I feel like this is the most unpredictable season in a long, long time. I have us at 8-8, but 6-10 or 12-4 wouldn't surprise me all that much, either.
Next to our team being a bit of a question mark with the coaching changes, addition of free agents and (probably) two first round rookies, a lot of our opponents could go anywhere from 6 wins to 12 wins, as well.
Take Washington. If Keenum shows even the slightest bit of what he did in Minnesota, that becomes a dangerous team. After all, they have a lot of the same parts as the team that went 6-3 before Smith got injured.
Patricia got in a lot of parts more to his liking this off-season (Read, Patriots-esque). The Lions aren't a great team on paper, but the same has been said about the Patriots many a time before they dominated the AFC yet again.
Oakland's a question mark, with lots of draft capital and a coach entering the second year, the Panthers are a different team every year (Last 7 years they haven't had two winning or losing seasons in a row), etc.
