Who is your surprise team in the NFL this season?

Question

Watch out for the Rams this year,possibly the Cardinals too.

Answer 1

Miami Dolphins

Answer 2

Cardinals

Raiders

Cincinnati

Carolina

Buffalo

Answer 3

Vikings

Answer 4

i can't believe i'm saying this, but the 49ers.  it is only Preseason, but they have really impressed me.  Frank Gore is running hard, JT O' Sullivan is looking like a sharp QB, and the defense looks decent.  in addition, they play in a very weak division that includes a once talented Seahawks squad that is in decline.

Answer 5

nah im gonna say the dolphins or the jets

Answer 6

the NEW YORK GIANTS.

everbody says they wont do anything this year(as usual).

I don't know if there is some sort of hater conspiracy or, what.

here is their resume...

3 SUPER BOWL titles XXI XXV and, XLII

4 NFL championships(this was before super Bowls)

4 conference championships

22 division championships and,

29 playoff appearances.

maybe it's Me but, I don't understand whats so unbelievable about them going to the super bowl.

Answer 7

The Detroit Lions.

They have less injuries than last year which really hurt them in the second half of the season. They also have an O-line that actually does some blocking now, as they looked great in the first two weeks of the preseason.

Answer 8

I dont like the Cards D. at all infact, i think they are in the top 3 worst Ds. Only goodies they got are Darnell Dockett and Adrian Wilson. I think the Raiders or Ravens, if they start Troy Smith.

Answer 9

i wouldnt call jacksonville a surprise team. but i dont think they are on the colts level, but yea they are more phsical, they play dirty. definetly not the cardinals, rams maybe, 6-10 or somthin im sayin. im thinkin eagles

Answer 10

I'm going with the Ravens.  Obviously, they're going to run the ball very well regardless of whether McGahee's healthy or Ray Rice (their durable and undersized rookie RB in the mold of Curtis Martin and Emmitt Smith) will take the majority of the load.  Their defense is much deeper than before with the addition of Fabian Washington (he is suspended for Week 1, but has looked good in preseason and should be a major upgrade over their other corners not named McAllister or Rolle) and rookie Tom Zbikowski in the secondary.

If either Kyle Boller or Troy Smith can fumble the ball less than Steve McNair did last season, the WRs and DBs can avoid injuries, and the defense has better luck, the Ravens could be just as dominant as they were in 2006 (last year, they were better at running the football and stopping the run, although they struggled with pass offense and pass defense due to injuries).

At the moment, it is fashionable to pick the Browns to win the division and to bash the Ravens.  I wouldn't be surprised if the AFC North returned to the natural order of things this season with Baltimore and Pittsburgh battling for the division and the teams from Ohio battling for 3rd place.

Answer 11

The Patriots will surprise everyone by going 8-8.  

Answer 12

Jacksonville is my sleeper/surprise team ,they're a big physical team that can beat you up like the old 80's and 90's teams in the NFC East and they're more physical than the Colts.

Answer 13

Colts.

ahahahahhahahahahahaha! They stink!

Answer 14

The Jets, but not because of Brett Favre, but because they have a relatively light schedule so they will win a lot of games, but will get ousted from the playoffs in the first round.  They will go 10-6.

Answer 15

Raiders

Answer 16

The Washington Redskins. Their draft was a great success in picking up 2 big WR's which they needed. They got a VERY good Dline. Their Offense is ok, but if Jason does good and Learns the system, I wouldn't be suprised of the Skinz make it deep into the playoffs..mby even the Superbowl.

Answer 17

The Baltimore Ravens!
