The NFL season kicks off on Wednesday, so here is the top ten in the ESPN Power Rankings:
1. Los Angeles
2. Seattle
3. Buffalo
4. Denver
5. Philadelphia
6. New England
7. Green Bay
8. Baltimore
9. San Francisco
10. Houston
The Chiefs are Number 13. Washington is Number 20. The Dolphins are Number 32.
As usual, the Week One matchups are challenging for anyone interested in Survivor Pools, because the League does a good job of matching up teams of similar quality. However, there is one clear favorite -- the Chargers are expected to beat the Cardinals by 10 points. So I'm taking the Chargers as my team to survive Week One.
