What up! The start of the 2008 NFL season is just weeks away and our buddy James over at NEPatriotsDraft.com was kind enough to ask us if we wanted to participate in a weekly-blog-collaboration-ranking-system-thingy and of course we accepted!We may be huge NBA fans and have our own blog in that biz, but we have had many, and I mean many thoughts on starting our own NFL blog because of our love affair with it.
Our guess-timation of the rankings along with a few others will be pulled together by James and posted on his blog in one big NFL ranking pot. He asked that we give reasoning for one team each week as to why we put them in their particular spot. Once he's done his first rankings, we'll give you a link!
Here we go...
- Jacksonville Jaguars*
- New England Patriots
- Indianapolis Cults
- Dallas Cowboys
- San Diego Chargers
- Pittsburgh Steelers
- New York Giants
- New Orleans Saints
- Cleveland Browns
- Seattle Seahawks

I promise in the next list that I'll actually give a legitimate reason.

Seems like the only legitimate reason one could think of...
Pretty much. :)
You've got the Browns too high. They face 9 teams with winning records from last season. Last year, they only beat 1 team with a winning record (Seattle), and they only had a 20-something point win margin all season. (Only 2 teams with double digit wins had such a small win margin; most were over 100.) The Browns played a lot of close games against bad teams and got lucky most of the time (Remember the field goal-review controversy vs. Baltimore?) We're going to underpreform.
I basically went with the top 8 teams in the NFL as being elite or very good, and everyone else is in a mixed pot of crap.
From 9-25, those teams could all beat each other on any given day.
