Better Power Ratings

Mark, Mark, Mark. Actually I don't disagree with your posts that much. I think you've overrated the Cowboys and injury-prone Panthers.


NFL Power ratings — Preseason
(With predicted records)
1. New England (14-2): Too much talent.
2. San Diego (11-5): With all the new coaches, I want to put them lower.
3. Baltimore (10-6): Should petition for a new schedule.
4. Jacksonville (11-5): Byron who? Just hand the ball off.
5. Denver (11-5): Champ and Dre will make it hard to pass against this team.
6. Indianapolis (11-5): Lost a lot from a defense that was already bad.
7. Cincinnati (11-5): Third place schedule is a boost.
8. Chicago (11-5): Finally, an NFC team.
9. Pittsburgh (9-7): Can Mike Tomlin continue the legacy.
10. Seattle (10-6): Bounce-back year in overhyped NFC West.
11. St. Louis (9-7): Offense should be nearly as good as Super Bowl teams.
12. New Orleans (8-8): They were only 10-6 last year, playing a last place sked.
13. Philadelphia (9-7): When will Philly fans start booing McNabb?
14. Buffalo (9-7): I love Lee Evans.
15. New York Jets (8-8): Is Thomas Jones the answer? No.
16. Dallas (8-8): They were bad at the end of last year.
17. Tampa Bay (9-7): Bucs won the division two years ago. Ride that Caddy.
18. Green Bay (8-8): Building a strong defense.
19. Arizona (8-8): Bounce back year for the Edge.
20. Washington (8-8): Can't be as bad as last year.
21. Carolina (7-9): Should lead the league in starters missing games.
22. Houston (6-10): Good thing they didn't draft Reggie Bush!
23. Kansas City (7-9): Expect a year-long QB controversy.
24. Miami (5-11): Could be a playoff contender in the NFC.
25. Minnesota (8-8): Adrian Peterson is that good.
26. San Francisco (6-10): Over-rated! Over-rated! Gore never stays healthy.
27. Detroit (6-10): Where's Charlie Rogers?
28. Oakland (4-12): If the defense can figure out ways to score.....
29. Tennessee (5-11): The Vince Youngs will win a couple games.
30. New York Giants (5-11): Maybe Tiki should coach the team.
31. Cleveland (4-12): Go Charlie Frye!
32. Atlanta (2-14): Bark! Bark! Bark!
