Interesting, the Packers have the same ranking as last year at 87 and Vikings rated at 88. (See full ratings list below) These ratings look pretty good as preseason power rankings as well (for the most part).

Madden 11 release date is Tuesday, August 10th. Earlier this week, EA Sports unveiled a new online scouting feature, which will allow players to learn about their opponent's tendencies before an online game begins. Packers ranked #6 = can't wait to play Madden this year!

works for me

Why is Baltimore so high and ahead of teams like the Vikes (did they account for Favre?)

There is no way the Vikings would be rated so high if they did not account for Favre, and Baltimore imo is rated fairly as I see them being a pretty potent team this season as long as Flacco continues to improve. They also picked up Boldin and Stallworth in the offseason, Ray Rice was one of the top backs in the league last year, and they had the 3rd ranked defense in the league behind the Jets and Packers.
