Key Points:

- The author predicts the Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars will play in the Super Bowl, with the Jaguars ranked third and the Cowboys fifth to start the season, a pick that has been met with skepticism.
- The Miami Dolphins are expected to struggle, starting at the bottom of the rankings, with the focus on rebuilding under new coach Jeff Hafley rather than immediate wins.
- The author acknowledges the unpredictability of the NFL season and expects these early rankings to be a source of humor by year's end, emphasizing that preseason predictions often miss the mark.
