@@evanchristensen1334 we had one of the hardest schedules last year lmao and the first 10 weeks we have a cupcake schedule by week 10 we’ll have 6 wins already and we went 5-1 in the division last year and we haven’t had a losing season in over a decade
9 bare minimum, 12 ceiling I think 10-11 wins is extremely fair for us, we had 10 with Canada and extremely bad qb play Yes our schedule is hard but the first half I only expect 2-3 losses.
@@JoeC1127 the most likely outcome is 9-10 wins either just miss the playoffs or lose the wildcard game like they’ve done for almost a decade straight now
@@stevensawyer5784 I think 10 is possible but my hopes are at least 11 We’re simply a better team then we were last year, even with a tougher schedule we should win a lot of the games people have us losing
Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”
I know the Chiefs lost sneed, but the depth they have at DB is nuts, McDuffie will move outside with a still likely combo of Watson and Williams on the other side, and a mix of Nazeeh and Chamarri in the slot. Even losses like Willie Gay have a good plan B with chenal. If any team was ever gonna 3 peat, it's this one
I’m not gonna lie the jags would be lucky if they got to 8 wins look at their schedule there’s no way they beat the bills or the dolphins and they usually get upset by teams they should beat I’m sorry but I don’t see it. Lions fan btw
Why do people think the schedule is harder for the lions than the packers The Dolphins are better than Bills because the bills lost a lot of their players Detroit plays Cowboys, Buccaneers, and Bills Packers play Eagles, Saints, and Dolphins Cowboys
Vegas probably spot on to 75%ish( maybe 70) on win totals and comes down to that half win on many occasions and this dude giving himself a 3 win umbrella 😂😂. Love the early talk on 🏈 ( 78 ? days away) but can't take this seriously.
I really must be missing something with Green Bay... a 7th seed that beat a 2nd seed that always underperforms in playoffs, has the same range as the 49ers and better than Detroit, Philly etc. I don't think they're bad or anything but the same range as the 49ers and higher than Detroit in particular is off to me. I think they're being overhyped based on one win.
Idk who the Dolphins are facing in week 2, but they're facing the Jags on week 1. That game could honestly go either way, but I think the Dolphins just edge them out at home on week 1.
Lions schedule is easier then the packers haha. And he always just hates on the lions. Because he always talks out his ass when talking about the lions.
I have to say I'm shocked... I came here to see the Raiders predicted 6 wins and the Chargers predicted 10 wins - maybe 5 years of evidence is finally having an effect! 🤣 Having said that, I'm 8-11 on the Raiders - the addition of Wilkins to the DL will be huge, and if Bowers hits the ground running, it will be tough for any team to match up on defense.
@@trevorcuster8569 Do you understand what you're replying to or disagreeing with? "We" (the Raiders) weren't in the playoffs, so no one knocked us out of them. The Raiders have clearly been the 2nd best team in the AFC West over the last 5 years, despite almost always being tipped to finish last. We've finished 2nd outright 3 times, and tied with Denver once, whilst the Chargers have had one good season with a 2nd place finish, despite being tipped to get 10+ wins every year. The Goat House has been one of the most consistent Chargers/Herbert worshippers, and Raiders hater over the last 5 years, which is why I was shocked that he didn't do the same again this year.
Colts won 9 games with Minshew and that was with a terrible ending to the Texans game and the browns game blown by the refs. Easily over 8 wins for the colts
Also keep in mind that it’s not all about the team getting better. It’s other teams around the league as well. That said, I can see the Colts making the playoffs depending on AR being healthy.
@@dougieman927 Lmao that’s just wild to say. Do you want every person’s take on the NFL to be identical? How boring that would be? It’s a one game difference, check your bias.
I don’t think he does. It’s just his own analysis on what he sees in the team. The Steelers have a brutal final eight games to end their season that includes their entire division they are in, the Eagles at Philadelphia, and the defending champion chiefs. The Steelers would be lucky to have seven wins before entering that gauntlet stretch.
