    The Colts, they've got this young, unproven renegade called Manning at QB, could be interesting to watch him develop

    If you got any football mad relatives you can pick a rival team to annoy them. I support the 49ers since they beat the seahawks in '02

    Failing that watch a few games see what teams you like to watch?

    P.S Packers are going to become a fantastic team (as much as it pains me to say it)

    Please dont pick the patriots people will secretly hate you :D

    There are far too many Patriots fans in Ireland as it is.

    Right.

    And the Patriots have 'England' in their name FFS! 800 years is all I'm sayin'.

    Pick a team with a story. I'm a Ravens fan and its good to have a team with shortcomings aswell as features. My team destroys the patriots then just 6 days later gets embarrassed by the colts.

    I think the Vikes could be an interesting team to support next year (and they're my backup team now that the ravens are out) as I think such a great receiving core, running back, D-line but with a big gap at QB (if favre retires) makes for great drama throughout the season.

    To echo what people say though once you pick stick with that team for better or worse. Its much more entertaining that way!!!

    It still feels weird hearing that about the Vikings post-Moss

    The Jets, 17-14. You have to become a Jets fan now. :D

    I started supporting them in the mid-80s when the QB was Ken O'Brien and the kicker was Pat Leahy. Added to that they played in green so I (wrongly) assumed there was some Irish connection and so I became a Jets fan. The important thing, as someone already said, is to stick with the choice you make, no matter how painful it may prove to be (I'm a Leeds fan as well, so I know all about pain :D).

    Awesome, so I guess Jets don't suck so bad. :)

    Overall however, which would you guys think is the better team, Jets or Giants ?
