The Big Nasty Athletic Dept. NFL Preseason Power Ratings
__________________________________________________________________________With less than 24 hours until your girlfriend hates you again, the Big Nasty Athletic Dept. reveals its first of many power ratings to be updated throughout the season. 
Criteria for our power ratings were explained in our opening line post for the Vikings/Saints kickoff game.
1 San Diego Chargers. Their abnormal play against the spread last season is a bit concerning, but Ryan Matthews and Norv Turner should make magic in San Diego. Don’t worry about Vincent Jackson. Malcolm Floyd will be Vincent Jackson.
2 Baltimore Ravens. Think the 2010 Jets but with less broken promises.
3 Indianapolis Colts. Donald Brown could be a key to a return to the Superbowl.
4 Miami Dolphins. Think the 2010 Jets, but with the AFC East crown on their fins.
5 Dallas Cowboys. Something tells us that Dallas just might host their own Superbowl.
6 NY Giants. Under the radar, and scary as hell.
7 Atlanta Falcons. Nobody repeats in the NFC South. It’s Atlanta’s turn this year.
8 New Orleans Saints. See Atlanta Falcons. Then look up ‘minor disappointment in 2010.’
9 Green Bay Packers. Not exactly going gaga over the ‘Packers to the Superbowl’ talk, but it sure is nice on the ears.
10 Tennessee Titans. Vince Young is better than everybody (outside of Mack Brown) thinks.
11 San Francisco 49ers. We think 8 wins can do it in the NFC West. Apparently, so does Peter King.
12 New York Jets. Think the 2010 New York Jets. Then wait for the inevitable letdown to take charge.
13 Pittsburgh Steelers. 2-2 by the time Big Ben comes back, and that won’t be good enough to compete in what figures to be a reloaded AFC.
14 Minnesota Vikings. Favre’s final pass attempt will be an interception – in the regular season.
15 Chicago Bears. Better than you think, but Mike Martz?
16 Houston Texans. Over/under starts for Matt Leinart: Over 1.5.
17 New England Patriots. And the window slams shut.
18 Arizona Cardinals. Derek Anderson with weapons will be productive, but we’re not power rating the Arizona Derek Andersons now are we?
19 Cincinnati Bengals. A mess from the first whistle. If only there were a such thing as implosion insurance in the NFL.
20 Philadelphia Eagles. Kevin Kolb will start a game in the playoffs – of your fantasy league.
21 Carolina Panthers. A surge in the NFC is somewhat likely, but don’t hold your breath. Apparently, Peter King is.
22 Cleveland Browns. Put them down for seven wins after a hot start.
23 Washington Redskins. McNabb’s biggest wins will come against his former team. There won’t be much else to write home about.
24 Seattle Seahawks. Not yet, Pete. Not yet.
25 Detroit Lions. Better, but so what.
26 Denver Broncos. This season will be all about when the Tim Tebow era begins in Denver.
27 Oakland Raiders. Look for the Raiders to continue to make frontrunners bankrupt just as they did last year.
28 Jacksonville Jaguars. Draft MJD.
29 Kansas City
30 St. Louis
31 Tampa Bay Buccanneers
32 Buffalo Bills
