I'm looking fwd to seeing the BUF offense. If Manuel can continue to grow, that is going to be a very dynamic offense.

Only surprise for Cleveland will be mopping up the bottom again. Houston is my surprise team , a Bona fide 10-4 team last yr until their Qb went into the krapper. Single handedly he lost it all for them. Loss of confidence is a weird thing, but that was HOU last yr. They play to their 10-4 this yr.

San diego for sure. Something about that team just feels so under the radar.. Rivers is getting back in the groove and i think they will be a decent team next year.

the criteria should be you cant be a playoff team from last year and you cant be a team who had a down year out of nowhere but have been a steady playoff team for 2-3 years before that a la atlanta and houston. anyone can pick a team who had a down year via injuries, and anyone can pick a playoff team from last year who bowed out early and say i think they'll go further.

If a team made playoffs last year, would that even be considered surprise breakout? Heck if the Redskins did good this season but everyone knows RG3 was coming off of injury (and drama) last season, is that even considered a surprise breakout?

Bills. They have a great defense, and their offense is becoming pretty stout

I would go with the Lions (who should be on this poll) or Bucs. Chargers & Eagles shouldn't be included, both playoff teams last year. Giants with 2 SB wins last 6 years should also be omitted cuz they just sucked last year which wouldn't make them 2014 surprise team, just a bounceback team.

If that's true then the Texans are just a bounce back team and the Lions or Bucs should be favored....and I agree!
