re: Speaking as objectively as possible, we probably lose one more game this season.

The team that worries me the most at this halfway point is the Ravens and Cincy. When they're dialed in, they look like contenders.

I think our home win streak breaks with one of them. I think the mini-bye we get before the 49ers when they have to play a very underrated Rams team is going to be to our benefit.

I think Steelers may beat us as well, Antonio Brown is showing he should be in top 5 consideration and LeVeon Bell has slimmed down and looks nimble. Our defense can have their hands full, but same goes for Pittsburgh defense. Dick LeBeau is a masterful DC, so I wouldn't expect any less from the best game of the season too.

Bears are reeling, Panthers at home seem easy enough, Falcons play us close, but we get this one, and tampa bay is in full rebuild mode.

I expect us to go 7-1 at best; 5-3 at worst to end the season.

3 victories from the division (CAR, ATL, TB)
1 victory from SF
1-3 victory from Bengals, Ravens, or Steelers.
