1. Patriots - I would have put the Packers at #1, but the last team to repeat Super Bowls was the Patriots. How ironic?

2. Packers - They breezed through the playoffs, and have an extremely good offense and defense. Cheeseheads will be happy this year.

3. Steelers - They have arguably the best defensive in the NFL, and one of the toughest QBs in the NFL. They are tough all around, and that usually leads to victory (along with good play, of course).

4. Saints - With one of the best QBs in the game right now and a leader, look for the Saints to have a lot of success this season.

5. Eagles - If it weren't for good spending over the offseason, I'm not sure PHI would be this highly ranked. They were impressive last year and with great additions, they should be even better.

6. Falcons - Led by a young veteran QB Matt Ryan and new WR Julio Jones, look for an explosive offense from Atlanta this year.

7. Ravens - Baltimore had good WR changes, which was a bit of a problem for them last season. Very good defense and reliable Joe Flacco will bring good things to the table.

8. Chargers - Risky putting SD this high, but I think Rivers and the Chargers will finally have success in the playoffs this year.

9. Bears - Hey, look who got O-line help? Da Bears! That was a HUGE issue last season. With a fixed O-line, the Bears should score more TDs, with time.

10. Jets - The Jets shouldn't be this low, but with a disappointing offseason, they lacked to re-sign players and sign players. Are their wild card chances evaporating?

11. Cowboys - With Wade Phillips out of town and a better coach Jason Garrett in town, the Cowboys should have a normal Dallas year, not like their horrific last year.

12. Texans - The Texans did an extremely good job over the offseason fixing their defense. They moved Mario to OLB, giving more vast defending options while still producing a pass-rush. Drafting JJ Watt was huge, and he'll be good. Finally, the additions of Danieal Manning and Jonathan Joseph at CB will improve their secondary a lot.

13. Buccaneers - Tough division to be in for a 10-6 team last season. The Bucs have a lot of talent, they are just in the wrong division. I still think they are a top-15 team though.

14. Colts - With Manning out, how far can Kerry Collins bring Indy to victory?

15. Giants - I would have ranked NYG higher, but with bad luck coming to their defense, they had far too many injuries.

16. Chiefs - The Chiefs were in their rebuilding stage, and now they are proving they are a playoff-caliber team.

17. Lions - What a draft the Lions had in April! Too bad about Mikel Leshoure, but their defensive line now consists of Suh, Corey Williams, Nick Fairley, and Vanden Bosch. I feel bad for whoever is running the ball against Detroit! If Stafford can stay healthy, we'll see you in the playoffs!

18. Rams - I like what the Rams are doing overall with their improvements. Bradford is proving he can make it in the NFL, and he's got good guys to throw to. I see James Laurinaitis helping their defense to 9 wins and a playoff spot.

19. Vikings - The Vikings were great with Favre in 2009, but in 2010 with lack of QB help, they failed to be successful. Now that they have McNabb and a young learning Christian Ponder, they should be back to normal.

20. Raiders - The Raiders had a tough break losing Asomugha but Jason Campbell seems to have settled in nicely in Oakland.

21. Cardinals - Hopefully Kevin Kolb can help the Cardinals win some games.

22. Titans - I like the Titans this year, and I love what they did for their QB situation. Locker being taught under Hasselbeck? I love it.

23. 49ers - Jim Harbaugh was good coaching at Stanford, and I think he'll be good with San Francisco. He's just got to realize that Alex Smith is a bust.

24. Dolphins - Reggie Bush, Daniel Thomas, and Larry Johnson at the backfield? Miami sure does love their running backs. Miami still has a lot of issues, and especially at QB.

25. Jaguars - Luke McCown starting at QB? Whatever floats your boat....

26. Broncos - Good thing their fans didn't decide who's starting at QB because Kyle Orton is what they need.

27. Browns - It seems Peyton Hillis is all they have at hope for offense. Cleveland will not have success this year.

28. Seahawks - Tavaris Jackson? That is called taking a risk. He struggled in the preseason, and he most likely will in the regular season, too.

29. Bills - The Bills need defensive help immediately.

30. Panthers - I like what the Panthers did with their defense over the offseason, but was taking Cam Newton 1st overall the right choice?

31. Redskins - Maybe Rex Grossman can help get a few wins for the 'Skins.

32. Bengals -  Let's just face it. The Bengals are just awful.
