Preseason NFL Power Rankings

With less than two weeks until opening night of the 2012-2013 NFL season, it's power ranking time!

Even though the New York football Giants come into this season as the defending Super Bowl Champions, it doesn't make them my automatic number one team.  With questions on both side of the ball, and with their fluctuating regular season history, they fall to number five.

Many teams moved up and down the board since the end of last season.  Teams like the Texans, Eagles, and Redskins all make significant jumps from last year as teams like the Steelers, Saints, and Jets take dives down.

Draft results, free agent signings, trades, history, and potential were all factors that went into making these rankings.

Here are my preseason power rankings for all 32 teams in the NFL.  Check back every Tuesday during the regular season for updated rankings.
