Surprise sleeper team this year?

[D12 fan]

What team do you think will be a sleeper team in the NFL this season?

Can't choose your team.

I think Oakland will surprise a lot of people this year,with a healthy Mcfadden and a full training camp with Carson Palmer.

I am not sure there is one. I don't believe any of last years "below 500" teams will rise up and be significantly better. The entire play-off picture will come from last year 500 or above teams.

I may get laughed at for this, but I am going to say Kansas City-- I mean this was a team that lost Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry, and Matt Cassel for the season or a significant time and they still finished 7-9 last season.

Ive been saying KC all offseason long.

They are loaded with talent and havent been able to stay healthy. Their young players know the system well, and if they can all stay on the field, they can go all the way.

Call your bookies! KC in the Super Bowl!

I have the same exact teams as my sleepers. I really like the Bucs...I love the new coach and the offseason they had.

Seattle could be interesting too.

The new coach is the x factor, while the new players will help out a lot, the new coach should get the young players to have great come back year. And freeman will do just fine, most likely not as good as 2010 but will have more yards and tds

FWIW, as a life-long Rutgers fan... don't get your hopes up.

I don't mean to be critical, rude, anything else... but you'll find his excellence at motivation is far outweighed by his struggles at in-game-adjustments.

He turned that team around and made a consistent competitor. He also produced more nfl ready athletes in his time than the schools full history. But as I said, x factor. Wich means plays a big part, they will win or loose because of him, I'm just leaning to winning lol I'm not saying super bowl but less than 8 wins seams less likely with him than Raheem Morris.

NFC: Saints(I think they have no fall off)
AFC: Dolphins(not necessarily the team, but Tannehill will look good)

Miami ends season at 9-7.

Jags

Falcons. As a Falcons/Broncos fan, yes I'm biased. But......I think the new offensive coordinator is going to have Ryan throwing deep more and getting Harry Douglas and Julio Jones a lot more involved. Won't just be White doing amazing things. Julio Jones should explode this season. Expect E-Z like Sunday Mornin Jaquizzi Rodgers to do more than his share of damage to opposing defenses at the running game when Turner isn't running. Should be a lightning and thunder like platoon. Beefed up our defensive secondary (Grimes, Robinson, adding Asante Samuel) and they still have a strong front line D. Now maybe they can get past the 1st round of the playoffs.

With all due respect, how can a team like Atlanta, who many have slotted as an NFL wild card playoff team, be considered a sleeper?
