Top 5:

1. Pittsburgh Steelers
2. New England Patriots
3. New York Giants
4. Philadelphia Eagles
5. San Diego Chargers

You guys think your team is underranked or overranked?

Im a huge Giants fan, and even I think both the Giants and Eagles were over ranked. I'd put Giants more in the 7-9 rang,e and Eagles 8-10. I just think the Eagles don't have good enough receivers, lack a TE, and lost key players on defense.

Not sure what Clayton is hearing, saying Giants have concerns on D, they upgraded their D a lot in the offseason. Its the receivers the Giants and the fans are worried about.

I would put my G-men at #5. Everyone is making a HUGE deal about our WR corps, I think we'll be fine. We have a lot of depth and this year we will sift through that depth to see who are the big targets. Pats and Steelers are the class of the league.

not surprised the Panthers dropped, I would've expected them to drop a bit more due to their horrific pre-season

preseason means nothing. I think the Lions has like a 3-1 or a 4-0 preseason last year. And we all know how that turned out.

Jets are a little low, but that's expected with a rookie quarterback and head coach. Hopefully they'll prove em wrong.

Cards out of the top 10 is pretty ridiculous IMO.

The Cardinals were a 9-7 team last year; I personally don't even think they'll win their division.

I think the Browns will finish like 22-24th in the NFL this season, but I'm not gonna complain about rankings when we're not gonna finish that much better anyway.

They were a superbowl team last year. Did they really lose that much to not be ranked in the top 10 of the preseason power rankings?

They had a great run to the Super Bowl, I just don't think they can repeat it. Like I said they were a 9-7 team last year, and I think their division as a whole is stronger than it was a year ago. I think the Seahawks are taking the NFC West tbh.

I think Seattle has a good shot too. Idk, it's just more of a respect thing to me. To win the NFC and not really downgrade anywhere and to not be in the top 10 of the preseason power rankings?

the best team doesn't get to the superbowl every year.

right, because 2 teams go to the super bowl and it's impossible for both teams to be the best team ;)

And its more to the fact that they have no run game and a weak defense, and at the same time others around them improved.

And, their schedule is more than likely more difficult than last year.
