Every season some fans pick their favorites to win the league. Others pick the top contenders who will dominate Major League Soccer during that year. The question is who will be the dark horse?

Columbus and New York are the favorites for 2016, while Toronto and New England are expected to be their top contenders. Other teams will look to make these predictions wrong, but who is the dark horse?
