SKY IS THE LIMIT - NFL SLEEPERS GOING INTO THE 2015 REGULAR SEASON

Yes fans, we've waited patiently for seven months and now here we are one week away from something to look forward to every Sunday, Monday and Thursday; the 2015 NFL Season. Of course the remaining 31 NFL teams are tired of hearing about Tom Brady and what type of shampoo he uses. Therefore, I'm hear to talk about which NFL teams are league sleepers this upcoming season and why.

The Houston Texans made a plethora of off-season moves acquiring veteran DT Vince Wilfork, WR Cecil Shorts, and new starting QB Brian Hoyer.  Also, they'll get back DE Jadeveon Clowney who missed most of last season with an ACL injury. His return adds fuel to an already potent J.J Watt led defense. Offensively, young weapons WR Deandre Hopkins and HB Alfred Blue seem promising and with additions like WR Nate Washington and HB Chris Polk they're stacked with fire power. The Texans finished with a 9-7 record last season. Their only hinderances; a unenthusiastic  WR Andre Johnson, inaccurate QB Ryan Fitzpatrick and injured rookie star Jadeveon Clowney. These are all shortcomings that have been overcame. Expect the Texans to win the AFC South this season.


Rex Ryan was involuntarily terminated by the New York Jets organization this off-season. Not long afterwards, the Buffalo Bills shoved a delightful 5/yr multi million dollar contract in his face. Talk about redemption. The Defensive guru will take over a Bills team that rank 5th in yards allowed in 2014 and will bring his high spirited morale to a Bills franchise that has been long without. The Bills also added HB LeSean Mccoy to play alongside sophomore WR Sammy Watkins who had quite a rookie season in 2014. Buffalo finished 9-7 last season. Whether QB Matt Cassel, QB E.J Manuel or retiree Doug Flutie comes back to get the start for Buffalo, expect a wild card berth for the Bills in 2015.


I won't be the 1st NFL analyst to make this following prediction but I will gladly be among the few. The Minnesota Vikings will win the NFC North division this season. Expect them also to be rank top 5 in offensive T.O.P for 2015. The return of HB Adrian Peterson and TE Kyle Rudolph are huge, accompanied new signee by WR Mike Wallace and young talent WR Cordell Paterson on the outside things could get dangerous. A poised Vikings defense staffed with household names like LB Chad Greenway, up and comers SS Harrison Smith, LB Anthony Barr and CB Xavier Rhodes will only get better in 2015. Second year head coach Mike Zimmer will slowly bring the Vikings defense to the top 10 rankings this fall. Expect youthful QB Teddy Bridgewater and the Vikings to finish 2015 with a 10 to 11 game winning season in 2015.
