Hey ladies and gentlemen, thought I would come back from my month layoff of not writing and write my NFL preseason top 10.

I will be updating the top 10 every week and making sure it's accurate to me. So I present to you, my NFL preseason top 10.

1. New York Giants

Now, I know everybody is saying that the Patriots are the best team, but that's just on paper. They were the best team on paper last year also, if I remember, and I don't remember them winning the Super Bowl.

Until the Giants lose a game in the regular season, they are the ones to beat, because in case you guys forgot, they are the defending Super Bowl Champions.

Eli Manning showed us what he was capable of in the playoffs, and I expect him to show improvement this year. Brandon Jacobs is a tough runner that is hard to bring down, and Ahmad Bradshaw is a change-of-pace running back.

Their defense isn't going to be as dominant as it was last year in the playoffs, and the wide receivers are going to be about the same with Plaxico Burress coming back with a healthy ankle. Jeremy Shockey's departure is a loss because of his talent, but is an upgrade because of his attitude in the locker room.

2. New England Patriots

What a season last year, 16-0 in the regular season and then came up short at winning the Super Bowl. Sorry guys, 18-1 without a Super Bowl win is horrible.

I do believe they are probably going to have the best offense once again, with Randy Moss, Wes Welker, and Tom Brady, but their defense is going to be even older than last year, and they lost Asante Samuel, but drafted a beast of a linebacker in Jerod Mayo, who should be a breath of fresh air at the linebacker position.

They have the easiest schedule in football, and that should help with the defense not wearing out, but don't expect another 16-0 season.

3. San Diego Chargers

Man, this team is loaded with talent: LT, Shawn Merriman, Luis Castillo, Antonio Gates, Jamal Williams, Shaun Phillips, Antonio Cromartie, Quenten Jammer, and Mike Scifres. Now, with all that talent you would think they could make a Super Bowl run, but they haven't been able to.

Last year, the injury bug bit them where it hurt (LT, Rivers, and Gates). As long as they can stay healthy and have the electric defense they usually have, then I don't see why they can't make a Super Bowl run and maybe finally make it "Lights Out" for the critics.

They seem to know how to beat the Colts, but it's the Patriots they have to prove themselves against.

4. Dallas Cowboys

Now I know your saying Tony Homo or whatever nickname you have for Tony Romo, and I bet your also probably saying TO is a crybaby and is a jerk.

Well, I hate to break it to you guys, but TO is a freak of an athlete, no question about that. He does drop passes, but he catches a lot of TD passes, thanks in part to Tony Romo being his quarterback, oh and don't forget about Jason Witten, either.

Tony hasn't won a playoff game, but I see that changing this year. The team is better all around, and the offense is going to be the same or even better, with the addition of Felix Jones.

If Adam Jones is allowed to play again, he brings depth at cornerback and makes their special teams a threat. They added a stud of a  cornerback in the draft by drafting Mike Jenkins. They have the pieces to be the best team in the NFC this year.

5. Indianapolis Colts

The only reason they are this low is because of the health concerns for Peyton Manning (infected bursa sac), Marvin Harrison (legal issues and his bum knee), and Dwight Freeney (foot).

Manning and Freeney should be ready for the start of the regular season, with Manning probably coming back in the preseason. They will be like the Colts are every year: great offense and a solid defense (as long as Bob Sanders and Freeney are healthy). This might be the year that they lose the division crown to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

6. Jacksonville Jaguars

You had to know that last little bit about the Colts was going to lead to this. I really like the Jaguars' running game, stout defense, and solid quarterback play. David Garrard showed he can play a full season as a starter and produced good numbers.

The duo of Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor is one of the best two-running-back systems in the game, if not the best. They added some wide receivers to help Garrard, but to also alleviate the pressure on the ground game.
