No doubt that after week one this will drastically change.
It's a good thing for some of the posters here that they don't have a Power ranking for posters.
These are all good ones. I'm not seeing any teams where I'm tempted to say, "no way."
Keep 'em coming...

I haven't made my opening Power Rankings yet but the greatest difference in our respective opinions is on the Bengals. While I'm not an Andy Dalton fan, other than the QB position I would take the Bengals roster over any AFC team. Of course the QB position is the most important on an NFL team. Yet, as in the case the previous 4 seasons, Dalton was good enough for them to get to the playoffs. The AFC North appears to be the best division in the AFC again. Even in a difficult division, I would be surprised if the Bengals don't have at least a winning record.

Eagles #2? Yikes. Too much movement to trust them that much.

Agree.
I'd have the Bengals somewhere between the 9-15 range. If they had a little bit better QB, they'd be ranked higher than that.

The AFC North looks like another great 3 way battle. I think at least 2 teams from the division will reach the playoffs. I haven't made my predictions yet but at this time I envision the Bengals as a playoff team again. As long as Andy Dalton protects the ball, they can be competitive with any team in the NFL.

Thats why I have them at 13, I think they could easily be better but Dalton does bring them down at times. But he has also still been able to help them to the playoffs as well.

I think # 13 is relatively close to where I will put the Bengals at the start of the season. Probably a little higher.
In fairness to Andy Dalton, the injuries the Bengals had for their playoff game at Indianapolis made it extremely difficult to match the Colts on the scoreboard in the playoffs. Yet, Dalton not being a higher level QB was probably the top reason why they weren't a higher seed.
I certainly would have the Bengals higher if I didn't have such strong doubts about Dalton.
