NFL Expert Rankings?

So NFL.com has a fan rankings page set up for people to rank the 32 teams as they see fit.  My #1-5: Patriots (duh), Saints, Colts, Cowboys, Jets.  It is much too early for this.

I'm telling you this here because, once you hit submit, a video pops up and they list the consensus top 10 among NFL Network 'experts'.  From 10 to 1:  Ravens, Steelers (what!!!), Jets, Eagles, Chargers (stretch), Vikings, Cowboys, Packers, Saints, Colts.  I overlooked the Pack, they deserve to be up there.  Anyways, after reading through the list, they spend a couple minutes talking about the Pats not even being on the list!  Jamie Dukes argues about how ridiculous that is for a bit, then he releases his own personal top ten, with the Pats at number 9!

It has been like nine years since the Patriots have had expectations this low.  And I think that is awesome.  I cannot wait for football season, we get to be the underdogs again!  Huzzah!
