The NFL finally kicks off tonight, and I can't be more excited.  The NFL is clearly the best run professional league, and the creation of fantasy football has made this my 2nd favorite sport to watch (behind college basketball).  Here are my preseason power rankings (with schedule slightly factored in), which are sure to change fairly drastically in the middle following the Week 1 games, along with my playoff predictions:

 1. Indianapolis Colts (masters of the regular season)
 2. New Orleans Saints
 3. Green Bay Packers
 4. Baltimore Ravens
 5. N.Y. Jets
 6. Atlanta Falcons (easy schedule)
 7. San Diego Chargers (easy schedule)
 8. Houston Texans
 9. New England Patriots
10. Dallas Cowboys
11. N.Y. Giants
12. Tennessee Titans
13. Pittsburgh Steelers
14. Miami Dolphins

SUPER BOWL
Peyton Manning leads the Colts back to the Super Bowl, and this time cashes in for his 2nd title.  Aaron Rodgers and the Packers make a great run, and are sure to win a Super Bowl of their own in the next few years.
