These are the teams to watch for in the next few years.
The Tennessee Titans are a professional American football team based in Nashville, Tennessee. The Titans compete in the National Football League as a member club of the American Football Conference South division. This team has built a nice core around Mariota. Give him some passing weapons and improve a shaky defense and this team has playoff potential.
The Houston Astros are an American professional baseball team based in Houston, Texas. They won the World Series in 2017. This team has suddenly become good out of nowhere. They have Springer,Altuve and Correa in the field and at the plate and Dallas Kechuel on the mound. Be prepared to see some playoffs and don't be surprised if they go deep
The Philadelphia 76ers are an American professional basketball team based in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. The 6ers may still be in the process, however they are slowly bringing the pieces together. I'm predicting them to be good in the next 3 years.
Situated in Phoenix, Arizona, this MLB team is a member of the National League West division. Known for winning the World Series in 2001, they host their games at Chase Field. Their team colors are Sedona red, black, and Sonoran sand.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are an American professional basketball team based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The pieces are starting to come together for this franchise. Karl Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins,Jimmy Butler. All key additions to a team that very well could make some noise in the playoffs.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a professional American football franchise based in Tampa, Florida. The Buccaneers currently compete in the National Football League as a member team of the National Football Conference South division. After a promising 9-7 season and almost making the playoffs this team has shown that they have some potential.
The New York Yankees are an American professional baseball team based in the Bronx, New York City, New York, that competes in Major League Baseball. Yes they lost Jeter. However they have a new beast in town and his name is Aaron Judge. The evil empire of the MLB is rebuilding quickly.
The Nashville Predators are a professional ice hockey team based in Nashville, Tennessee. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. After a shocking finals run, the Preds have the potential to be good for the next few years.
The Seattle Mariners are an American professional baseball team based in Seattle, Washington. Enfranchised in 1977, the Mariners are a member of the West division of the American League in Major League Baseball. This team is a common Dark Horse candidate. After getting Hanugir,Segura,and Dyson to patch up the outfield they have serious potential. They have Felix Hernandez on the mound and Cano,Cruz,and Seager at the plate. Overall shaping up to be a good playoff team
The Boston Celtics are an American professional basketball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are specifically known for honing infamous players such as Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Paul Pierce, and more. They are also known for having the most championships in NBA History, with 17 total. After losing to Cleveland in the Eastern conference finals this team could make a finals trip in the future. The Cavaliers have turned into a mess and the East is so dry that it's really anyone's game.
This team looks like a real contender after getting Kyrie Irving from the Cavs
