Next year's surprise team

[Matt Foley]

Who do you think it will be and why?

I say St. Louis, because they have been holding in awesomeness for three years now and it's bound to come out all at once.

nah, st louis literally needs like 19 new players

my money is on tampa bay. there's a poo ton of talent on that team, and if Freeman progresses, and they have a good draft (they've got like 45 picks) they're going to get really good really quick.

The Chiefs with their new coaching hires might get them somewhere unexpected.

[Fiz]

the chiefs need like seven new starters on the offensive line, a new linebacking corps, and probably two defensive linemen.

[Jangler]

The Haiti Voodoo Makers.

They might not be loaded but teams with the right mentality can over-achieve. Plus their division isn't the best.

The Carolina Panthers... Dun dun duuuuuunnnnnn

the chargers and broncos are both better coaching and talent wise, and the raiders are just competent QB play away from being very competitive. there's too much talent there for them not to be.

I actually think offensive line is one of the stronger parts of KC. When Larry Johnson left and Jamaal Charles took over he was running like a monster. He had 1100+ yards and 5.9 yards per carry.

I agree that their defense needs an entire overhaul, but if they play the draft/free agency right they might turn it around. I can predict an 8-8 or 9-7 team from them, possibly even a wild card. Gotta remember, they have two 2nd round picks(one from ATL for Tony Gonzalez and our 5th round pick for Tank Tyler).

My votes go to the Seahawks, Redskins, and Chiefs

1) Redskins: already have a ballin defense, and a decent set of weapons on offense. Should easily be able to put together a good team through the draft. Not to mention they nabbed Shanahan who will do wonders for them.

2) Seahawks: already had a strong team that was plagued by injuries. They'll probably draft a project QB to develop since it's obvious Matt Hassleback is aging.

3) Chiefs: see above^

i'm going with houston. they will finally get over the hump, beat the colts twice and win the division.

Houston makes the playoffs

[WilkinsonDonnie]

I can see Arizona doing really bad, and I think Detroit with a couple upgrades to their O & D line along with a descent corner could significantly improve. St. Louis really could use a new QB along with Seattle. The Redskins need alot of new components on their line along with a QB. The Chiefs could also be a team that shocks some people if they fill a couple holes on their O-line. Theres alot of teams that are close, raiders, browns, 49ers.
