Good stuff

I have not done mine yet. Should I post the ones I did last year? I just checked my spreadsheet and I picked the winner of 126 out of 256 games in 2007. (The picks were all made before the season started).

One quick thought is that I don’t see both the Jets and Bills getting to 10 wins and I think Atlanta and Miami will get 5 or 6 wins each.

Here's the thoughts

Jets wins:
Miami(2) Arizona Cincinnati Oaklan KC St. Louis SF Buffalo and Seattle- I’m sure you coudl argue some of those one way or another but for this I went on gut instinct alone!
Jets losses:
New England (2) SD Buffalo Tennessee Denver- I think these are pretty solid losses.

Bills Wins:
Seattle Oakland Arizona Miami(2) Cleveland KC SF New England- Once again argue away
Bills losses:
Jacksonville St. Louis SD NY Jets(2) New England Denver- you could switch a jets loss for the cleveland win if you wanted

IMO

I dont see Jax winning 13 games, I just dont. I think they may possibly get 10. Plus I see Indy slipping. Especially if Saturday has to get his knee cut on. Plus I see Pitt closer to 10 wins becuz they have a killer schedule. I cant see NO wininng that many games based on how bad their defense is, it could get better during the season but I doubt it. I am on the fence with the Rams, I just dont have a read on them yet. I think Dallas will get 12 wins and the giants will win 8 or less. I like the post. Especially the AFC West. I would hate to see Denver have to go to Indy AGAIN in the playoffs

I think with more on the line and Shanny wanting to show Peyton his QB is just as classy

we see a change in the wind in the RCA dome

Aren't they playing in the Lucas Oil Dome this year?

Also consider

JAX has been stuffing the roster for a while. Like I said ealier i just went gut reactions. too much thinking and you coudl talk either team in a match up into winning. If you do enough arguing you coudl make the raiser 15-1

I know

I am just a huge skeptic of the Jags. I tend to think they are like the 05/06 Jags that went 12-4 and then 8-8. Or its pure hope thats what will happen

Good job! 13-3 baby!

I’m getting antsy, perhaps I will do my predictions soon. Too busy right now, got a heavy workload right now. :)

I think Indy is overrated

Peyton manning still hasn’t practiced and if Sorgi is the QB, they are going to lose more than 2 games, especially playing in the AFC south and they have to go against SD and NE and the AFC North (Pittsburgh plus one other team may shock them Bengals or Browns). I think it will be a down year for Indy and New England, I think the age factor catches up with both teams.

PS Math is wrong on your predictions

I added up all the wins and you had 253, you need at least 256 total wins for the math to work out, meaning if you have 16 wins ever week and 16 loses every week then the total wins and losses must both equal 256 assuming no ties.

There’s some nerd logic for you.