I compared the Vegas predicted wins vs actual between 2000-2022 and they only get about 1/3 within +/-2 wins, and they're 4 or more wins out on nearly a quarter of their predictions - that is missing a window of 8 wins!! Folks are just guessing.
My concern with the Browns is that they have an extremely rusty DeSean Watson playing quarterback and despite a star-studded roster, the QB play may effectively drag the team down, plus their schedule isn’t that easy and they could struggle in games down the stretch. It’s hopeful that the rest of the Brown team will be good more than the QB being bad.
6.5 does seem super low, I think if AP can continue getting that defense to play like it was towards the end of the season they have a really good chance to get 10-12. I think they match up against the division really well and even with Okayish QB play last year they were a good team. Just Happy McDaniels is gone
How can you play this W-L game 4 months from opening day? they must not not be counting on any team's best players going down at any point during the season like Rodgers did in week 1 last year
I don't agree that the Vikes D got figured out late - they just ran out of players - Hicks out at LB, the CB room was short and not deep, and the Edge rotation was down to Pat Jones. All of that has ben addressed in the offseason and Flores added a lot of bespoke players. The question is at QB, and most folks seem to assume Jets Darnold, but 2022 Panthers Darnold went 4-2. That would at least equate to 11-6 or 12-5 with the Vikes roster. How much different is 26 year old Darnold, from 30 year old Kirk Cousins who arrived at the Vikes with a 26-30 record? Kirk didn't really emerge from a .500 QB until KOC arrived. Could KOC do the same thing with Darnold?
I ended up doing this for fun because why not, and this is what I came up with. AFC North: Bengals 13-4 Ravens 13-4 Steelers 8-9 Browns 8-9 Bengals are healthier this year and will be better for sure. They were the last place team to have a winning record last year. Having both at 13-4 could make sense. Bengals ended up getting division due to better division record (4-2 to 3-3). Meanwhile, Steelers will one day finish below .500, and it was supposed to happen last year. It ended up happening this time with the Week 18 loss to the Bengals. They did however get third thanks to being 3-3 in division. AFC East: Bills 12-5 Jets 10-7 Dolphins 9-8 Patriots 4-13 I don’t think the Bills are done yet, so they get another 2-seed this year. But it will be more of the same from them I feel. Rodgers stays healthy and that ends up being the difference as they get the final playoff spot in a 25-24 showdown at home against Miami. AFC West: Chiefs 12-5 Raiders 11-6 Chargers 5-12 Broncos 4-13 We usually have at least one big surprise come out of nowhere to make the playoffs. We had the Jaguars in 2022, then the Texans last year. For 2024, my pick up ended up being the Raiders. 😂 AFC South: Titans 9-8 Jaguars 9-8 Colts 9-8 Texans 8-9 Yeah, this division was a mess 😂 But then again, that’s kinda been the case the last few years. The Colts did awful in the division play at 1-5, hence their 3rd. However, they did play spoiler on the Jaguars and knocked them out as well, and the Colts every week was a shootout pretty much. They scored 574 points throughout the season and allowed 569. That Week 18 win against the Jaguars that was their only division win was 48-45. As for the Texans, they ended up like the Jaguars of last year, starting well only to fall later on, allowing the Titans to surprise everyone with the division win. NFC West: 49er’s 12-5 Rams 10-7 Seahawks 7-10 Cardinals 6-11 3 of the 9’er’s losses ended up being division losses, not that it mattered. They still got the 1-seed in the NFC again. Rams were exactly as they were last year, and Seahawks more had the unfortunate circumstance of just having better teams win against them. Cardinals played as a fun team to watch outside the division, but were woeful inside going 1-5. NFC South: Falcons 12-5 Bucs 9-8 Saints 5-12 Panthers 4-13 Basically Saints ended going the way of last year’s Panthers, expected to do well when they went downhill. Panthers do better than they did last year, but still have lots of room for improvement (which showed for itself from finishing 0-6 in the NFC South). Speaking of, I have noticed a historical trend with the Falcons when they have a good year. They tend to start 6-4 and move on to 8-5. Usually in those years 11-5 has come to follow while 10-6 has also happened for them. This year, I went the 11-5 route. Their