Inside The GridIron: Week One Power Rankings

Rank (Old) | Team  Record    Comments

1 (1)  |  Steelers  0-0   The Steelers look to extend their dominance.  

2 (3)  |  Patriots   0-0    Tom Brady looks like the Brady of old. It remains to be seen if the young players will step up with the absence of Richard Seymour.

3 (2)  |  Giants     0-0   Eli Manning will need to replace Plaxico, but expect the Giants to ride Jacobs the whole season.   

4 (4)  |  Eagles      0-0   McNabb and company should be passing early and often this season.

5 (5)  |  Colts         0-0   If Joseph Addai doesn’t step up, Peyton Manning will have to carry this team for much of the season.

6 (6)  |  Chargers   0-0   Big expectations in San Diego this season. A healthy tandem of Merriman and LT will take this team far this season.

7 (8)  |   Ravens     0-0   Derrick Mason is back after a quick scare. This team will be one of the best in the AFC again this season.

8 (9)  |  Falcons      0-0   Matt Ryan will be even better this season with the addition of Tony Gonzalez. If this team has a weakness, it is on the defense. 

9 (7)  |  Cardinals    0-0   Larry Fitzgerald looks to continue his dominance this season.

10 (10)  |  Titans     0-0   The Titans have upgraded their receiving corps this season. Chris Johnson and a slimmed-down LenDale White could be deadly.  

11 (12)  |  Vikings     0-0   Brett Favre gives this team a chance to do some damage all year long.

12 (15)  |  Bears        0-0   The Jay Cutler era has begun. Expectations are high in Chi-town.

14 (19)  |  Packers    0-0   The new 3-4 will work wonders for this team.

15 (14)  |  Texans     0-0   Schaub, Slaton and Johnson is scare for any defensive coordinator.
