NFL power rankings before Week 1:

1. Bills: This pick is no surprise, as Buffalo tops many preseason power rankings. They get a test right away in the form of…

2. Rams: … the Super Bowl champions. They were our pick in the preseason a year ago and look how that turned out. Had to mix it up a bit for 2022, but Week 1 will give them a chance to remind everyone who’s king.

3. Dolphins: This is our outlier. We expect Miami to surprise this year, and their date with the Patriots is their first opportunity. Don’t let us down, Dolphins.

4. Broncos: Add a quarterback, win a Super Bowl. That’s the formula Tampa Bay and Los Angeles used the past two years. Can Denver duplicate it? We think Russell Wilson and company can. But the road won’t be easy: We put the entire AFC West right behind them. As we said, the schedule will sort these rankings out, but why not have some fun at the start?
