Rank (Previous) | 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.
