NFL Power Rankings Week 1: Predicting Season-Opening Standings

The Philadelphia Eagles bulldozed through the NFC last year en route to beating the New England Patriots for the Super Bowl. They went 13-3, and that included a defeat to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17 in which numerous starters rested as Philadelphia geared up for the playoffs.

Philadelphia certainly wasn't a frontrunner leading into the season, as it was coming off a 7-9 campaign. However, it was clear early in the season that this year would be different, and the Eagles proceeded to roll to 16 wins in 19 regular-season and playoff games.

It will be interesting to see who challenges the Eagles for their conference crown this year.
