As I am laying here watching the first games of multiple teams and having a great conversation with my fellow Inscriber Mag associates, I started thinking about already doing some power rankings.
What makes this ironic is I just told them that we have no clue how most of these teams will play based on the preseason. With all the penalties and mental mistakes, the teams make. It’s their first game as a team! Rookies’ first NFL game, and new players in new systems, it happens!
We know teams like the Cardinals will be bad, but we have franchises like the Ravens who haven’t lost one of these preseason games since 2015(at the writing of this article, this will most likely bite me in the rear).
That said, they’ve won their last 23 preseason games, for what? Mediocrity outside of the 2019 season? Sure. Your annual preseason champs, the Baltimore Ravens everybody!
Anyway, here is my first Power Rankings list for the 2023 season. I won’t give explanations until the first week of the season itself. These games don’t matter really, so explanations won’t either. Enjoy! Make sure to tell me how wrong I am!

Let the ridicule begin! Looking at this. I think I might have some teams too high and low, but I’m happy, it’s Preseason. Who cares? Let me know what you think and be sure to read the article from the rest of our team here at INSC Mag!
