12-4, baby. There's no science to this at all. My gut is week 1 will be our hardest matchup all season long. The Atlanta, Bears, Detroit, Chargers, Tampa, Giants, and Viking games are all tough ones as well. I'm just betting we win most of 'em. My most basic logic is you take a 10 win team from last year and maybe don't lose 15 guys to injury, who knows, those close losses become wins.

11-5

I see a few pussies who just put down the record instead of game by game. You've got nothing better to do on a Sunday. C'mon, have some fun with it!

I see 11-5 A split with the Bears almost a given and playing in KC will be tough.

---

You listed 10 wins and 6 losses. You really think we'll beat the Saints but lose to the Rams at home?

---

I usually wait 16 games for best results.


But since that's no fun, here's my best bet.

W - Denver Broncos
W - St Louis Rams
W - Minnesota Vikings
W - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

NFC North Standings:

Green Bay 12-4
Detroit 10-6*
Chicago 8-8
Minnesota 6-10

*I'm actually leaning more towards 9-7 but under this scenario we'd go into the final week against the Lions playing for the division crown. That's a far more entertaining prospect so 10-6 will be my official pick.

1. Philadelphia 13-3 (part hype, part they get to play the NFC West)
2. Green Bay 12-4
3. Atlanta 11-5
4. St. Louis 8-8
5. New Orleans 10-6
6. Detroit 10-6

Edit: You're missing Kansas City, I'm assuming you think we'll lose to them considering your total record prediction.
