Out of curiosity, I just checked out the Vegas point spreads for games through week 16 posted today at ESPN.

http://espn.go.com/chalk/story/_/id/15877927/nfl-full-spreads-weeks-1-16-all-32-nfl-teams

If my quick tallies are accurate, Vegas predicts:

Panthers to go 13-2 (losses to Denver & Seattle)

Atlanta to go 3-11 with 1 game being a pick  - WOW.

New Orleans and Tampa Bay to each go 4-9 with two games each being picks.

I'd take it!


Seattle is at 12-3 (losses to NE, AZ, GB)

The Arizona page is messed up a bit, but I think they also are predicted at 12-3 (losses to Panthers, Vikings, Seattle)

BUT:  Packers look to be the NFC favorites through week 16, with 14 wins, no losses and 1 pick (against the Vikings)

Minnesota comes in at 12 - 2 with 1 pick.  (losses to Panthers, and Green Bay;  Pick with Green Bay)

I'd bet good money that there aren't 4 NFC teams with 12+ wins. 

Actually, you'd be betting that there aren't FIVE NFC teams with 12+ wins, since Panthers, Packers, Vikings, Seattle, AZ are all currently predicted to have at least 12 wins out of only 15 games played.  Week 17 isn't listed yet.

Amazing.

I've not looked at totals for any of the AFC teams yet.

I think he's saying there aren't going to be more than 3, i.e., the o/u is 3.5

Anywho . . . it may be arrogant, but right now idc about records because I think we're in the playoffs.  I just hope for everyone to be healthy, and be ready to push for that home field throughout!

Again...Vegas lines are NOT anyone's prediction of who will win the game.  They are an indication of the points expected to be needed to get even betting on both teams.

True.  My bad.  As will be obvious, I don't gamble - at least not through Vegas, I've been known to do some "friendly wagers" with family -  so forgive me for interpreting these projected point spreads incorrectly!

      No, I'm starved for contention. If you can't see that and keep wanting to turn things like this back around on T-Mac, then you're just either being purposefully obtuse, or is a fan who is happy having 5-6 win seasons just because we're so used to the 3-4 win seasons and you like "just being better"

      You mean the guy who took over a franchise that hadn't had a losing season in the previous 4 seasons... who proceeded to get his team into the playoffs in 3 of his first 4 seasons, only to win 2 games in said playoffs, to then go on to having a 54-74 career record and never won another playoff game after those first two? Who then after being fired from that job, took over a team that was 30-18 in the 3 seasons before he got the job, got into the playoffs that first season, lost their first postseasons game, and then went on to have a 6-26 record over the next 2 seasons? You're literally proving my point by bringing up someone who's claim to fame is that quote. If you just play to win the game, you're never going to be a successful franchise.  You need to play to win the game while ALSO working to make your players better.  Having the former without the latter is a picture perfect recipe to become a stagnant franchise. That's how you work towards being a winning franchise who can contend in the postseason.  And sure, having a stagnant franchise that makes the playoffs every other season is better than what we currently are, but that's not what I strive for with our Panthers, I want to actually contend for championships in my lifetime.
