NFL Preseason Rankings

The NFL season starts tomorrow, and after analyzing all of the roster changes since the end of last season, as well as this season's full schedule, I've got my rankings and playoff predictions for the upcoming season completed. The Patriots will once again be one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl, along with the defending champs from Philadelphia, but Green Bay and Indianapolis are looking good because of quarterbacks returning from injury, and the Jets have made good additions to their running backs and receivers to help rookie QB Sam Darnold. Here are my full preseason rankings:
