I'm surprised no one's posted this yet, but here they are (sports.espn.go.com):
Patriots
Eagles
Colts
Broncos
Chiefs
Seahawks
Falcons
Panthers
Ravens
Titans
Dolphins
Packers
Vikings
Rams
Cowboys
Buccaneers
Bengals
Redskins
Raiders
Jaguars
Bears
Saints
Bills
Jets
Lions
Steelers
Texans
Browns
Giants
Cardinals
49ers
Chargers
As always, lists like these are highly subjective. That being said, I'm surprised to see the Donkeys ranked so high. Here's hoping Tatum Bell becomes Clinton Portis II.
12? 12? THAT'S where they rank the Pack, despite the whole offense coming back?
They must have no faith in our secondary at all...and that's the only glaring weakness.
Star wipe, and...we're out. Thrillin' ain't easy.

Likewise, I think Miami is rated a tad high. They have no set starting QB yet, David Boston has been busy being David Boston since he got here, I'm still not sure they have 5 guys who can block and the best move by the offense this season may end up being Ricky's haircut.
So they're not exactly inspiring me to put them in the top 1/3 of the league. But then again, maybe they'll do better with lowered expectations. God knows they have issues with meeting high expectations.

Am I the only one that thinks the Eagles will choke AGAIN this year?
No. It's an annual tradition: Eagles make the NFC Title game, lose at home to a team that they're supposed to crush. My money's on the Cardinals this year.
So, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?

12th place....good spot to start off...and after hearing endless blabber from other NFC North teams telling me the Pack was going in the wrong direction, it's a nice change....which I thought our demise was greatly exaggerated.
How in the hell are the Titans so far down at No. 10. I'm not a Titans mark or anything, but there's now way that the Ravens, Panthers, Falcons, and Seahawks should rank above the Titans. Probably not the Broncos either.

I think the main question with the Titans is McNair's health. If he keeps getting banged up they won't finish in the top ten. If he can stay healthy, then they likely are top five. Big question though.

I love McNair as a player, but I just feel like the day's going to come sooner that later that he doesn't bounce back from the beating he takes on a game to game basis as fast as he has. It's like Allen Iverson and the beating HE takes and how it now seems to be catching up with him.
Let me get this straight...the Bears finish strong last year, they add a couple of very nice pickups in free agency, make a nice draft pick, the QB will have another training camp and preseason under his belt, and we're barely ranked ahead of the freaking Lions to avoid being the lowest ranked team in the NFC North? WTF?
Toil not to gain wealth, cease to be concerned about it. Proverbs 23:4
Jonesin' for football. I'll try to scratch that itch by attending an AF2 game this weekend (Green Bay Blizzard against somebody), then AFL next weekend as I catch the Chicago Rush take on the Dallas Desperados.
Da Bears? Grossman's still a second year QB, who has only started one (or two?) games. The o-line, while it should be better, is still up in the air at left tackle. There's still no proven running game (remember, Jones couldn't start in Tampa Bay). And remember last year when everyone was whining about Urlacher being over-rated on the airwaves down there? What's changed there -- they're still looking for the reincarnation of Washington and Traylor on the inside to protect Urlacher.
What about the 'Skins? They're ranked freaking 18th when all they've done is improve their team over the off-season. Hell, having Gibbs alone should have put us in the top 15!
"Oh, I'm a sad little man? I've thrown a bloody kettle over a pub...what have you done?"
I think losing Kearse and Smith on the D-Line, Wycheck retiring hurts....yes, they retooled in the draft, but you can't immediately fix losing 2 good DLs by drafting college kids.

GO PATS!
When you're the defending Super Bowl champions and you make a massive upgrade at your only true weak spot on offense, it's be a traveshamockery for you to NOT be at the top of any preseason list.

Yeah yeah yeah...to be the man and all that. :-P
I hate the Patriots more than any team in the NFL but I also respect them more than any team in the NFL. Go fig.

Ooooh, I'm happy. I know there are talks of him being a bit banged up (back when he took the season off) but if he can stay healthy, man this will be awesome. The chiefs with a semblance of defense.
