ESPN actually moving the Skins up to 19 was pretty shocking I was expecting something worse knowing them.

I know most of you hate rankings and I also think they are pointless in May but im bored so here ya go....

1 Steelers - On top until someone knocks them off.
2 Cardinals - I cant wait to see how they mix Chris Wells in with that offense.
3 Patriots - Brady is back and the Pats are recharged for another SB run.
4 Eagles - Alot of talent but will they choke come playoff time yet again?
5 Colts - The Donald Brown & Joseph Addai situation should be fun to watch.
6 Titans - Even with the loss of Haynesworth they still have a very good team.
7 Bears - The one-two punch of Forte and Cutler should lead to more TDs in 2009.
8 Falcons - The addition of Tony G will make Matt Ryan even more dangerous.
9 Saints - Gregg Williams will be the key to how good the Saints will be.
10 Chargers - A team with a ton of talent but can they get to where they need to be?
11 Cowboys - A new running game approach with no TO should lead to a better offense overall in 2009.
12 Ravens - Will be interesting to see how much better Flacco can be with a year under his belt.
13 Redskins - If Campbell and the offense can score 20 ppg they will be tough to beat.
14 Giants - The losses of Ward and Burress dropped the Giants on my rankings. If rookies like Andre Brown and Hakeem Nicks step up they will be alot better than 14.
15 Vikings - I think Sage will put up good numbers but will he get the chance with Brett Favre on the way? Favre in Minny makes the Vikings a top 5 team.
16 Panthers - After Delhomme's terrible playoff game vs the Cards its hard for me to put the Panthers any higher than this.
17 Bills - Could be fun to watch with TO, Evans, Lynch, and rookie Shawn Nelson.
18 Texans - If the Texans can finally get over the hump they could be a playoff team in 2009.
19 49ers - Mike Singletary will continue to improve this team and shape them up to be winners.
20 Seahawks - The Hawks still have pieces but at the sametime too many question marks.
21 Packers - The new 3-4 defense will make it hard for the Packers this year.
22 Dolphins - Their Schedule is tough and teams know all about the Wildcat this year.
23 Jags - Solid team with too many holes. Del Rio is on the hot seat.
24 Bengals - I like the Bengals as a sleeper if the defense plays up to the level that they can. Palmer has to stay healthy.
25 Raiders - Young talent on offense and a very good defense. Probably a year away.
26 Broncos - The offense may actually still be pretty good but the defense is terrible and adjusting to a 3-4.
27 Chiefs - Too many question marks and the loss of Tony G will hurt.
28 Jets - I see the late collapse from 2008 continuing in 2009.
29 Bucs - A team that is a shell of its former self.
30 Browns - Solid draft but this team has alot of problems and a terrible Head Coach.
31 Rams - Lucky to be ranked at 31.
32 Lions - They have to win a game before I can even consider moving them up.
