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.
