13-3 hopefully

11-5 realistically

 

[packerzrule]

11-5

 

[night]

15-1

 

[Trudem]

Love our schedule. Getting Philly early is a huge plus and then 3 straight home games, after the road game at Pitt in week 5 the schedule lightens up over the middle of the season . 5 of the first 7 at home and we catch GB after their most brutal stretch of the season

I'll go 11-5 but 12-4 or,10-6 wouldnt shock me

We finally get you guys at home and in December. I hope its 27 degrees outside.

16-0 repeat

ESPN picks NFL teams to win 289 of a possible 256 games

Now that the NFL schedule is out, people are going through and making game-by-game predictions for each team. That is an impossible task: No one can tell you with any degree of certainty today who’s going to win a game six months from now.

But if you’re going to try it at all, you ought to at least start from the premise that every game that one team wins, another team has to lose. Which means that, assuming there are no ties, NFL teams will go a combined 256-256 this season.

So when ESPN’s team of NFL writers compiled their predictions, it was amusing to see that they picked a total of 289 wins and only 223 losses. Yes, league-wide the Worldwide Leader thinks NFL teams are going to go 289-223, a .564 winning percentage in a world where the only certainty is a .500 winning percentage.

The problem isn’t that ESPN’s staffers went overboard with the best teams. In fact, the best record assigned to any team was 12-4, for the Rams. If anything the folks at ESPN might have understated the number of teams that will have particularly strong records.

No, the problem is that none of ESPN’s writers want to admit that the teams they cover stink. The worst record assigned to any team was 5-11 for the Browns. The next-worst was 6-10 for the Cardinals. And four teams are projected by ESPN to go 7-9. Other than that, every team is predicted by ESPN to go 8-8 or better. That is obviously way too rosy an outlook. Last year there was an 0-16 team, a 3-13 team, two 4-12 teams, four 5-11 teams and three 6-10 teams.

Overall, ESPN’s writers predict that the NFL standings will finish with one 12-4 team, seven 11-5 teams, six 10-6 teams, five 9-7 teams, seven 8-8 teams, four 7-9 teams, one 6-10 team and one 5-11 team. That’s not just overly optimistic, it’s mathematically impossible.

Peters isn't the one I'm worried about. Its definitely Gurley and Donald.

I'm actually not sure who on the Chiefs offense Peters would be covering.

That goes without saying

Well the ole rope a dope strategy of putting the Chiefs worst WR on the opposing CB1 seems like a pointless strategy now.

Serious answer is I would put Hill on him and make him run.

Colts

It could sway more than maybe any other team.

If Luck is healthy, they could win 10-11 games. If not, they could win 1-3 games.

I'll guess 5-11.

I don't think Peters or Talib would be my first choices to cover Hill or Watkins to be honest but the Chiefs are probably just going to throw 20 screens against the Rams.

The big issue with the Chiefs in pretty much every game next year is the defense. If Berry or Houston go down then they're probably a bottom 5 defense regardless of what they do in the draft. I think if the defense can just be middle of the pack then they'll be challenging in the AFC again.

Well, the defense and Mahomes. Mahomes going to basically be where Goff was last year in terms of development and weapons around him. It worked out for Goff but its not a guarantee that it works out for Mahomes.

Yeah, that's the real catch here, isn't it. For as much intrigue is there is with the offense, that defense is... uncomfortable. Crossing my fingers they can get Carlton Davis, Hughes, or Hurst. Would be cool with a OG as I like this OG class, personally; but a defender would be much better.
