I went with 12 because that's the number of playoff teams but don't feel obligated to list an equal number from each conference or include all divisions. For me:

1. Patriots - Brady looks rediculous
2. Packers - Rodgers looks almost as rediculous

leaving a space here because those 2 stand apart, at least for the moment

3. Ravens - Dismantling the Steelers was impressive
4. Eagles - Offense can be scary
5. Saints - I'm not going to drop them just because they lost to the Packers
6. Chargers - Easy division, easy road to the playoffs
7. Falcons - Ugly start, but they'll recover, even if they have to wait until week 3
8. Steelers - Hard to say how good the D will be. Older but still talented. O-Line in trouble
9. Jets - Not a Sanchez fan, but it's hard to count them out with that D
10. Texans - No more Manning, time to finally win that division (maybe)
11. Lions - If Stafford stays healthy they could be a wild-card team
12. Bears - I've got them here because they beat Atlanta, but the next 2 weeks could be brutal (Saints then Packers)

I'm being a bit safe here by listing playoff teams from last year in the top 9 (except Chargers, but who doesn't expect them to win the AFC West)
