Although the NFL season has just started and it’s hard to make any kind of prediction, there are some teams that look promising. Yes, it’s early days, but there are a couple of sleeper teams to keep in mind when making your picks. There are a couple of teams that look stronger than ever. For example, the San Francisco 49ers seem like the team to beat. On top of that, there are the consistent teams that you know will thrive, like the Ravens, Giants, Texans, and many more.
There are some teams that can easily climb the ranks and surprise everyone. One team that seems to have the potential to compete with the best is the San Diego Chargers. I still believe that Phillip Rivers is an elite quarterback who can take this team a long way. Antonio Gates is still a dominant tight end, and the Chargers are a well-trained team. They can easily hang out with the best in the league, and aside from the Peyton Manning-led Denver Broncos, the AFC West division appears to be pretty weak.
Another team to watch out for is the Buffalo Bills. They’ve looked shaky so far, but this team has a lot of talent that can take them quite far. Ryan Fitzpatrick is a quarterback who has had streaks of greatness, and the addition of Mario Williams to the defense is very scary for them. The combination of second-year defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and Mario Williams makes the defensive line a force for opposing teams. They’re also a pretty well balanced offense, so don’t be surprised if the Buffalo Bills surprise some of the dominant teams from time to time and find themselves in the playoffs.
One last team to consider is the Carolina Panthers. Cam Newton is a star in this league and will take them a long way. His defense has also improved and they look very complete. This team has a dynamic offense thanks to Newton and they will be with the best of them. His defense is also very underrated, so he should keep an eye on this team as a whole.
It’s early in the season so it’s hard to tell who will thrive. But these teams have the tools and the talent to go a long way. The NFL is always unpredictable, so who knows which team will end up on top. But if you’re looking to make great sports picks, consider these teams.
