Easily the Eagles for me. I thought they would be terrible, and they are not just winning, but killing people. And what they did to Pitt was shocking.

Second is Minnesota, mostly due to circumstance of losing Bridgewater. I expected them to be good though.

Panthers and Cards very surprising.

I'd say the Cards more to me, given the games they lost and ways they lost them.

But still, the Eagles are the biggest surprise for me overall.

Philly and Denver in a good way, didn't think they had the QB play for this.

minni and rams. Rams screwed me out of a $30,000 survivor pool. Lost week 1 to SF then all of a sudden 3-0 next 3 games. smh.

You guys surprised about the Eagles shouldn't have slept on their defence.

My biggest surprise isn't one team, it's the entire NFC not being as strong as many predicted before the season.

I'd have to go with the Queens. Lose Teddy Football, bring in Bradford (which is turning out to be a win-win for them and the Iggles), lose Peterson and be undefeated after 3 games... not bad. Let's see where they are in 4 weeks but that's a pretty solid start. Rams could be 5-1 (very favorable schedule) when the meet the Giants in Week 7 but we all know what they do outside of their division so I'm in a "prove it" mentality with them. NFC South always has turnover and the Falcons were due. And I'm not surprised by the Iggles. That defense is damn good.

Jets and Colts - not surprised. Panthers - see my NFC South comments but they should be OK. Cardinals - yeah. I'm surprised.

To me it has to be the Minnesota Vikings. To lose both Adrian Peterson and Bridgewater and still look like a true super bowl contender is quite shocking to me.
