Rk Teams ... 1 Seahawks ... 32 Dolphins

2026 NFL Power Rankings Week 2 ... #32 Miami Dolphins ... #1 Baltimore Ravens
#10 Baltimore Ravens ... #9 Minnesota Vikings ... #8 Los Angeles Rams ... #7 San Francisco 49ers ... #6 Jacksonville Jaguars ... #5 Buffalo Bills ... #4 Philadelphia Eagles ... #3 Chicago Bears ... #2 Denver Broncos ... #1 Seattle Seahawks
I predict the Jets will be the third-worst team in football (behind the Dolphins and Cardinals)
Here's my herd hierarchy. We'll start at number 10 on the eve of the NFL season... Number one... the Seahawks... Where are the Chiefs? I have them in 11th. Where are the Ravens? I have them at 12.
This is how they should be viewed heading into the Eagles' season... 1. Seahawks... 2. 49ers... 3. Rams... 4. Eagles... 5. Bears
One of these seven teams will win the Super Bowl: 1. Los Angeles Rams ... 2. Seattle Seahawks ... 3. Baltimore Ravens ... 4. Buffalo Bills ... 5. Denver Broncos ... 6. Philadelphia Eagles ... 7. Houston Texans
A weekly look at the top five teams among the NFC and AFC West: 5. Kansas City Chiefs ... 4. San Francisco 49ers ... 3. Denver Broncos ... 2. Los Angeles Rams ... 1. Seattle Seahawks
And in the NFC West, I flipped it. I went Seattle second, Rams first.
NFC South, Saints, Panthers, Bucs, Falcons.
There's my AFC East, Buffalo, New England, Jets, Dolphins.
NFC North, best division in football. I'm going to take Detroit... Take the Bears second... but I'll still take their playoff momentum, their third Vikings fourth.
AFC West, I made a change. Denver second, Kansas City third... The Raiders will be a very fun fourth place team.
I do like the Ravens... Pittsburgh has a very high floor and a lower ceiling. They're third... Feel pretty strongly about Cleveland last and Pittsburgh third here.
NFC East. Listen, Philadelphia's roster, I'm going to take them... I'm very high on the Giants... Cowboys will be much better defensively, but we've pumped the brakes here... Washington... They'll finish fourth.
Washington, old, lost their left tackle... They'll finish fourth.
WalterFootball's current NFL Power Rankings provide an amusing wrinkle. Denver enters Week 1 ranked 15th. Kansas City is 17th.
My first power rankings of the season... I'm putting the Bears at 10... at nine, I'm putting the Houston Texans... the chargers are eight... Number seven are the Eagles... at six, the New England Patriots... The Buffalo Bills are here [five]... Four is Dallas... Three is Denver... I put them at two in their title defense, and I put the Rams at one
I've got the Saints finishing last again... I do have the Falcons third... And I've got the Bucks winning the division. I've got the Panthers finishing second.
So I got the Panthers finishing fourth place. Okay. I got the Falcons finishing third... They're Bucks and the Saints.
I have the Falcons fourth... The Panthers third, I I I like the Saints... Somehow the Bucks winning the division, Saints second.
here is Cowherd's actual top 10 before Week 1 kicks off ... 10. Bengals ... 1. Seahawks
THE MIAMI DOLPHINS ON SI WEEK 1 POWER RANKINGS 1. L.A. Rams ... 32. Arizona
