Biggest Surprise this year

Be is disappointment or better than expected performance

 

I left out the Panthers as a lot of people didn't think they would do as well but not necessarily this bad. I threw in the Chiefs because of they way they have run the ball (20+ yards more a game than the next team). I voted on the Cowboys because of all the expectations people had for them as a potential Super Bowl contender. With the talent Minnesota has on defense and across the OL I am surprised they haven't done better

 

Tampa

St. Louis - the Rams are 6-2 ATS.

 

Or Oakland. I think Al Davis must have died.

Minnesota's OL has been in decline the last two years, and that defense isn't doing well because Jared Allen's once unstoppable motor seems to have stalled *Insert Peppers 2007 comment here*

 

It's likely Tom Cable just beat the shit out of him.

 

The good (and absolutely horrible) specials teams play across the league. I've never seen so many games decided by that phase.

Also, the paradigm shift on offense. Teams are going back to the running game and it's working.

 

Our running game, or lack thereof. The missing pieces and even the almost non-existent passing game don't add up to the result we're seeing. At least, not to me. Talk about going from the penthouse to the outhouse...
