At least GB is top 10. I think they should be a little higher, but they will either go up or down depending on Mr Rodgers.

Dallas is returning practically the same team I think.. Imagine that's why they're "ranked" so high.

What has Indy done to merit being put above the Pats? I see those two reversed. The Cowboys probably ARE a legitimate 3rd in what I see as a relatively weak overall NFL.

The Packers? True, we lost Favre, but I don't see the team as worse. (I'd liken this to the Badgers losing Tucker and Taylor a year ago, and many people downgrading them). I honestly can't see anybody other than the aforementioned three ahead of Green Bay.

I put Jacksonville and Cleveland ahead of San Diego for 5, 6, and 7. I see the Steelers as better than the FLUKE known as the Giants. then Washington, then Seattle for 8-11.

Below that, it could go a lot of ways. I see the Bears, Vikings, Panthers, Broncos, and Jets as teams which could be a lot better than the rankings in the article.

The Original Tex? If so, did you bring any friends with you? In any case, welcome!

Possibly. I think most observers correctly assume the Pats defense, now ANOTHER year older, is going to have some struggles. Can they really put together another 16-0 type season? Unlikely.

Indy has a young, improving defense compared to the Pats' aging relic...and Peyton and crew will still be dangerous.

Can Marvin Harrison come back and play anywhere near his previous level?

I put Indy way up there. Jacksonville too. The Packers are about right. I think they'll do OK because they have a GM who gets talent, but there is a school of thought that without a HOF QB, you can't do much. I'm not sure I buy it just yet, but I'm not sure that I don't buy it either. This year is going to say a lot.

I have a good feeling........we're going to shock alot of experts this year....the same ones who didn't give the Packers a prayer at the beginning of last year.

I have faith in Mr. Rodgers.
