Sure.

Patriots

Key Additions: RB Fred Taylor, CB Shawn Springs, CB Leigh Bodden, LB Tully Banta-Cain, WR Greg Lewis, TE Alex Smith

Key Losses: QB Matt Cassel, LB Mike Vrabel, S Rodney Harrison, CB Ellis Hobbs, LB Larry Izzo, RB LaMont Jordan, Richard Seymour

This offense will be the best in the NFL, they have a hall of fame QB, with a great line and tons of weapons. They will be able to score at will. They will not lose because of this.

The pats defense lost some expiernce on defense and that will be the weak point of this team, which is the only thing keeping them from another 16 win season. They should see a dropoff in their defense without their star players. The pats already have their replacements, but their defensive success is based on the development of these replacements.

Key Additions: C Matt Birk, CB Domonique Foxworth, TE L.J. Smith, CB Chris Carr

Key Losses: LB Bart Scott, OT Willie Anderson, CB Chris McAlister, FB Lorenzo Neal, CB Corey Ivy, SS Jim Leonhard,DE M Douglas

The raven’s offense will be a lot better this season. They were a 1 dimensional team last year. That will change with the maturing of Flacco. He will be able to help the ravens score a lot more than they did last season. Which will help the defense that lost some of its firepower

The raven’s defense will still be the strong point of this team without a doubt. They still have Ray Lewis and Ed reed. This defense will not have to worry about too much of a drop-off. This defense has a deep roster and will still see great defensive production

Overall- The Ravens offense will be passing the ball alot more this year and that will translate onto the scoreboard. With a weak defensive for the Chiefs expect the Ravens to take full advantage week 1 at home. As for the Chiefs offense it will be improved from a year ago, but they will not be able to move the ball on baltimore with any consistency.

This one is going to be a blowout. Ravens win by 14+.

Key Additions: QB Sage Rosenfels,Brett Favre

The Vikings may have one of the best offense's in the NFL. The addition of Favre finally gives them someone to facilitate this team. Peterson is the best RB in the NFL which will help favre tremendously. This team will put up a lot of points this season.

Browns

Key Additions: LB Eric Barton, TE Robert Royal, DE Kenyon Coleman, S Abram Elam, OL John St. Clair, LB David Bowens, CB Rod Hood, CB Corey Ivy, WR David Patten, CB Hank Poteat

Key Losses: TE Kellen Winslow, WR Joe Jurevicius, OT Kevin Shaffer, CB Terry Cousin, QB Bruce Gradkowski, S Sean Jones, OL Seth McKinney

The browns offense is looking pretty bad. With a week line and no running game, the pressure will be on the passing game. The browns have some talent at QB and WR. But most team's will shut down the browns run and force the pass. Braylon Edwards should have a bounce back year which will help the offensive production.

The browns will truly be one of the worst defenses in the NFL. They have only one player worth mentioning in Shaun rodgers. Other than that they are weak. Teams will have a field day on this passing coverage. The browns will lose games ultimatly because of their weak defense.

Overall expect Favre to benifit from having Adrian Peterson in this game, he will take the pressure off of Favre and let him pick at the browns defense. The Browns offense will struggle against the above average Vikings defensive team.The Vikings will win this game by at least 7.
