55. . . . Pittsburgh Steelers. 8. team

If the Steelers get a healthy Ben Roethlisberger, they could be a threat to the Baltimore Ravens and contend for another Super Bowl.

team. 54. . . . Philadelphia Eagles. 7

They can’t be hurt like they were in 2019, right? If the Eagles have good health and add a receiver in the draft, they could be the class of the NFC.

Green Bay Packers. 6. team. 49. . .

Green Bay has a few things going for it. One, Aaron Rodgers and Matt LaFleur. Two, Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith. Three, the NFC North got worse.

36. . . . Seattle Seahawks. 5. team

Seattle is going to be a contender all year long. Don’t forget, this team was an inch away from winning the NFC West last year and has Russell Wilson.

team. 42. . . . San Francisco 49ers. 4

San Francisco lost Emmanuel Sanders and DeForest Buckner, but the roster remains very strong. It’s important they replenish with a good draft.

New Orleans Saints. 3. team. 15. . .

The Saints are essentially running it back but with Emmanuel Sanders. Love the roster. Only concern is Drew Brees getting much older.

26. . . . Baltimore Ravens. 2. team

The Ravens might have the best all-around roster in the game. If Lamar Jackson takes a half-step further in the passing game, the Ravens may be the favorite to upend the Kansas City Chiefs.

. . . Kansas City Chiefs. 1. team. 124

Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, and the Chiefs are bringing back the entire Super Bowl-winning roster. Kansas City is the clear favorite.
