Eric,
Here are my power rankings.
1. Patriots 11-5
Bill Belichick and Tom Brady together again. Also, Randy Moss along with some other guys who want a ring; Joey Galloway and Laurence Maroney. Coaching is top notch here, no one messes with Coach Belichick's game preparation. They won with so and so before and they'll win with the same team concept again this year. Also, 11 wins with out Brady is also very impressive.
2. Vikings 11-5
Defense is the key to this vehicle. Though, the keys may be evening up with Adrian Peterson playing well again, splitting a little bit of time with Chester Taylor. If they improve their special teams, which were terrible last year, they will improve as a team by a half click. Brett Favre brings plenty of experience though they'll have to keep him very healthy and protected. It'll be fun to watch Peterson, Harvin, Allen and Winfield.
3. Packers 10-6
Rodgers is back and will have much better stats than Favre. Greg Jennings and the reciever core will be great to watch. Watch out for Ryan Grant but let's hold our breath on the offensive line. Hopefully the transition of the defense from the 4-3 to the 3-4 is smooth. BJ Raji looks to be a monster in the middle, hopefully Aaron Kampman can capitalize and the linebackers can make plays and the secondary is solid. They were a sieve last season so let's hope Woodson, Harris and the guys back there play well.

i'm still a packer backer. not going to follow brett everywhere!
That was a bet eric and I had. I told him you were a vikings fan and he did not agree. :)
I have lots of opinions. Eric-why are the Packers and Vikes even "rivals?"
I love the Packers. Favre has been very important in my life-he's served years as passwords for things.
I love the Packers. I enjoy the Vikes, hope they do well, have had very fun teams to watch. Win 'em all Vikes-except against the Packers.