final game was against the Panthers and they were actually in some control of their own destiny. Because of this, I gave them that 12th win to become a 2-seed. Bucs actually lost to the Saints in the final week because they were locked in the Wild Card and rested their starters against the Saints. NFC North: Lions 11-6 Packers 11-6 Bears 7-10 Vikings 7-10 Lions continue their winning ways from last year, so I had them win the division this time again. It ended up being down to the wire though because they and the Packers both had a 4-2 division record. Bears ended up more disappointing not being able to build on their momentum from last year, but still got the nod to finish ahead of the Vikings. NFC East: Eagles 10-7 Giants 6-11 Cowboys 6-11 (Feel free to point and laugh) Washington 5-12 This is basically what the Eagles of last year would have been had there been no competition to their division title. So basically, they’re almost a repeat of last year’s team. As for the Cowboys, I don’t know why it worked out the way it did, but I have them being the big disappointment of the NFL in 2024. Probably won’t happen, that’s how it ended up. The Giants like the Cardinals played as a fun team to watch while also having no hope for the playoffs. Commanders ended up having a good record in the division at 4-2 just like the Giants, but outside that they were dreadful. Playoffs: Ravens beat Titans Chiefs beat Raiders Bills beat Jets Packers beat Eagles Lions beat Rams again Falcons beat Bucs Chiefs beat Bills again Ravens beat Bengals Lions beat Falcons Packers get revenge on the 49er’s Ravens get revenge on the Chiefs in Arrowhead Lions get it right this time and beat the Packers Ravens win Super Bowl over the Lions 35-31.
I never bet o/u on win/loss, but I do bet, very early, on Div winners. I've hit it more than once in the last few years, but this year has been the hardest to predict by far. My div winners are: Dolphins, Bengals, Texans, KC, Eagles, Lions, Bucs, and Rams. While I'm fading the Bills, Ravens, Falcons, and 49rs, I'm also taking action on the Jets, Colts, Steelers, Packers and you really can't count out the Bears or the Chargers. I can see any one of those teams winning their division. Especially, the Jets and Colts. It's a mess. The 24-25 season has been the hardest to predict out of the last 5.
I completely agree with the chargers. This might sound a little far-fetched, but in my opinion they are closer to super bowl contender than they are to number 1 pick status. I think herbert will have his most consistent season of his career, even if the stats don't jump off the page. I think at least one or two of these receivers will flash. I think the defense will be much improved. I also think they will be within the 8-9 range this year because I think they will be one of those teams who absolutely demolish bad teams but aren't quite good enough to beat some of the teams they play like chiefs, bengals, ravens. It's only up from here though
@@Bearswillwinthesuperbowl Whole new season. Chicago can look like a better team and still end up with the same record; you could call it unlucky or you can actually account for the fact that more than one NFL team gets better every offseason. OP’s comparison was between Atlanta and Chicago which is what’s confusing.
how is the saints going down after winning 9 games last season, and having close games with the Texans,Packes, & lions? and bucs thats all playoff teams and we got better so how wont we win 10-11 games? and how is atlanta better than us? all they added that would be a good value is Kirk we added more to! we have a whole new offensive staff and a better Oc now! we will see whodatt, like how we are declining? because look at Dc4 stats the last 5 games! we should be like 10-7 r 11-6
@@2ndBornn so if kirk fails we also have penix who so far is throwing even better then expected in camp. and bro are you really comparing ridder to kirk? kirk isnt a mobile qb anyway. he stays in the pocket and his arm didnt get hurt. he also throwing great
@@drew388 he still has to move in the pocket! and rmb he doesnt have jj nomo! his hirst year with ATL and thats whatt makes it better for the saints they gonna murder kirk! i think we gonna split this season tho! save defense better, gotta better Wr1 & 2! better defensive coach we gne see
The Saints are in a tough situation with Derek Carr and you guys refuse to rebuild. Still don’t like Dennis Allen as HC and don’t know who your OC is. Even if y’all gotten better, I still don’t think y’all will be as good imo. Y’all can prove me wrong tho.
