Oh I thought you were a lawyer. Didn't you go to law school and that's why you were too busy for Couch Coaches/The Sports Collective

Or was that your version of the rejection hotline? Hahaha

 

Just occurred to me that was probably you trolling Julian and I fell for it too

 

What? I dont think anyone was trolling Randy

Philly 2-14? I think they're going to be bad but not that bad. We will see.

 

Cleveland winning 1 game. Awesome

 

I think Philly can at least split with the division opponents. They can also beat the Browns.

 

They'll each win a couple more for sure but I think Cleveland, Philly, and SF are the clear cut Top 3 draft picks. Plus, I'm just going game by game and picking who I think should win that game without going into too much detail. It's hard to look at Cleveland and say they should win a game.

I had them beating the Browns and splitting with the Giants.

 

8-8 for the Jags would be believable but not acceptable for me. I want 9 wins and yes that includes having to beat some teams that were clearly better than us last year.

Because we are clearly better than us last year.

 

I'm gonna say 12-4 for Carolina

 

I think Miami beats:

Cleveland
Tennessee
NY Jets (once)
Buffalo (once)
San Diego
San Francisco
Baltimore


7-9

 

Have to think AFC north will be pretty tight this year. I think the Ravens are gonna bounce back a bit and I'm expecting the Steelers and Bengals to be a little down from last year.

 

Oakland at 11-5 is the craziest thing on here for me (besides that the bad teams will probably all win more than 1 or 2 games). I think 6-10 is more likely than 11-5 for Oakland, and .500 or slightly below is probably what happens

 

Oakland's defense has potential to be really good. And if Carr continues to grow the offense will be top 15. I could see them going anywhere between 6-10 and 10-6. Just depends if they have what it takes to finish close games.

 

Last year they weren't terrible and still had a lot of 50/50 games. It's not easy to establish dominance and get that vibe of confidence across the locker room. I think it should sooner than later if all the talent and chemistry pull through but it'll be a hell of a job for Jack deal rio if they're that good in just his second season.

 

We'll definitely see. The "winners" of free agency haven't fared very well over the past few years, and idk if they can out-defense Denver or KC, even after their additions.

 

I could see them going 11-5 or 7-9 again. I think 11-5 is more likely though. Their schedule is easy before the bye, if they were 8-1 going into their bye, I wouldn't be shocked.

 

Those look like easy opponents but it's also a lot of traveling. West coast teams can struggle when they play in the east. Oakland has @NO, @Ten, @Bal, @Jax, @TB in the first 8 games. That seems brutal as far as traveling is concerned.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if the opening game in Nola is 100 combined points lol

 

I think the Eagles win anywhere between 5-8 games. Eight games is obviously aiming REAL high but I just think the defense keeps them in games and the offense does enough to pull a few out that they probably shouldn't.

The NFC East seems to cannibalize itself every god damn year so who knows what happens there, especially if any of the QBs get hurt again.

But I think CLE, CHI, PIT (No Martavis/Bell), DET, ATL are all winnable games.

 

How does one win games with Sam Bradford/ chase Daniel

 

How does one win eight games? Though I do think Chicago, Detroit, and Atlanta are winnable games. Obviously they beat Cleveland. But still, I think 3-5 wins is their range this year.

 

They'll probably pick up at least 2 division games too.

 

I think they split the divisional games.

Not saying they are better than any other team in that division but this stuff just seems to happen in the NFC East.

 

Well they won 7 last year with Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez along with the 31st or 32nd ranked defense.....the defense this year literally cannot get any worse than it was last year.

By the way, despite the dummy money they gave to Daniel, I do think that if Bradford gets hurt that Wentz overtakes Daniel on the depth chart by the midpoint of the season.

Unless Bradford stays healthy all year (lmao), I don't see any way they keep Wentz on ice the whole year.
