I think it's Tom Brady's - er, New England's - turn now at the top end. Of course, Denver is at the bottom.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Pro Bowls are out on this one, it's the body of franchise work.

To that end, Pitt UP/NE out.

[Mile High Mania]

NE is out and in this heat, I would go Pit.

[KC_Lee]

Pro Bowls are out on this one, it's the body of franchise work.

To that end, Pitt UP/NE out.

I agree but Pitt Up / SD Out.

[Rain Man]

Wow, I kind of figured that New England would be a shoo-in here.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Wow, I kind of figured that New England would be a shoo-in here.

You figurd' wrong, patna'.

[RedandGold]

Wow, I kind of figured that New England would be a shoo-in here.

They should be based upon Brady being better than the field. After that, I'd go with Denver at #2, San Diego at #3, and Pittsburgh bringing up the rear.
