1. Indianapolis Colts. Reggie Wayne proved last year that he is a viable number one receiver, so whether or not Harrison plays, the Colts will still be….”The Colts”.  
2. Dallas Cowboys. Even if Pacman doesn’t play, which I think he will, this team still won 13 games last year. Their only real change is Julius for Felix at RB.   
3. San Diego Chargers. LT had a drop-off in production last year and still led the league in rushing yards, which shows just how good he is.   
4. New England Patriots. It’s the same ol' Patriots, with older linebackers (Jerod Mayo is the exception) and one fewer wide-out. I would have them higher, but Randy Moss’ production dropped at the end of the year as teams learned how to cover him.   
5. Philadelphia Eagles. A healthy Donovan McNabb and L.J. Smith, combined with additions Asante Samuel, Chris Clemons, and draft picks DeSean Jackson and Trevor Laws, should make this team deadly.   
6. Jacksonville Jaguars. With their new second tier receivers this team is better, but only if Garrard can be as consistent as he was last year.   
7. Minnesota Vikings. They have a solid defense, but Adrian Peterson started getting bottled up at the end of the season.  I don’t think that he can repeat last year's success.   
8. Pittsburgh Steelers. Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall should be a formidable 1-2 punch, but with that schedule…   
9. Green Bay Packers. Aaron Rodgers is no Brett Favre, and it will be blatantly obvious. At least they still have their defense.   
10. New York Giants. The World Champions got hot at the right time, but no one expects them to repeat.   
11. Seattle Seahawks. Matt Hasselback runs a quality and consistent offense, and is backed by a forceful, but not dominating defense.   
12. Tennessee Titans. Alge Crumpler should make the offense more dynamic, and they still have a playoff caliber defense.   
13. Houston Texans. QB Matt Schaub and WR Andre Johnson are explosive, and former number one pick Mario Williams is making the Texans front office look brilliant.   
14. New Orleans Saints. Brees is still an elite QB and Colston is in a real groove, and if Sedrick Ellis is as dominating like he was at USC then they could be much better than this.   
15. Arizona Cardinals. Leinart is still a developing QB, and their defense needs some serious help.  
16. Buffalo Bills. The Bills are young and talented; give them some time and they will be dangerous. But not yet.   
17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs are getting old, but they do have the advantage of playing in the weak NFC south.   
18. Cleveland Browns. The Browns were only as good as they were last year because of an easy schedule, and they won’t be so lucky this year. However, the addition of Donte' Stallworth makes this offense e
