NFL Power Rankings – Preseason

Here is our first edition of the Odds to Win the Super Bowl Power Ranking. We generally order the teams with the best odds to win the Super Bowl but we’ll show you which teams have good value and which teams where you are wasting your money.  In our preseason Super Bowl Odds preseason rankings, we’ll leave the teams in order of odds to win the Super Bowl.

Indianapolis Colts             8/1

The Indianapolis Colts are robots; they go out and win regular season games easily. Look for Pierre Garcon to take away some of Reggie Wayne’s Fantasy Football Points.

San Diego Chargers         9/1

If you read my other blog posts on the Chargers, you’ll know I think they fall and fall hard this season. I like Philip Rivers but there is too much turmoil surrounding the team to challenge the heavyweights of the NFL.

Dallas Cowboys                 9/1

The Cowboys are the darlings of the NFC and while they will be good, it won’t be a cakewalk to win the NFC East let alone the NFC or the Super Bowl.  (I have Tony Romo as my fantasy QB starter so I hope I’m wrong)

New Orleans Saints         9/1

The offense is still ridiculous but the defense didn’t get better and it will be interesting to see if they can still force turnovers and play that opportunistic D that won it all for them last season.

Minnesota Vikings           10/1

SELL SELL SELL – Favre is hurting and I think after week one he’ll be regretting his decision to come back. They have the talent to go 10-6 even with a bad Favre but they could just as easily go 6-10.

Baltimore Ravens             10/1

They need a cornerback but the rest of the team looks phenomenal. They will be a much meaner version of the Saints.

Green Bay Packers          10/1

Did we say Video Game offense already? The defense has some questions but Dom Capers will have those answered in a couple weeks.

New England Patriots    12/1

The Patriots are being discounted because of the Jets hype but they are still the team to beat in the AFC East. Randy Moss contract years = tons of fantasy points.

New York Jets                   12/1

They have a lot of great skill players but I’m not sold on them being a team. If you talk to any Jets fan, it sounds like they went 15-1 last season and not 9-7.

Philadelphia Eagles          20/1

Both Kolb and Vick have looked horrible so far in the preseason. If that doesn’t change, Philly fans will be longing for Donovan McNabb.

Pittsburgh Steelers         20/1

Ben Roethlisberger is meeting with Roger Goodell Friday morning. His suspension will be cut to four games is a foregone conclusion. The trouble with that is the Steelers could be down 1-3 on the season.

New York Giants              25/1

I keep going back and forth on the Giants, one minute I love them and the next. That means they’ll be 8-8.

Atlanta Falcons                 25/1

The Falcons look like a solid pick, they over performed in 2008, which set up too high expectations in 2009, they underperformed so they are being discounted in 2010. Take the value.

San Francisco 49ers         25/1

They will win the NFC West, if they were in the any other division they would be a second or third place team at best.

Cincinnati Bengals            25/1

Everyone sees the Batman and Robin show as the main attraction but this Bengals team is solid from top to bottom.

Tennessee Titans             30/1

Jeff Fishers teams always finish strong; if they start strong, they will challenge the Colts in the AFC South.

Miami Dolphins                 30/1

Like the Giants, I’m back and forth on the Dolphins. The running game will be great but a lot of critics are worried about Brandon Marshall, I’m starting to believe them.

Chicago Bears                    30/1

The Bears added Julius Peppers and that’s bad news for the quarterbacks in the NFC North.

Houston Texans               30/1

Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson is a fantastic combo and if you are playing Fantasy Football, take them both. The rest of the team doesn’t have enough to win more than eight games.

Washington Redskins    35/1

If they can clear up the bitterness between Albert Haynesworth and Coach Mike Shanahan they have enough talent, albeit older talent, to surprise many teams.

Arizona Cardinals             40/1

It took three players to fly to Mississippi to convince Brett Favre to comeback, if I’m Coach Ken Whisenhunt, I’m sending 45 to Kurt Warner’s house and beg him to come back.

Carolina Panthers            50/1

John Fox is a hell of a coach and the Panthers are a solid sleeper choice.

Denver Broncos                50/1

I like Kyle Orton and I trust Josh McDaniel, they won’t be as bad as people expect.

Jacksonville Jaguars        60/1

They are the Toronto Blue Jays of the NFL, if they were in the AFC or NFC West, they would win the division. The AFC South, not so much.

Seattle Seahawks            60/1

Pete Carroll is a good college coach but he’s begins his second NFL stint with the least talented team in the league.

Cleveland Browns            100/1

Josh Cribbs will be awesome to watch this season, the rest of the Browns…meh.

Oakland Raiders               100/1

The Raider defense is decent and if Michael Bush can get enough touches, the Raiders should challenge for the middle of the AFC West.

Kansas City Chiefs            100/1

I like KC so I’m bias here. They can field a good team but they lack depth at all positions to have any staying power.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers                  150/1

If I’m starting a “coaches to be fired” list, Raheem Morris is first on my list. Fingers crossed he doesn’t screw up Josh Freeman.

Buffalo Bills         150/1

Their running game will be nice. C.J. Spiller is a rookie of the year candidate. The rest of the offense will be the opposite of nice.

Detroit Lions      150/1

The Lions will surprise some teams; they will gain a little bit more respectability this year. Suh looks like Warren Sapp in his prime.

St Louis Rams    200/1

This team has been so horribly run in the last few years; Sam Bradford won’t be enough to keep the stink off this team.
