Could you include Cleveland as a surprise team if they win the AFC North? I doubt it because they nearly made the playoffs last year. But that would be my first pick.
As for the Chiefs: Their defense is solid, the only thing that bothers me about the Chiefs is Herm Edwards. He had his chances with the Jets and was always too conservative. That would serve the Chiefs right since their strength is not at the quarterback position. This is a team that will need to grind them out on both sides of the ball. Which always works well for a football team...
Let's just watch and see if Herm will be conservative in this situation (that is, now that he should be conservative). |
