C'mon now. Every year there is at least one game that you weren't really worried about that just floors you. (TB last year)
No one would be surprised if we struggled to defeat GB, ATL, or DAL, but what team is most likely to catch us napping?
I thought about a poll, but determined that there is too much ambiguity to make a proper list. For example, I see TEN as a very difficult game, while others might be putting it into their easy win category in most of our 12-4 or 13-3 season predictions.
I don't even know if @Rams would qualify as a should win these days based on our history.
Will we have a sleeper loss this year or will we beat everyone we should?
If so, who?
I thought about the Colts, but saw it's a primetime game. I still can't fathom a Jags loss under any circumstance, even at 10:00am. I can't decide if the Eagles qualify and the Titans and Giants certainly don't.
That leaves me with Washington, Houston, and the Niners as my potential "didn't see that coming" losses. Of those, I'm going with a SF loss a week after a hard fought, exhausting ATL win.
