Read this for a description of APR
Note that this is using a new (and hopefully improved) margin power function, so these power values are not comparable to the values from last year.

Comments
These rankings are based on one game (no preseason data was included). Don't freak out if you think your team is ranked too low; things will settle out as more games are played.
In particular, all 1-0 teams are ranked above all 0-1 teams; I'm sure we'll see teams like the Titans and Bears move up in short order, while the Broncos will... find their own level as well.
Note that there are a number of ties in the rankings.
If you followed the NFL last year, you may want to look at last year's Week 1 Power Rankings for comparison.
