Well, It's That Time Of Year... Pre-Seson Power Rankings

[Scooby-Doo]

Here's a couple that came out today. Never have been a fan of pre-season power rankings, but not much else to talk about with training camps getting under way.

That second one was Bleacher Report. Don't know why it is coming up as media.

Google it

Translation: Look who's number 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably about right for the Chiefs for now. They're probably going to get noticeably better as the year goes along. They have a pretty significant amount of insulation (RB depth) considering how much of their offense is an offshoot of how well their running game is doing. If they can sneak into the week 5 bye with a 3-1 or even 4-0 record, they're in real good shape, imo. 2-2 or worse and it's time to worry some.

Not the Ravens

Not the Ravens

I would seriously question anything that had the Ravens anywhere near #1

I would say most people have them contending for a playoff birth.

Not so sure, but if so...it's only because their schedule is so favorable.

The Ravens probably have some of the longer lists of possible outcomes this upcoming season. Could see them winning 6 games or having double digit wins depends on how things shake out.

The Chiefs are one of those weird teams that I could see winning 12 games but I wouldn't be shocked if they only won 8 or 9. They are tough to figure out.

The Bleacher report has the Eagles way too high IMO. I see a 6-10 type of season. But, you never know in the NFC East. Could turn out to be 10-6 if everything goes right.

How in gods green earth is the Vikings ranked 7th.

The fact that they have the Chargers below the Browns makes me question their credibility.

Believe me... I've been putting way too many hours into trying to figure this team out since Reid and friends came over. They are nothing if not weird.

How in gods green earth is the Vikings ranked 7th.

Matt Miller has a perennial fetish for Teddy Bridgewater, I swear. Biggest Vikings truther on the internet.

 

[BloodType49]

wow they aren't very high on the 49ers it seems
