Patroits ·
1
With all the off-season additions to the roster, The Patroits are the team to beat at this point. Tom Brady should injoy a better year with a willing receiver in Randy Moss.
2
Chargers ·
2
With all the turmoil surrounding the coaching staff this off-season. Chemistry will be a big issue heading into the season.
3
Colts ·
3
Seems to be a team that knows that their offense is what works for them, drafting WR Anthony Gonzales in the first round gives Manning the perfect slot receiver.
4
Broncos ·
4
With a stout defense and a new backfield mate in Travis Herny, Culter could keep the Broncos in the hunt.
5
Bears ·
5
The loss of Thomas Jones might be bigger then most in the front office think. Grossman needs to show more cons
6
Ravens ·
6
The addition of Willis Mcgahee will help the running game, But how much is left in the tank for Steve McNair
7
Saints ·

The Saints biggest weakness in the playoffs was pass defense. They Signed David Macklin and drafted Usma Young to help in that area.They will field an explosive offensive unit again this year

With McNabb starting the Eagles have a chance every sunday. Now only if they can get steady widereceiver play

Jaguars ·

Fat Albert is the starter for now but hasnt played a full season since entering the league. Del Rio is on the hot seat this season. Make or Break time for this head coach.

Seahawks ·
13
Injuries and age could hurt this team if Alexander should go down again. Need to find a way to repair an offensive line that was once one of the best a few years ago
14
Jets ·

Thomas Jones should be the workhorse for the Jets this season. The big problem could be if Chad Pennington goes down with an injury.
15
49ers ·
15
Alex Smith took some huge steps last season, While Frank Gore took the league by suprise, Now if their defense can just match what the offense did last season they could be in the playoff hunt this season
16
Giants ·
16
Tiki Barber hung his cleats up, and the Giants released strating left tackle, with no running game and a below average offensive line Manning will be asked to step up big time.
17
Rams ·
17
Steven Jackson is an all around back, while Bulger is a decent QB, now they hope the defense can just be average.
18
Falcons ·
18
Injuries are all ready starting to mount even before the first snap of training camp. Mike Vick could be lost to either jail time or a league suspension for dog fighting. It could be a long year for Falcon fans.

Every year it is the same thing with the Cardinals, now lets see if a new Head Coach can turn thing around for the Bidwells.

Vince Young made people stand up and take notice last season, now lets see what he does this season with no receivers to throw to and no Travis Henry to hand off to.
23
Packers ·

Lord Favre could be in for a long year. Packers will either be running back by committy or not run the football at all.
24
Dolphins ·
24
John Beck, Culpeper, Trent Green, Cleo Lemon who will be under center come opening day that is the question?
25
Buccaneers ·

Chiefs ·

Ofensive line needed major help to fill a number of holes and did not receive the attention it needed to help Larry Johnson and the ground game.
27
Lions ·
27
Need defensive help all over the that side of the football, but drafted another widereceiver in the first round, unless the offense score 45 points a game this team is going no where
28
Redskins ·
28
Needed help on the defensive line and drafted a safety, wont go anywhere if they can stop the run or get after the QB
29
Vikings ·
29
Tarvaris Jackson needs to show he can be an NFL qb, or this team is in for a long year. With no real backup on the roster the Vikings are one injury away from a top 3 pick next year.
30
Texans ·
30
.The team invested heavy in Schaub, but fails to get the big picture. Needs to be able to protect the QB

Raiders ·

Defense showed up last season, now only if they can find an offense that will show up this season

Browns

Rookie QB, Rookie LT and an old Jamal Lewis should be an exciting year for the Browns
