Preseason NFL Power Rankings - Part 5

Elite


Finally, here where are. This is the elite group. These are the teams that I think have it all together and have what it takes to make and win the Super Bowl. Consequently they are my picks for the Championship game matchups and the Super Bowl. Is that really surprising? That’s how it should be, no? I tried not to let my Peyton Manning man-crush push me too much, but he is aging like a fine wine and only gets better as the years go on, so I think it’s deserving.

Primed for a Big Year

The next group is where it really gets interesting. This is the group of teams that I would believe are going to compete solidly for the playoffs and could make some noise once they get there. These are teams that could win the Super Bowl (anything can happen) but ultimately just seem to be missing something that puts them over the top to make them legit contenders.

Could Go Either Way

The next group of teams I have titled “Could Go Either Way,” for the obvious reason that they could go either way. These are teams that performed well enough last year and either have reason to believe they could compete for the playoffs, or reason to believe that their window is closing and they might take a bigger than expected fall this year. This is the group with the biggest question marks, some of them are expecting big things after recent additions, but are still unclear, while others are wondering how they can cope with age and/or defections (or worst case, disgruntled players). I would say there is a 25% chance the Super Bowl winner comes from this group and I would guess at least 3 will surprise and make the playoffs.

Somebody Help These Guys Out...


My next group are the teams that need improvement. Besides the obvious this is the group of teams that had a bad/tough season last year and while they have reasons to be optimistic, there is nothing to indicate that they can make the playoffs or Super Bowl.

Preseason NFL Power Rankings

Football season is upon us!  As such, it has been brought to my attention that my football posts have been lacking recently, of which I agree. I have decided to rectify this situation with one of my most ambitious posts yet…


As one of my most ambitious posts ever I am going to attempt to rank all 32 NFL teams 1-32. I have always been one to voice my opinion on what teams are the best or who I think will win the Super Bowl, but never actually sat down and ranked them all one by one. Finally, here it is. Keep in mind how epic this is, this is my white whale. Please let me know how bad my ranking is…

Let’s go from worst to first, cause it’s more fun that way. We’ll start with the group of teams that I have termed as “can’t be helped.” These teams are coming off an atrocious debacle of a season and there is very little to no hope coming in the next season or two.
