Don't you think its a bit early to start this since training camps haven't even started?

Naturally, I reserve the right to make alterations after final cuts.

Yeah, it may be a bit early but I don't know if I want to keep reading about Julius Peppers, or whether or not Brady is better than Manning.
Besides, it's the deadest part of the NFL year, and starting rosters are for the most part set. Is there really going to be something between now and week one (other than a preseason injury) that will drastically alter the odds of any one team's chances of going to the playoffs?
Re: 2009 Predictions: who makes the playoffs, who does not?
Playoffs:
Chargers - no competition in the AFC West
Steelers - almost no losses from the '08 SB squad, plus they get a healthy OL
Vikings - good running game, solid lines, weak division
Cardinals - even if Seattle regoups, I can't see them not winning the division
Colts - despite the coaching changes, they should at least be a wild card
Pats - no explanation required
I avoided teams from the NFC East and NFC South because I thought there was too much competition; i.e., a favorite might be very good, but was also more likely to be upset by a #3 team.
This list was tougher than I thought it would be to put together. It's a combination of who is rebuilding and looking at 2010, and who is in a division or conference with little chance to succeed. Bills and Jets could easily fit on this list in place of the 49ers based on the other AFC teams they will be competing against for a playoff spot.
