2 articles · Updated · CBS Sports · Sep 8

Summary

  • Seattle opened at No. 1 in Pete Prisco's Week 1 NFL power rankings, with the defending champion Seahawks placed ahead of the heavily favored Rams.
  • Dallas and Jacksonville are his Super Bowl picks despite skepticism, with the Jaguars ranked No. 3 after a 13-win season and the Cowboys No. 5 on expectations of a much-improved defense.
  • Los Angeles landed at No. 2 even with Matthew Stafford, Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald, as Prisco argued the preseason favorite rarely finishes the job and must survive a brutal division.
  • Miami sat last at No. 32, where Prisco said a 4-win season would still count as progress in Jeff Hafley's first year.
