. Pittsburgh Steelers. 8. team. 55. Much like the Chiefs, the Steelers are relying on a potent offense to overcome a shoddy defense. The big difference? Big-game experience and a known quantity in Ben Roethlisberger..

. Green Bay Packers. 7. team. 49. The Packers don’t have one of the league’s better rosters, but Aaron Rodgers forces them into the top 10. If Rodgers stays upright, the Packers are a threat in every game..

. New England Patriots. 6. team. 47. It was a rough offseason in New England, but the Patriots have to be considered the class of the AFC until somebody finally knocks them off their perch..

5. team. 51. This either ends up with the Rams going 14-2 and in the Super Bowl, or with a team-wide fist fight in the locker room. Either way, this will be incredibly entertaining.. . . Los Angeles Rams

team. 44. Atlanta gets overlooked by so many, but its roster is teeming with talent. Calvin Ridley could be the Offensive Rookie of the Year, and the defense is the league’s fastest.. . . Atlanta Falcons. 4

15. If not for the Minnesapolis Miracle, the Saints would have been favored in the NFC Championship Game in January. This might still be the league’s best team.. . . New Orleans Saints. 3. team

Minnesota Vikings. 2. team. 60. Minnesota is loaded. The Vikings fixed the quarterback situation with Kirk Cousins, added Sheldon Richardson to an already great defensive line, and get Dalvin Cook back. They’ll be tough to stop.. .

. . Philadelphia Eagles. 1. team. 54. The Eagles are the champs, and they added Michael Bennett to their obscene pass rush. If Carson Wentz is healthy, he’s once more an MVP candidate.
