stevegrab Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I think the Browns win more than 6 games, but it will greatly depend on how many game Watson misses, when those occur and of course how the backup QBs fair. I sure didn't see an 8-9 record for 2021 after going 11-5 in 2020. I think BUF loses more than 2 games, looking at their schedule they play their division twice + AFCN + NFCN + Rams + Chiefs + Titans. Even if they go 6-0 in their division they face some pretty good teams outside that including CIN, BAL, KC, LAR, GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 I think vikes, broncos, raiders, dolphins, WFT do better than those projections philly and pats a little worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) I don't know what the Texans wins are going to be but their roster is ghastly. I agree the Bills seems steep at 15-2. That doesn't allow for many injuries or off days. I'd like to think the Jets will be better than 5-12 this year Falcons at 2-15? Seems low by a few games. Broncos too low. 8-9?

whomper Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The fact that this doesnt have the Cowboys at 17-0 makes it worthless 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Looks about right for the Chiefs. I have them at 11-6 or 10-7. This is a rebuilding year for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Provided the Saints stay healthy at the QB position, I don't see how they don't do better than 9-8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Bills, Bucs, Titans and Eagles win totals seem a little high to me. Browns, Broncos & Raiders seem a little low to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 AFC-W: I think Broncos are criminally low here. That said, this division is going to be so close, so perhaps Russ doesn't cook as much as we think he will in Denver? AFC-N: I think they got this one down right, assuming a lengthy suspension for Watson, though. If he only sits 4-6 games I think the Browns will be much better. Heck, I think they could go 6-11 with Brissett at the helm. AFC-S: Colts too low. I think they're a double-digit winner at worst. AFC-E: I love the Bills but I think they lose more than 2 games. That's a bit pie-in-the-sky. NFC-W: Cardinals will win more than 7 games, Seahawks will be lucky to win 4. NFC-N: Looks spot-on. NFC-S: Looks good but maybe a bit heavy on the Bucs. I have them winning 11-12. NFC-E: Flip Cowboys and Eagles and looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The Falcons don't have more than 2 wins on that schedule? It's almost impossible to not win 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Yeah, I can't see the Cowboys not taking the East. If they don't, Payton well be there before Christmas and may be anyhow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good effort, McCarthy, but not enough to save you from Payton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the Eagles look half decent on paper but they still have a ton of holes on defense, especially in the middle of the field and at safety. And I do think they overachieved a bit last season.

j4pac Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) It took the Saints having nothing at QB for 2/3 of the season, nothing at WR, no kicker, and a completely injured OL to barely miss the playoffs on a tiebreak last year. They could pretty easily content with the Bucs for that division with Thomas, Olave, and Landry along with Winston, Lutz, and the OL being back.

CaP'N GRuNGe Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I'll be disappointed if the Vikes finish 8-9. Then again it's the Vikes. I'm excited to see what the new coaching staff can do on both sides of the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docniner Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 They don't think Stafford's elbow will be an issue but I'd be concerned if I were the Rams. If he misses time because of it that'll be prime opportunity for my S.F. 49ers to win the division. I picked them to win before Stafford's elbow. Patriots won't win 10 games. Detroit finishes 3rd ahead of the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Bills might be over-ranked here but after pulling out some close wins they may get close to 15-2, the Broncos who I thought were too low may not be far off. The Falcons have already exceeded their prediction with only 6 games. The Giants are 5-1 already. Jets are going to blow their total out of the water likely.

stevegrab Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 6 wins for the Browns seems lofty now. They're playing very poorly and have a lot of tough games left. I could see 2-9 when Watson returns to face his old team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
