    Lions. They have a tough schedule, but they were damn good down the stretch last year and they have some important players coming back along with Nick Fairley who should be a great fit next to Suh.

      If you are saying the Lions as a surprise then you are picking them for the playoffs.

      The Lions seem to be everbody's surprise team in the media......this doesn't make them much of a surprise anymore.


      Fear the RAMS !!!
      TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

        I wont fear the rams, but they will get a playoff spot.
        My suprise team will be the Jets not making the playoffs and only being .500, also I think Carolina will suprise me if they do better than 2 - 14.

          Ok, I concede that Detroit isn't a huge surprise, since they're the media darling. Given their history though, I'd still be surprised if they actually converted. Houston probably fits into that category as well, with the trouble in Indi, they're the pick to win that division.

          I don't see many other teams with the potential to jump forward. My pick for a surprise team would be Altanta falling back and not making the playoffs. Tampa and NO can both beat them.

          Tennessee could do well this year, they have a happy CJ, and if Hasselbeck can be the game manager guy who doesn't screw up and keeps the defense honest, they can score some points. I have no idea what their D is like though.

            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                My hope is that the Lions - who are kicking Tampa's ass today - will start reading all the press clippings. They've been annointed.

                      Did the Panthers look that good, or did the Cardinals look that bad?
