1. Buccaneers
Last years Champs, however i dont expect them to repeat. But at the begining of this season they are the best team. Sapp, Rice, Brooks, and Lynch are just a few of the stars on there defense.
2. Raiders
As a Jets fan I hate to say it but they diserve it, even though this team is getting very old and I dont expect them to make another super bowl run this year, they are definitly in the top 5 once again this season.
3. Eagles
Mcnabb is back heathy and even though the loss of hugh douglas will be a big blow, they are still a very good football team. there is some added competition in the 2003 NFC east so it will be a little harder for them this year.
4. Dolphins
Ricky finally has his career on the right track and I expect nothing less from him this year then a pro bowl year. Also the dolphins defense just keeps on getting better. Miamis defense is lethal, but can fiedler or Dave W finally win the big game?
5. Jets
The loss of coles and thomas will hurt, but the Jets have replaced those positions with Conway and Nutten. The Jets will be going into the 2003 season with an improved Defense and the most impressive Dline. and theres always Chad Pennington.
6. Steelers
Everyone seems to be improving in the AFC North but the Steelers are still the best. The big question will be if Tommy Maddux can have the same success this year.
7. Falcons
Vick to Price will be a familar phrase this year. I expect this team to make some noise. Micheal Vick is the real deal.
8. Titans
Mcnair is great and he will carry this team to its success. George ans Kearse need to have a bigger year then last year for this team to be dangerous.
9. Packers
It seems all this team needs is Brett Favre. But does last years late season collapse mean somthing. A healthy Ahman Green and Rookie LB Barnett will help
10. Patriots
3 AFC East teams in the top 10? and this team is just as good as the other 2 ranked above them. Offseason additions of Harrison and Colvin will help make this defense better then it already was. Brady needs to step up more then he did last year.
11. Saints
Arron, Duece, and Horn provide this offense with a force but will problems in the clubhouse and last seasons collapse come back to haunt them?
12. Rams
After a depressing season last year the addition of Jimmy kennedy should help out the defense and they still got the amazing offense. There is no reason that the Rams will not be super bowl contenders once again.
13. 49ers
The offense is amazing but they did nothing at the draft to improve the defense, this team needs defense if they want to be serious contenders.
14. Chiefs
Another team in need of defense, and another team who wasted there draft pick on a RB insted of defense. 2 words Preist holmes. everyones number one fantasy player
15. Bills
Now heres a smart team, they needed defense and they got defense. They got some great young corners and spikes thrown in there with fletcher is very dangerous. The loss of price will hurt though.
16. Colts
After getting spanked by the Jets this team will want to get back on the field and prove they are still a great team. James must have a better year then last year or else they might not be playoff contenders next year
17. Seahawks
18. Giants
19. Broncos
20. Vikings
21. Redskins
22. Ravens
23. Chargers
24. Browns
25. Panthers
26. Lions
27. Jaguars
28. Cowboys
29. Bengals
30. Bears
31. Texans
32. Cardinals
