Tom’s Top 10
1. Green Bay Packers: Even with Jordy Nelson hurt, it’s foolish to bet against Aaron Rodgers.
2. Seattle Seahawks: Top to bottom, they might have the best roster in the NFL.
3. New England Patriots: They’re contenders as long as Tom Brady and Bill Belichick stay.
4. Baltimore Ravens: The program is sound and the defensive talent is underrated.
5. Philadelphia Eagles: If Sam Bradford’s strong preseason carries over, they’ll be dangerous.
6. Indianapolis Colts: Will difference-makers emerge on defense to take the heat off Andrew Luck?
7. Denver Broncos: Gary Kubiak easily faces the highest expectations of any new coach.
8. Pittsburgh Steelers: It would be a win to split the two games Le’Veon Bell is suspended.
9. Minnesota Vikings: Can Adrian Peterson help Teddy Bridgewater avoid a sophomore slump?
10. St. Louis Rams: Finally, a quarterback to go with that intimidating front on defense.
