No picking your team - who will be this year's NFL surprise team?

[inthecards21]

Lions, Matt Stafford is going to be great

[Goober]

Chargers.

They're going to be terrible this year.

[Point Blank]

Texans

[IamMedellin]

the Scott Levy's

[Gonzo]

Was surprised to only see one person say the Texans.

I think its gotta be Oakland or Detroit. With Campbell, I'll go with Oakland.

[ram29jackson]

I am a Rams fan and will still pick the rams as a surprise team because if they win, it will still be a surprise.......

[Champ]

^^^ Groan

[Raidersabc123]

Chargers.

They're going to be terrible this year.

[Bmore]

I'd say the chiefs

[biggamejrs]

If the Chargers don't bring in Jackson and Mcneil, its them.
Falcons will be back in playoffs.

[Hasselbeck]

Carolina.

They no longer have a spaz at QB. The best RB tandem in the NFC and a solid defense.

Not to mention, they play a favorable schedule in a wide open conference.

If I had to pick an AFC squad, I'd say Kansas City. I like their offense a lot, especially with the addition of Charlie Weis as OC. And their defense will be much improved with Eric Berry in the secondary.

I think the Texans are kind of like the 49ers in that they are expected to make that jump.

It's now or never for both of these teams.

Niners........Alex Smith makes the pro bowl and they go to the NFC Championship game.
