Who do you think it will be? I think the teams with the most surprise potential are the Chiefs, Bears, and Cardinals.

Bills could be a surprise team. I wouldn't bet against the Panthers to win a lot in 2008 either: Otah and Stewart can make a big splash this season. The Panthers however, will fall behind in 2009.- Also known as Dan.

I agree the Bills are much improved but I can't see them winning enough games in that division. The Patriots and Jets will have the ability to put enough pressure on Edwards to rattle the second-year QB. I think the Bills are on the right track but they need another year.

Since I'm such a homer, I'll say the Ravens because defense wins championships. Now I'll pick my real teams:
St. Louis Rams, if Orlando Pace is healthy, that's a big boost. I doubt they get that many injuries to their offensive line again. I think they will emulate the Browns last year where they were able to take the 4th hardest schedule in the division and then ride their offensive power to or close to the playoffs. But, I could see Scott Linehan ****ing it all up.
Carolina Panthers, it's nice to have Jake Delhomme back and even then, Matt Moore should have improved from last year in case Jake goes down. I like their offensive line on paper. I like the Thunder and Lightning combo in the backfield. I feel like their defense should do a lot better, even though the line is in shambles. If Charles Johnson can be a solid option across from Julius Peppers, then they could unseat New Orleans and Tampa Bay.

Mendenhall also arrives into a much better situation. Willie Parker proved he's capable of carrying a full load, although I'm not sure how he's recovered from his broken leg. Parker can take 60-70% of the carries, easily.
Stewart might be required to be the primary workhorse right from the start. DeAngelo Williams looks like nothing more than a change up back now.- Also known as Dan.

Bit controversial because they seem to get a fair bit of hate on this board, but the Raiders might surprise a few, a lot of their FA signings were risk/reward types and could go both ways, im not expecting miracles from them but even 8 wins would be a surprise...
My other surprise team will be the Chicago Bears who could get back to the playoffs at least if all their rookies do well...
