Here are the final preseason Top Ten power rankings:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Green Bay Packers<\/strong> \u2013 No reason to downgrade the champs as they get multiple players back from injury.<\/li>\n
  2. Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong> \u2013 the Steelers had a quiet offseason compared to the last few years and should be a major player in the AFC race.<\/li>\n
  3. New York Jets<\/strong> \u2013 the Jets need to find a way to play \u00a0a few playoff games at home.<\/li>\n
  4. New England Patriots<\/strong> \u2013 hard to say what the Pats will get from the big-name players they added, but they went 14-2 without them last year, so this is going to be a dangerous team no matter what.<\/li>\n
  5. Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong> \u2013 their ability to protect the quarterback will determine how high the Eagles fly this year.<\/li>\n
  6. Atlanta Falcons<\/strong> \u2013 Julio Jones will help Roddy White, but the running game might be the biggest beneficiary from the added threat on the outside.<\/li>\n
  7. Baltimore Ravens<\/strong> \u2013 The Ravens will be solid again, but it looks like they\u2019re still a step off the pace of the elite AFC teams.<\/li>\n
  8. New Orleans Saints<\/strong> \u2013 The Saints are probably the least talked about NFC contender.\u00a0 If they pay more attention to effectively running the ball, they will become fashionable again.<\/li>\n
  9. San Diego Chargers<\/strong> \u2013 the Bolts start out with three home games in the first four weeks.\u00a0 They need to play well in September for a change.\u00a0 There are no excuses.<\/li>\n
  10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong> \u2013 A quick start is possible as five out their first seven games are in Tampa. The Bucs have to do better than 4-4 at home this year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
