The bookies rank them thusly:

Crusaders 3
Bulls 3
Hurricanes 6
Brumbies 6
Chiefs 8
Stormers 13
Blues 16
Waratahs 17
Highlanders 67
Reds 81
Sharks 101
Cheetahs 151
Lions 331
Western Force 501

I've ranked them in groups, with the Hurricanes and Chiefs being my top picks this year. I figure any team will beat a team in a lower ranked group, and teams in the same group, it could go either way:

Chiefs
Hurricanes

Reds
Crusaders

Highlanders
Bulls
Blues
Western Force

Lions

Sharks
Cheetahs
Brumbies
Waratahs
Stormers

Teams that can upset are Blues & Lions. A team that can start well but wilt in the 2nd half are the Cheetahs.
