Don't be a Patriots fan, please. Or an Eagles/Cowboys fan as most of them are giant douches who bandwagon their own team.

Don't put the Giants in the defensive minded group. They aren't a good defense overall.

Get on board the Tampa Bay Buccaneer bandwagon. Good things are to come there I think. Last year was just a down season for this young group. Them or the Carolina Panthers.

I'd pick an NFC East team (Dallas, New York Giants, Washington, Philly). Hint: Don't pick the Eagles. I'm biased but you're gonna get the best division in the NFL here. AFC North or NFC South is good too.

@Makaveli: Every good or relevant team has bandwagoners, no matter what the sport is.

Oh yeah I forgot the Bucs, got a feeling they could be a darkhorse to make the playoffs if their defense is really legit this year. Although the Falcons will most likely get the division title.

I know, but it's extremely prevalent in these two. I live in South Jersey and Eagles fans would as soon as throw their team under the bus as they would praise them as Gods. They'll shit on Vick this week and if he lights it up next week they'll pass him off as the second coming of Joe Montana. It was especially bad during the McNabb era. I feel SO bad for McNabb. People around here, and I think in general, overlook how great Donovan was. The Eagles will be lucky to ever see another QB come through that system and turn out as successful as he was. It's a shame where he's at now though.

And Cowboys fans are just cockroaches. When they're losing they're nowhere to be found, but all of sudden when the Cowboys start winning all of a sudden people come out talking about how they've been fans for years.

And the Patriots...well I just hate the Patriots.

There's a lot of options really, break it down by what each Division tends to bring.

If you want a team from the toughest Division: AFC North / NFC North

If you want to choose a team with a large fanbase with tendency to be overhyped: NFC East / AFC East

If you want the Young bucks: NFC South / AFC South

Some teams have a huge fanbase & tend to be hated: Cowboys, Steelers, Eagles, Patriots, Packers, Jets.

Cowboys 2-0 after this week.

Haters know what to do.

There's quite a lot of Steelers fans here in Atlanta for some reason. That's the bandwagon team that seems most apparent to me.

Not too many Steelers fans around here. At least not that I've seen but around the times of their SB wins they did spike in popularity.

I hope the cockroaches come out to party Makaveli. It means Dallas just won a Super Bowl.

Did you know a record amount of points were scored for week 1? It wasn't just QBs bombing the ball left and right either. Balanced attacks shredded defenses.


WF POWER RANKINGS

San Francisco 49ers
Baltimore Ravens
New England Patriots
Houston Texans
Dallas Cowboys
Denver Broncos
Chicago Bears
Atlanta Falcons
Washington Redskins
NY Jets lmao but I'm serious here

Doesn't matter anymore after the Jets.
