I think the Broncos have an easy schedule if I remember right. I bet they win 13+ and have the best chance to do so.

One of the Patriots, Packers, Falcons, or 49ers will also get it. I would be a little surprised if 12 wins is the best.

Romo has shown he can't win a big game. What's so hard to understand about that?

Saints should be over.

Romo is about as good as any qb not in the top 4 qbs.

Do you actually watch him play? He is a stud.

The Cowboys would be a disaster without Romo.

Yes big games, but week 17 isn't really a big game if they have the division wrapped up by week 15-16. Although its the NFC East so we all know its coming down to week 17.

I'd bet nobody wins 13 this year. I think the pats get 12 and nobody else gets more than 11.


I don't know, I could see a few teams getting 13 wins. But its just so hard to guess this early, a lot can happen before opening day kicks off.

stuff like player suspensions, injuries, and what have you.

and remember, the last two world champions finished the regular season at 10-6. And before that the world champion Giants had a 9-7 record. The game has really changed.

I'm not sure how long this trend will last but since its happened three years in a row, its kind of hard to ignore.

Like the under on Seattle 10.5

10 seems right for them

I believe Seattle is favored in 13 games according to the early lines.

Lots of 10am road games on the east coast though which will definitely be a challenge.

you can pretty much take the falcons out (NOT A FLAME ATTEMPT). It is EXTREMELY rare that a team repeats 13 wins (I believe less than 10% of the teams who have won 13 games have ever repeated that feat)...I'll try to find the statistics. 9ers also have a pretty tough schedule so I highly doubt they get it. Packers have lost a few of their weapons and did they really do anything to upgrade their Oline? Rodgers will get them 10-11 but I don't see 13. I fully expect NE to make a run at it.

Honestly kind of forgot about Denver. I could see them and NE beating up on a down AFC.


ETA: from a failed article last season predicting a SF collapse prior to the season

quote:

That decline doesn't happen because of the math, of course; it happens because there are simply too many things that have to go right for a team to repeatedly put up 13-3 seasons. Independent of their track record in previous years, the average 13-3 team has won an average of just 9.3 games the following year, with just three of the 32 examples maintaining their 13-win record from the previous year.


This is since the 16 game season started. Add last year's saints, 9ers, packers, and pats to teams who did not repeat 13 or more wins the following year....so now 3 for 36 or just over 8% repeating.

In my biased opinion, im thinking 12 wins for the Pats but im not confident enough in it that i would put money on that line

Eh, I don't care

Personally I think they'll be around 12 wins. Same defense that was #1 in the league in scoring by 2 points, but Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett, and Antoine Winfield were added.

On offense it's the same guys too but with Percy Harvin added and a Russell Wilson without training wheels for the first 1/3 of the season.

I'm optimistic, but I realize that I'm biased too. On paper it looks good for this year.

I have this same argument every year with Cowboy fans I work with.

Nevermind the fact that his o-line sucks, the running game has been abysmal and the secondary gives up points in bunches. All Romo's fault.

Sure he has bad games sometimes that the media blows completely out of portion. Every QB has those games every now and then.

7.5 for the Bucs?

I may be a homer, but still. I'd take the over.

So would I.

But I'm on record saying that 10, maybe 11 games win the NFC South this year. I also think that the champ will go at best 4-2 in the division, plus at least two losses to San Fran, Seattle, and New England. So that leaves their NFC North and East opponents, both of which are toss up games.

So I see 11-5 or 10-6 winning the NFC South, possibly with two teams at 10+ wins with the other two at or around 8 wins. Strong division this year with tough out of division matchups.

At first glance, I really like Arizona over 5.5, Cinci over 8.5 and Washington under 8.

Arizona will be better coached, play good defense and it will be impossible to not be better at QB. Hopefully add in a couple PP and TM7 special team TDs.

Carolina under 7, SF under 11.5, and Seattle under 10.5 don't look bad either.
