Colts: Luck is growing every years by leaps and bounds. Richardson should do better and they drafted for the offense line. Also they have a weak schedule.

Bears: Numerous free agent signings to strengthen their defense. Jared Allen will lead the defense and fill the leadership void when Urlacher was booted out of town. Cutler will be in the second season of a new system and worked with the coaches all off season. He must stay healthy. They had a good draft getting two huge DT's and a sleeper RB. Take notice. 25 to 1 odds for the Super bowl.

Falcons and Ravens. Both teams are re-tooled and healthy from let down seasons last year.

The Colts are not a sleeper and The Ravens are not a sleeper, but for different reasons.

The Colts aren't a sleeper simply because they're easily the third best rated team right now in the AFC. Broncos > Patriots > Colts > Rest of AFC.

The Ravens are not a sleeper simply because sleepers have a chance of "waking up", which I certainly see absolutely no reason to say that they would...

As yours are, those are just my opinions.

I would pick my sleeper team to be The Washington Skins. With having a full off-season for RGIII to rest up his knee, and him being able to better utilize an already incredible Pierre Garcon by adding DeSean Jackson to the mix. Not to mention the crazy dangerous Alfred Morris... All they need is their defence to hold up.

Also the Lions/Panthers. I can put reasons behind them if anyone's interested.

Cheers

I just feel everybody is a sleeper after the big 3. Seahawks, Broncos, 49'ers.

The Chargers may not be a sleeper but they can play with anyone in the AFC and their organization out smarted almost all teams in 2013-they should make the playoffs and win 11 games..Vegas thinks they'll lose more than 8...take the over

Green Bay is a favorite to win their division. How are they a sleeper.

Falcons and Ravens. Both teams are re-tooled and healthy from let down seasons last year. Ravens maybe, Falcons will go 4-12 again........

Richardson will never get better--he's a stiff.

Houston is bad bad bad. Tampa will not beat out the Saints or Falcons and San Diego was a playoff team, not really a sleeper.

IMO the Lions figure it out this year and become a major contender. Won't be easy in a tough conference, but I think they figure things out in 2014.
