come in and will likely take care of their problem with the run defense. |
| 15 | |
7-9 | After game one, this team may move up quickly. Don't be surprised to see the Saints playing some dominating football. |
| 16 | |
8-8 | Peterson is spectacular.....can the rest of the team live up to Peterson's level? If not, I should have listed this team a few spots lower. |
| 17 | |
9-7 | This is practically a brand new team. Can Portis and the fellas finish what they tried to start last season? |
| 18 | |
8-8 | Three things will hinder this team from reaching the play-offs: 1) the Colts 2) the Jaguars and 3) the Titans. And it will probably be in that order. |
| 19 | |
8-8 | They need to fill positions on both sides of the ball and leave too many doubts to be a sure bet for the play offs. They need to lock up those key elements. |
| 20 | 7-9 | Can they take the top spot in their division away from the Bucs? Nope. Even if Delhomme stays injury free, this team doesn't look so hot. | |
| 21 | |
4-12 | Even when they do finally settle on a QB, these guys have a long up-hill battle. Too many pieces are missing. |
| 22 | 7-9 | Grossman's abilities are still.....uh gross. Consistency Rex. | |
| 23 | |
7-9 | Bailey still looks good, Marshall says he feels great and they act as if they are ready to go, nut I'm not impressed. Let's not forget about Henry being released. Who will fill that void? |
| 24 | |
7-9 | Part of being a leader is taking the credit for the good and the blame for the bad. Can Johnson be the leader (and not the entertainer) this year? |
| 25 | |
5-11 | Smith, Flacco, or Boller? It's looking like Smith is a good bet, but a great deal of their season will depend on the QB. |
| 26 | |
5-11 | Gore will be the leader. Can Nolan coach Gore and the rest of the team to greatness? |
| 27 | 3-13 | Get your offense up to par and keep them healthy. | |
| 28 | 4-12 | J. Russell, it's time to earn your paycheck and let's hope that McFadden can help out as well. If offense, defense, and special teams can get on the same page, this may be too low, but we can only hope. | |
| 29 | |
4-12 | Can Herm coach this very young team to the play-offs? I doubt it, but we'll see. |
| 30 | 7-9 | Sorry fellas, but 8 years is much too long for you to still be in your transition phase. | |
| 31 | |
1-15 | Let's face it, they have no where to go but up. |
| 32 | |
4-12 | They took the Jaguars defensive coordinator as their new head coach. M. Smith is a great guy, but even he is no miracle worker. |
