Kickers to start: Mason Crosby (Green Bay) and Jason Hanson (Detroit) - This game will be a shoot out and Crosby/Hanson will reap the benefits.
David Akers (San Francisco) - This game may be a defensive battle but San Francisco will probably give Akers some field goal chances. I think he'll score 12-15 points.
All 32 kickers are ranked following the jump.
Kickers to avoid: Ryan Succop (Kansas City), Josh Scobee (Jacksonville) and Phil Dawson (Cleveland) - These three are on teams that will be facing some really strong defenses. I think they'll struggle to even get them into field goal range.
