1(1) Patriots- Tom Brady looked really good last season. Now he opens up the season with over 500 passing yards. The Pats are the team to beat.


 2(2) Packers - They are definitely the top dogs in the NFC.

 

 3(7) Ravens - The Ravens stomped over the Steelers in week 1, and earned themselves a #3 in the week 2 power rankings.

 

 4(5) Eagles - Still, some issues, but a lot of talent. The Eagles will have a great season.

 

 5(10) Jets - I’m not sure if the Cowboys choked or the Jets stepped up. Regardless, a big win to open the season.

 

 6(4) Saints - Sure, the Saints lost in week 1, but it came down to the last play on the 1-yard line. They are still one of the best in the NFL.

 7(9) Bears - The Bears embarrassed the Falcons last week, showing that they are strong on both sides of the football.

 

 8(8) Chargers - The Chargers are what we thought they were. Good on offense, mediocre on defense.

 

 9(3) Steelers – The Steelers played awful against the Ravens. I can’t put them under the 9 spot with that play. They will improve on those mistakes in week 1, however.

 

 10(12) Texans – The Texans showed that they are certainly capable of winning their division this year.

 11(6) Falcons – Atlanta had a random beating last week, but that was out of the ordinary. They’ll be better than that.

 

 12(17) Lions – Detroit is now for real. They are definitely threats to making playoffs this year.


 13(11) Cowboys - Dallas played well for the most part Sunday night, however completely choked at the end.


 14(21) Cardinals - The Kevin Kolb trade looks like it was worth it. Arizona did lose this previous game, but they certainly played well offensively.

 

 15(31) Redskins – The Redskins were projected to be awful and they played great against the Giants, especially Rex Grossman.

 

 16(18) Rams – I’m sure the Rams could have won that game against Philly, hadn’t Bradford and Steven Jackson getting injured. I’m thinking they will win their division.

 

 17(15) Giants – If Eli’s really in Tom Brady’s class, the Giants would’ve won that game.

 18(13) Buccaneers – The Bucs need to play better at home, especially against Detroit.

 

 19(25) Jaguars – I wasn’t expecting the Jags and Luke McCown to beat the Titans and Matt Hasselbeck, but they played well enough to get the W.

 

 20(23) 49ers – Good coaching all around by Mr. Harbaugh. I think hiring him was the right deceision.

 

 21(20) Raiders – I like the Raiders offensively; defensively, a bit of a problem.

 

 22(22) Titans – I wish Matt Hasselbeck would have won that game last week so I could rank the Titans higher, but he needs to step up being the vet he is.

 

 23(16) Chiefs – Awful.

 

 24(24) Dolphins – It was pretty obvious that New England was going to beat the Dolphins, but they played pretty good offense.

 

 25(29) Bills – If the Bills stay consistent, they could beat out Miami for the #3 spot in the AFC East.

 

 26(14) Colts – Losing the face of your franchise is tough…

 27(19) Vikings – When your QB throws for 39 yards in the game, it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll win the game.

 

 28(30) Panthers – Big debut for Cam Newton. I’m still not sold on him, but if he continues good play, I’d rank Carolina higher.

 29(26) Broncos -  Right now, the decision of starting Kyle Orton was John Fox’s best.

 

 30(32) Bengals – The Cedric Benson game-winning run put the Bengals in front of the Browns.

 

 31(27) Browns – The Browns better beat the Manning-less Colts this week.

 32(28) Seahawks – I just don’t see the reasoning of starting Tavaris Jackson.
