1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0New York Giants<\/strong> \u2013 The champs get the top spot.\u00a0 Staying healthy at the skill positions is going to be the key for Big Blue.\u00a0 The pass rush will dictate the game against the Cowboys in the opener on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Green Bay Packers<\/strong> \u2013 Cedric Benson will help on those rare occasions when they do run it.\u00a0 Week one is a likely NFC Championship preview with the Niners coming to town.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0New England Patriots<\/strong> \u2013 the offensive line is a concern, but the defense should be better.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Brandon Lloyd will provide the deep threat they missed last year.\u00a0 Week one in Music City shouldn\u2019t be a problem.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Houston Texans<\/strong> \u2013 If Matt Schaub can stay on the field, the Texans could be home for the playoffs.\u00a0 They are 1-0 already with the Fish on their way to Houston for week one.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0San Francisco 49ers<\/strong> \u2013 The Niners are gambling that Randy Moss will care enough to be the deep threat they sorely lack.\u00a0 The Niners should feast on their division and compete for home field advantage.\u00a0 They will start out 0-1 though after the opener in Green Bay.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong> \u2013 The Birds have to have learned something after such a disappointing season last year.\u00a0 Vick\u2019s durability is always a concern, but the talent level is still high on both sides of the ball.\u00a0 They get a soft road opener in Cleveland week one.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Atlanta Falcons<\/strong> \u2013 The Falcons schedule should help them improve on a ten-win season in 2011.\u00a0 With a year under his belt, Julio Jones will continue to open things up for Roddy White and Michael Turner.\u00a0 The Falcons have tricky opener in Kanas City, but should be a contender throughout.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Baltimore Ravens<\/strong> \u2013 Losing Terrell Suggs is huge, but the Ravens still have bullets left on an aging defense.\u00a0 Changes on the offensive line could hurt the run game.\u00a0 Joe Flacco still needs to take a big step forward for this team to reach the big game.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong> \u2013 The primary ball carrier is a mystery, but this team has been a pass-first bunch for a couple of years now.\u00a0 They are still strong on defense despite what Tebow did to them in the playoffs.\u00a0 If the offensive line can improve, the Steelers will contend again.\u00a0 They get to avenge last season\u2019s playoff loss with a trip to Denver in week one.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Chicago Bears<\/strong> \u2013 The Bears finally got Cutler a stud at WR.\u00a0 He couldn\u2019t be happier with Brandon Marshall back on his side.\u00a0 If they can block just a little bit, the Bears will make a major run.\u00a0 The schedule is brutal, but week one has the Colts in town, which should mean a good start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
