What Do The 6 Worst NFL Teams Want For The Holidays?
Gridiron Experts takes a break from our usual fantasy and betting tips to see if we can predict what the six worst NFL teams want for the holidays. Each team gets one gift, and while many greedy fans want more, we focus on what would be the perfect present that could help improve each team.

Detroit 0-14
Real Lions fans don’t want a win, they want an offseason that can bring them the 10 wins that John Kitna had promised them a year ago. With Matt Millen out of the picture and the first overall pick in the 2009 NFL draft almost a lock, the Detroit Lions look to make a big splash in the offseason. While Detroit needs more than just one thing, a Quarterback would be the perfect gift. Some are thinking Sam Bradford, the recent Heisman winner from Oklahoma, could be the next QB for the Lions. Bradford threw for more than 7500 hundred yards and 84 touchdowns in just two seasons with Oklahoma, and will decide soon whether or not he wants to declare for the draft. Gridiron Experts thinks the Lions should head in a different direction, by selecting the top offensive tackle in the draft and throwing as much money at Matt Cassel as possible. Cassel has made huge strides this season, and will be the top free agent by far. If the Lions can snag him, their 2009 season will be bright.
Christmas toy equivalent: Castle Greyskull – Don’t lie, you watched He-Man as a kid!

St. Louis 2-12
Who’s running the show in St. Louis? There seems to be a lack of direction with the Rams these days, because as far as I can tell, they enjoy losing. Whatever happened to the greatest show on turf? Scott Linehan only lasted 4 games into the 2008 season before being canned. Linehan was 10-25 as head coach in St. Louis, and was a big waste of time overall. The Rams would love a head coach that can lead this team back to the playoffs.
Christmas toy equivalent: Optimus Prime – No one talked back to this guy.

Kansas City Chiefs 2-12
The Chiefs are having a pretty good season despite their record. It’s a season of rebuilding, and the fans know that. Trading Jared Allen before the draft was smart, as they couldn’t afford to keep him around. Keeping Tony Gonzalez, who is a huge fan favorite, after the trade deadline was another smart move; scoring has been something the Chiefs have been able to do. Tyler Thigpen looks to be a capable starter for this team, taking pressure off of Larry Johnson and a rebuilt o-line. Herm Edwards and the Chiefs have learned a lot about themselves this season, and the future looks bright. For Christmas, I think the Chiefs will be content with giving out gifts (wins to opponents) as good karma for next season. Although, “Lego” would be a good representation of the building blocks that are in place to make a new team.
Christmas gift equivalent: Lego- I just hope Kansas City knows what they’re building.

Cincinnati Bengals 2-11-1
The Bengals are Bungles again, it’s just that simple. Mistakes started early and often, including sleeping through the draft and missing out on nose tackles that were something this team desperately needed. When training camp started running, so did Ocho Cinco’s mouth, causing trouble amongst his teammates and coaches. Carson Palmer got hurt early but was never put on IR, just another example of mismanagement from above. For Christmas this team could use a family friendly Nintendo Wii. The Bengals need everyone happy and smiling again, the morale is definitely low in Cincinnati.
Christmas gift equivalent: Nintendo Wii – Ocho Stinko already thinks he’s a guitar hero.

Seattle Seahawks 3-11
Mike Holmgren is regretting his early announcement of retirement, and rumors are flying that he still wants to coach. Can you blame him after such a rollercoaster season of injuries and bad luck? Although, injuries aside, there is a general lack of talent at the receiver core position. Wide receiver Michael Crabtree from Texas Tech would certainly wake up the 12th man fans, who are sick of the carousel of crappy pass catchers in Seattle. But what the Seahawks want even more than a new weapon on offense is for Mike Holmgren to stick around one more year. I don’t how Holmgren can get out of his “it’s my last year” statement without looking stupid, so Santa Claus is giving the Seahawks a magic kit for Christmas. The Magic kit will be filled with many impressive tricks that they can use to erase this painful season, and convince fans that this was just a one year fluke.
Christmas gift equivalent: Magic kit – we suck, Ta Da!

Oakland Raiders 3-11
Finding a gift for the Raiders is like shopping for that Uncle or Father-in-Law who is hard to buy for. No matter what you get them, it’s going in the closet and will never be used. This team reeks of Al Davis’s old folk’s home, that curious combination of Taffy and Ex-Lax. Oakland is where NFL players go to die; the payday might be huge, but the numbers disappear. I believe that change starts from the top, and until Al Davis can give a coach more than a season and a half before getting the axe, the Raiders will continue to stink. Darren McFadden is trying to find carries on a team loaded with frustrated running backs, while JaMarcus Russell has happy feet in the huddle that can’t buy him any protection. This team needs to convince a big name coach to sign with Oakland, and promise him that Al Davis will stay out of his hair.
Christmas gift equivalent: Mr. Potato Head- For all of the faces that will continue to coach for this team.
