Surprise teams in '09?

[saden1]

No one really stands out to me this year but if I had to go with one team I'd have to go with the Raiders. I think that team is going to improve the most out of all the teams in the league. They might win 9 or 10 games but I don't know about playoffs.

I've Said it before and I'll say it again, THE RAIDERS!! I know I'm going way out on a limb but, A) They play in a VERY weak division, B) They are a team similar to the Cardinals that have very many first round draft picks on their roster (loads of talent). If they can shirk the tradition of losing and gel as a team, I can see them taking advantage of a weak division. In other news The Saints won't exactly be a surprise team to be successful, but, it would be a surprise to see them win a Super Bowl... P.S. The Texans will also be a team that may be able to take advantage of their division with Indy and Titans losses of personnel.
