I like making dumb lists, so I've broken down the league into a few categories for someone who wants to pick a team to root for.

1. The Up and Comers
It's fun to start following a team who isn't terrible, but still has some improvements to make. When you invest a little time in watching your team grow, it makes it that much more satisfying when they get a major win. This might also be a team who has been enjoying success for the last few years after decades of despair.

Houston Texans
New Orleans Saints
San Diego Chargers
Cincinnati Bengals

2. The Underdogs
Ok, maybe you'd rather pick a team with even farther to go? You probably liked the beginnings of sports movies like Little Giants when the characters all still suck, and then you get kinda bored when they start clicking as a team 45 minutes in. That's fine though, the NFL has plenty of fixer-uppers with nowhere to go but up!

Washington Redskins
Buffalo Bills
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Detroit Lions
St. Louis Rams
Jacksonville Jaguars
Seattle Seahawks

3. The Villains
All the girls love a bad boy. You might like rooting for a team that most everyone else loves to hate.

New England Patriots
New York Jets
Dallas Cowboys
Oakland Raiders
Philadelphia Eagles

4. The Superstars
You may get called a bandwagoner by some, but you'll always enjoy watching your dominant, consistently solid team rack up wins, and usually hit the playoffs.

Minnesota Vikings
Green Bay Packers
Pittsburgh Steelers
Indianapolis Colts
Baltimore Ravens
