It is always a little nerve racking to see the first power rankings for the NFL. I have not seen all the teams play yet, but will once I spend the next few days glued to the NFL network, and I know already that some will be upset with where their favorite team has been ranked. In the pre season these rankings will change a lot, and as I get through my NFL team previews (this year featured at mtrfootball.com), they always change a ton. So be patient if your team is good they will climb the rankings and if not…Well we know already. With that being said let us get to it:
1.New England Patriots- They looked good, and Tom Brady has yet to play 2.Philadelphia Eagles- The NFL dream team, we think 3.New Orleans Saints- I like what they have added 4.Green Bay Packers- defending champs 5.New York Jets- I am betting Rex Ryan fixes their issues 6.Atlanta Falcons- a young team on the rise 7.Indianapolis Colts- They are still pretty good 8.St. Louis Rams- maybe a little high, but they look good 9.Baltimore Ravens- maybe a little low, we will see 10.San Diego Chargers- another very good team 11.Pittsburgh Steelers- hard to bet against them 12.Tampa Bay Buccaneers- another young team on the rise 13.New York Giants- I am very unsure about them 14.Detroit Lions- injuries are a problem, but they look sharp 15.Chicago Bears- we never believe in the Bears 16.Seattle Seahawks- I actually like what they have done 17.Cleveland Browns- I want to believe 18.Houston Texans- This is probably low for them, to be continued 19.Dallas Cowboys- I don’t have a good idea about this team yet 20.Denver Broncos- on paper they look pretty good 21.Jacksonville Jaguars- they could surprise some folks 22.Oakland Raiders- due for a big step forward 23.Arizona Cardinals- high for a team with a new QB 24.Washington Redskins- if things bounce right for them they may surprise 25.Carolina Panthers- I do not think they are headed anywhere 26.Tennessee Titans- sign Chris Johnson already 27.Miami Dolphins- QB issues are not good 28.Buffalo Bills- maybe their better than this 29.Minnesota Vikings- can we say rebuild 30.San Francisco 49ers- QB issues 31.Kansas City Chiefs- scored no points and have 33 million dollars in cap space 32.Cincinnati Bengals- man did they look bad
