10. New York Red Bulls
This will be wrong. It's always wrong. On paper, the Red Bulls are questionable. They're ridiculously young and don't have any proven stars. They've flirted with the playoff line the past few seasons. At some point, the dam is going to break and the Red Bulls are going to either rise way above the playoff line or sink to the doldrums. I'd bet on the latter.
