Sep. 10 Jets
WIN - Home opener, it's the Jets.

Sep. 16 @49ers
LOSE - Handsome Jimmy G is Real.

Sep. 23 Patriots
LOSE - Tom Brady Bullshit.

Sep. 30 @Cowboys
WIN - I think this will be a close game but I love my Lions!

Oct. 7 Packers
LOSE - What do I need to say?

Oct. 21 @Dolphins
WIN - I think they'll win regardless, the MOV depends on how Tannehill looks.

Oct. 28 Seahawks
WIN - Home game with a Seattle defense that looks to be a shell of what it used to be.

Nov. 4 @Vikings
LOSE - I belive the Vikings are gonna be very good next year.

Nov. 11 @Bears
LOSE - I don't think the Bears will be good next year but it's an away divisional game :shrug:

Nov. 18 Panthers
WIN - Close-fought game, maybe an OT win?

Nov. 22 Bears
WIN - Not too worried about the Bears at home (famous last words).

Dec. 2 Rams
LOSE - The Rams terrify me.

Dec. 9 @Cardinals
WIN - Seems like a rebuilding year for the Cardinals.

Dec. 16 @Bills
WIN - Sorry Bills, your QB situation is a dumpster fire.

Dec. 23 Vikings
LOSE - Again, I really like the Vikings' odds of getting to the SB.

Dec. 30 @Packers
LOSE - lol.

So overall, an 8-8, extremely average season.

e: With a new coach it's always tough to predict this stuff. It seems like we shored up the line and running game so I'm hoping that'll help take some of the load off of Stafford/open things up a little bit. The defense still worries me but :shrug:

Heres some fun little predictions too. Make sure to properly credit me when they come true

Marvin lewis will favor an established veteran over playing a promising youngster. Exhibit a this season will be good old michael johnson.

Derek carr gets benched by week 12

Pat mahomes looks like deshaun watson last season thru week 6, then falls off hard midseason. Chiefs barely miss the playoffs.

Calvin ridley is oroty

Dallas completely falls apart. Garrett gets fired after week 7 going into the bye week

Joe flacco is out of his job by week 3 maximum

Here, let's talk about the Bills, but first, something to help you get into the head-space of the Buffalo Bills.
https://www.buffalobills.com/news/camp-countdown-no-20-3-reasons-kelvin-benjamin-will-excel-in-2018
The Bills are hyping up Kelvin Benjamin. Kelvin Benjamin, if you recall, had a good rookie year four years ago, and has spent the three years since injured and/or fat. On the rare occasions which he wasn't either hurt or fat, he was bad(just marginally less so). Kelvin Benjamin would be a good player to take a flier on. The Bills tell us we should be hyped, because Kelvin Benjamin is our #1 receiver(by default). He wasn't even our leading receiver last year(some dude who joined the team after him was, at least outside of Shady and always-hurt Charles Clay). So, let's take a look at the schedule.

@Baltimore Ravens
vs. Los Angeles Chargers
@Minnesota Vikings
@Green Bay Packers
vs. Tennessee Titans
@Houston Texans
@Indianapolis Colts
vs. New England Patriots
vs. Chicago Bears
@New York Jets

Bye
vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
@Miami Dolphins
vs. New York Jets
vs. Detroit Lions

@New England Patriots
vs. Miami Dolphins

I bolded games that seem winnable. You'll notice there are 7 of them. It's possible the Bills could randomly poo poo-house a much better team, and more likely still that they'll poo poo the bed against, like, the Colts or get torched by Mitch Trubisky for no apparent reason. So I'm going to go with 6-10. They'll start out dire, but finish "strong", and the offense will be putrid, because there are no receivers or quarterbacks.

General thoughts:

7 of the top 10 teams going in are in the NFC, meaning that it's going to be loving ridiculous for any other team to claw their way into the playoffs, and they'll all be beating up on each other and lowering their wins.

In the AFC, all the middle class teams have QB question marks, so I expect one of them to randomly have 10 wins, and the ones that gently caress it up to randomly have 4.

AFC:
E:
Patriots 12-4
Dolphins 8-8
Jets 7-9
Bills 6-10

N:
Steelers 11-5
Bengals 9-7
Ravens 7-9
Browns 5-11

Cleveland will make the playoffs along with Baltimore thanks to a dominating season by Lamar Jackson who is the second coming of whatever a great first coming was and that sounds dirty.

Cleveland will lose in the first round. Contracts will be renewed. Cleveland will be a failure for the following 5 seasons. Baker Mayfield will be a broken husk of a man, Hue will pursue aliens, Haslam will be a poo poo
