Well first of all I think the Texans will win a hand full of games and do very well. But the team you will be shocked to see come late December in the playoff is Browns. I know they were close last year but this year will be a break out year for them I think.

Hmm... the Dolphins? I guess if we were to win the Super Bowl, it wouldn't be a huge shock since we are semi in it every year.

The Browns aren't a bad pick... besides that, not sure right now.

I honestly believe that the Chargers could be a sleeper this year if a good number of our young players (L.T., Brees if he starts, Jammer, Caldwell, Fonoti) step up. The problem is that that is a lot to ask for from a bunch of rookies or 2-year players, but I think that they are up for the task, personally.

I think the Browns still need some more weapons. Maybe a big name receiver for Couch to throw to or something.

I have no idea who would be a surprise.

I think that the Redskins Saints and (unfortunatly the cowboys) could all have good seasons. Once the defenses get used to Spurrier I think his success will go down with the correct blitz package. Saints Brooks needs to get his head in the game not on his contract...Cowboys need consistant play from Carter.

The 49ers are going to be good only if healthy...
Teams that I think may fall are going to be the Rams, and Eagles.

Team that may be a shocker might be the Giants, Panthers and Chargers....they could suck again though.

If McNabb went down, so much for the Eagles...

I think St. Louis has a enough weapons to do well even if Warner went down.

Browns baby! As long as we play well against the Ravens and Steelers we can make the playoffs.

Cleveland Rocks!

I going for another "Shock the nation"

I am picking the Patriots to not even get into the playoffs!!!

I am a Rams fan and I was very mad that the Rams did not win, but I also think that it was pretty stupid to let Bledsoe go and they will regreat that soon!!!

I am not some kind of Patriot hater, but they got alot of BIG breaks(cough*Okland touchdown*cough)
