Time to rank all 32 teams with the preseason starting tomorrow...

1. Green Bay Packers- They are the Super Bowl champions and the best thing about it? They are flying under the radar and are very dangerous thanks to the fact they are getting a lot of players back from the injured reserve list.

2. New England Patriots- With the addition of Chad Ochocinco, the Patriots receiving core just got a whole lot better. So did the defense, which needs to compete with the Jets twice a year.

3. Philadelphia Eagles- I know I said don't buy into the hype, but this team just looks to talented on paper not to rank this high.

4. New Orleans Saints- The who dat nation will be back this year, with quarterback and emotional leader Drew Brees leading the way.

5. Baltimore Ravens- If the Super Bowl hangover is true, the Ravens are in luck and Joe Flacco could finally silence all the critics.

6. San Diego Chargers- Great quarterback. Check. Great receivers. Check. Great defense. Check. Great special teams? They are working on it.

7. Atlanta Falcons- Despite getting blown out in the playoffs last year, Atlanta made some key moves to help their defense and their deep passing game, two of their weaknesses in 2010.  

8. Indianapolis Colts- Even with two neck surgeries, #18 is still one of the top quarterbacks in the game and this team will go as far as he goes.

9. Pittsburgh Steelers- This might be a little low for a team that just made it to the Super Bowl, but there has been a lot of distractions for Pittsburgh entering training camp. If there is one team that can shake the curse, its the Steelers.  

10. New York Jets- Could this finally be the year that the Jets over take the evil Patriots? It could be a longshot, since the Jets lost key pieces like Braylon Edwards, Brad Smith, and Shaun Ellis.

11. Dallas Cowboys- 2010 was a disappointment, but with a health Tony Romo and an improving defense, its not crazy to think that this team can go 12-4.

12. Kansas City Chiefs- Many think that KC was a one hit wonder, but with all this young talent the Chiefs may be able to compete with the AFC West favorite Chargers.

13. Houston Texans- "This is our year." That is the voice of ever Texan fan over the past three seasons. With a hobbled Peyton Manning and a dynamic offense, Houston could finally have something to celebrate about.

14. New York Giants- With the Cowboys and Eagles starting controversy, the Giants are flying under the radar. If Eli Manning can improve his touchdown to interception ratio, the Giants will be the surprise winners of the NFC East.

15. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- You might not agree with their offseason decisions, but you can't deny that this team is on the way to the playoffs.

16. St. Louis Rams- The NFC West motto is, "Well, somebody has to win it." Why not the Rams? They have the best quarterback in the division and one of the best running backs in league history.

17. Minnesota Vikings-  The post Favre era has begun and the Vikings have come prepared with Donovan McNabb. Adrian Peterson and him should compliment each other nicely.

18. Oakland Raiders- For the first time in years the Raiders seem like they have things figured out. Oh wait, this just in, Al Davis is their owner. Don't expect much of the silver and black this season.

19. Chicago Bears- Even though the Bears won the NFC North and nearly made it to the Super Bowl, the team got luck by avoiding injuries on defense. Don't expect them to be as lucky in 2011 and also, don't expect them to win the division again.  

20. Jacksonville Jaguars- A head coach on the hot seat and a rookie quarterback on the roster should make for some intrigue, but not a winning record.

21. Detroit Lions- Last season created optimism for many Lions fans, but now the team has had to endure injuries to rookies Nick Fairley and Mikel Leshoure. By the way, the division just got a whole lot better with McNabb in the twin cities.

22. Arizona Cardinals- Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals finally have a franchise quarterback, the only problem is, he has only played in seven games.

23. Seattle Seahawks- Sure they have made a lot of moves, but Seattle has a while to go before they start competing again, even in the NFC West.

24. San Francisco 49ers- With so many new faces in the bay area, its difficult to see if the 49ers can stay competitive. Even though it is the NFC West, the 49ers have not done as much as other divisional opponents to get to the playoffs.

25. Tennessee Titans- Matt Hasselbeck does bring some stability to the quarterback position, but I'm not sure if he can stay healthy all 16 games and with CJ2KY holding out, the Titans could have another disappointing year.

26. Cleveland Browns- Peyton Hillis and Colt McCoy give Browns fans a reason for hope, but a winning record is asking this club to do to much, especially because they have to play Pittsburgh and Baltimore twice a year.

27. Buffalo Bills- This team is no doubt improving, but 2011 is to soon to think that this team can compete, especially with Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback.

28. Denver Broncos- Its not a good start in the post Josh McDaniels era with a unhappy quarterback and an angry fan base. Denver would be lucky to get out last place of the AFC West this year.

29. Miami Dolphins- Unbeatable on the road but beatable at home? That can't be right, but for the Dolphins it is, who have one of the worst quarterback situations in the world.  

30. Cincinnati Bengals- I know what would be a good idea, why not let two of you most recognizable players go Mike Brown? Whoever told him that deserves to be slapped upside the head, or maybe he should just slap himself.

31. Carolina Panthers- There are to many questions at quarterback to think that this team can get out of the cellar, especially in the NFC South.

32. Washington Redskins- I always wonder why the Redskins didn't make a move for a quarterback in the draft or in free agency, but then I see one name available in next years draft. Andrew Luck. Nice strategy Mike Shannahan, its like you never came back to coach.
