Funny things happen every year. Thought it would be fun to get everyone's thoughts on sleeper picks for the upcoming season. We all know that somewhere along the line that all of our predictions won't come true. Maybe we can hit a few surprises.

For me a few big time sleepers this season are the Buccaneers, Ravens, and Titans. I could see any of those three sneaking into the playoffs and turning some heads.

The Bucs and Titans are almost to the point where their expectations are playoffs...but I agree that these teams could explode.
This is finally a thread for me to be positive about my Rams! Lol..
-Seattle implodes and finishes 9-7
-Palmer still broken, Cardinals disappoint, finish 7-9
-Niners rebuild mode
-Wade Phillips takes our defense to top 5 - playing teams with bad defenses in weeks 1 and 2 allows the offense to build confidence. Rams schedule breaks down this way:
Colts - win
Redskins - win
@Niners - win
@Cowboys - loss
Seahawks - win
@Jaguars - win
Cardinals (London) - loss
@Giants - loss
Texans - win
@Vikings - loss
Saints - win
@Cardinals - win
Eagles - win
@Seahawks - loss
@Titans - loss
Niners - win
Rams stun the world and go 10-6 to win the division!

Well, in another thread I did pick the Lions & Panthers to win their divisions. Not sure if that truly qualifies as sleeper picks..

Buccs and Titans are playoff-bound IMO. Ravens as well, it depends on the AFC West standings.
I think the Panthers and Cardinals will both miss the postseason once again and I think the Eagles (hate to say it) can do some damage next season, it will be a hard fight in the NFC East (I still can´t believe the Giants didn´t upgrade their O-line).

Yeah.
Too bad about that.

A lot of teams have line issues...

I remember my heroes being one of them. Wasn't that long ago.
I don't miss those days.

For some reason I can't explain, I think New Orleans will make some serious noise this year.

People are blowing way too much smoke up Tennessee's **** just like they always do with Tampa Bay (which they're doing again this year). Until they actually make the playoffs, I'm not believing in either of them.
If I had to believe in a weaker team, I'd go with San Diego. I think Denver is going to be bad this year and I still don't completely believe in the Chiefs. I think 9-7 guarantees a playoff spot unless someone other than Pittsburgh ends up good in the AFC North, which I think they can reach.

They have talent on both sides of the ball. However as long as Bortles is QB, no way. I picked the Jaguars last year as my sleeper. Won't make that mistake again. Bortles is a bust and sucks.
