Power Rankings

Now that most teams have played at least three preseason games, it's time to give our final preseason edition of the Battle Red Nation Rankings.

1. New England Patriots- Previous ranking: (1)

If Brady's shoulder injury isn't severe, the Pats have an unstoppable offense.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. San Diego Chargers- Previous ranking: (3)

Chargers appear to be about as solid as anyone. Rivers will earn his money again this year, Vincent Jackson could break out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. New York Giants- Previous ranking: (5)

Defensive line is amongst the best in the game, but they need a wide receiver to step up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Green Bay Packers- Previous ranking: (21)

I'm a believer in Aaron Rodgers and all of those offensive weapons. B.J. Raji will help with the 3-4 transition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Tennessee Titans- Previous ranking: (10)

If Nate Washington is okay, the Titans will finally have their big play threat on the outside. That's the only thing that's missing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. Pittsburgh Steelers- Previous ranking: (4)

Offensive line will be a major concern. If Ben goes down, they may not make the playoffs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. Philadelphia Eagles- Previous ranking: (2)

Ultra talented, but lots of distractions and injuries.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. Baltimore Ravens- Previous ranking: (16)

Defense is still excellent, need a receiver to step up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Indianapolis Colts- Previous ranking: (7)

If Bob Sanders can stay (get) healthy, they can compete with anyone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. New Orleans Saints- Previous ranking: (11)

Offense is spectacular, defense should be good enough to get them a home playoff game.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Minnesota Vikings- Previous ranking: (6)

Lots of pressure on Favre to take this team to the promised land. Expect a slow start offensively.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. Houston Texans- Previous ranking: (8)

Defensive line must put pressure on the passer being that the secondary could be a major weakness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

13. Buffalo Bills- Previous ranking: (13)

Trent Edwards can play and he has weapons. Now can he stay healthy?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14. Atlanta Falcons- Previous ranking: (17)

Matt Ryan is special, not so sure about the defense.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15. Seattle Seahawks- Previous ranking (12)

Lots of offensive line issues, but a healthy Hasselbeck can win a lot of games. How long will he stay healthy?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

16. Dallas Cowboys- Previous ranking: (19)

If they stick to a run the ball, play good defense philosophy, they can win plenty of games. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17. Chicago Bears- Previous ranking: (9)

Quarterback is finally not a problem. Unfortunately the defense is more bark than bite.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

18. Carolina Panthers- Previous ranking: (14)

The hitched their wagons to the wrong quarterback.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

19. Cincinnati Bengals- Previous ranking: (15)

Lots of talent if Palmer can stay healthy. Defense is better than most think.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

20.Arizona Cardinals- Previous ranking: (18)

Super Bowl hangover coming to town near you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

21. New York Jets- Previous ranking: (23)

Good offensive line, excellent running game. Only question will be with the rookie quarterback.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

22. Kansas City Chiefs- Previous ranking: (22)

Larry Johnson may have a bounce back season. Offensive line is still bad.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23. Miami Dolphins- Previous ranking: (20)

Just a matter of time until they switch to Chad Henne.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

24. Oakland Raiders- Previous ranking: (25)

A good amount of talent around him if Jamarcus Russell can get the job done.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

25. Washington Redskins- Previous ranking: (28)

Jason Campbell isn't terrible, the defensive line is pretty good. They just play in the wrong division.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

26. Jacksonville Jaguars- Previous ranking: (24)

Worst set of quarterbacks in the NFL in terms of depth. Jones-Drew will win them a few games at least.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

27. San Francisco 49ers- Previous ranking: (30)

Lots of pretty good individual pieces, not a very good team.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

28. Cleveland Browns- Previous ranking: (26)

Shaun Rogers and Joe Thomas are good. Can't say much for the rest of the team.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

29. Detroit Lions- Previous ranking: (29)

Lots of talent at the skill positions. Not a lot of talent in up front on both sides of the ball.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Previous ranking: (27)

Bucs will struggle to win one or two games with their schedule.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

31. St. Louis Rams- Previous ranking: (32)

Steven Jackson and O.J. Atogwe are great. Everything else isn't.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

32. Denver Broncos- Previous ranking: (31)

Quite possibly the worst offseason in the history of the NFL.
