Still the team to beat. Fast. Very Fast.
2.) Washington Redskins
Most improved team in the NFL
3.) Tennessee Titans
Proved they were better than JAX
4.) Jacksonville Jaguars
If they can ever figure out how to stop Tenn...
5.) Tampa Bay Bucs
Can Keyshawn help them put enough points on the board?
6.) Buffalo Bills
One forward lateral away last year..
7.) New York Jets
Did they miss their window when Vinnie went down last year?
8.) Minnesota Vikings
Lots of talent, lots of question marks.
9.) Green Bay Packers
Still rather have Farve than any other QB.
10.) Denver Broncos
If Terrell Davis comes back 100%...
11.) Atlanta Falcons
Were Jamal and the dirty birds a one hit wonder?
12.) New England Patriots
Bledsoe is so up and down, iffy chemistry.
13.) Dallas Cowboys
Definitely on the way down. Do they have one more competitive year?
14.) Kansas City Chiefs
Haven't won a playoff game since 1994
15.) Oakland Raiders
Could be underrated at 15, disappointed me the last 2 years.
16.) SanFransico 49ers
First time in an almost 2 decades w/out a hall of fame QB.
17.) Seattle Seahawks
Holmgren will need a miracle to win the West again.
18.) Baltimore Ravens
They'll be better, but not quite good enough.
19.) Detroit Lions
8-8 last year, no better than mediocre this year.
20.) New York Giants
May get it just above the Mendoza line, but don't hold your breath.
21.) Carolina Panthers
Another team mired in mediocrity, soft division should help.
22.) Miami Dolphins
Looked on the verge of self destruction at the end of '99.
23.) Chicago Bears
McNabb will pass for allot of yards, the bears won't win more than 8
24.) SanDiego Chargers
Don't look as good as the '99 8-8 team
25.) Pittsburg Steelers
Playing in the Central almost assures them of 5 losses in the division.
26.) Philadelphia Eagles
Almost anything would be an improvement over the '99 performance
27.) Arizona Cardnials
Is this team cursed?
28.) Cincinnati Bengals
See Arizona Cardinals comment.
29.) New Orleans Saints
Ricky Williams will play better; the Saints won't win many.
30.) Cleveland Browns
It doesn't look as if they can repeat the early success of the most recent expansion teams.
