I give us an over all split with NO/ATL.  Not saying we will split with each, necessarily.  But we will end those games 2-2.

I think we will take both from TB.  So, 4-2.

Redskins, Ravens, Seahawks, Browns, Giants, Cowboys I feel confident about. 10-2

Steelers, Eagles I would realistically expect a loss.  Both are away games.  10-4.

This leaves Bengals and Lions.  Lions are away, Bengals are home.  I could see these going either way, but a split seems realistic.  11-5.

I *feel* we are a 10 win team minimum.  Anything less and I will be disappointed.  Granted my predictions will probably be all wrong (and are based on staying healthy).  We'll probably do something weird like lose to TB and Browns.  Sweep NO.  

Of course staying healthy is important to all teams.  I just feel extremely fragile in OLine and Secondary (as I am sure most people do).  I think our OLine and DBs can do enough to get us a win. I think our offense will be amazing this year, and our front 7 will do a bunch to help our secondary, but any injuries in those two areas and we are in a LOT of pain (in comparison to injuries at other spots, example: I could see CJ getting hurt [knock on wood] or a WR going down and us not missing TOO much of a step).

This was my original prediction from the preseason prediction thread.  Our OLine and Secondary has not been as bad as I originally thought it would be.

So far, we have lost 1 game I felt we should have won (Redskins).  We have won 1 game I thought we would lose (@Eagles).

So looking forward, we have Lions, Seahawks, Bucs, Browns, Saints, Falcons, Saints.  And we are currently 6-3.

I am originally felt we'd split Lions/Bengals.  Changing that to winning both.  That is 7-3.

Bucs, Browns, Seahawks I feel should be wins.  10-3.

That leaves Saintsx2 and Falcons.  I still think we will split games over all with these two teams for a total of 2-2..which means we will go 2-1 in these.  My thought process is that we play the Saints at home first.  So we have a solid shot at winning that game.  But if we lose it, Saints will most likely have their seeding locked down by week 16 and rest major players.  

12-4, after doing better than I thought we would going into the season is my prediction.  With 11-5 being conservative with a fluke loss.

      @PantherChrisgrow the fug up.  We read you whine and bitch about so much all the time, let someone have their own take on things instead of being a petulant child.

      RODS gotta GO

      Florida is the only team that would be doing that to us, and it happens when we are down Chatty, Walker isn't 100% and our top players are being molested in plain view on the ice. Florida is bigger and just as fast as we are, they have the two biggest agitating arseholes in the NHL in Marchand and Tkachuk, have a solid coach and a lot of nice pieces that make that team the best in the East by a good margin this year and possibly back to back Cup champions.  I fail to mention Zito who has been aggressive in getting Marchand and Seth Jones plus other players at the deadline to fill in any weaknesses. We have taken the long term, we have a shot every year approach and keep coming up short.  This is the summer to come away with the last needed pieces and if that takes sacrificing some prospects and picks we have to do it.  We have Freddie who is a very good goalie, but I still think young Kooch needs more time - he shows flashes but he still isn't right between the ears yet. This is definitely it for Orlov, not sure about Burns although he has looked it the last half of the season.  It would be nice to be able to get rid of KK somehow.  Svech has never become the guy I thought he'd be so a pure scorer would be nice.  I still like where this organization is EVEN with RBA coaching.  Do we discredit everything the guy has done in years where we weren't supposed to make the playoffs let alone win some series etc??  We need a bit more size, but I like we added Walker, Carrier, and Robinson who all had some good experience and didn't mind showing some grit.  Who's Back:    Forwards:  Aho, Svech, Jarvy, Blake, Hall, Carrier, Staal, Marty, Stankoven (need to sign to a bridge at least), KK  (really need to trade him this summer or next year for sure, his NMC kicks in 26-27) Defensemen:  Slavin, Walker, Chatty, Ghost, Nikishin, Morrow Goalies:  Freddy, Koochy Potential: Forwards:   Nadeau (he was like a -20 in Chicago so he'll have to really earn Rod's trust), Robidas, FUS didn't have a great season, Bring back Roslovic?, Jost for cheap?? Defensemen:  Technically Nikishin and Morrow, but I have them replacing Orlov and Burns above, Honka, Probably will sign one who plays good D and doesn't break the bank Goalies:  Khazheyev?, Sign one possibly?? tl;dr:  Bottom line is we are definitely going to need to sign a Defenseman or two, and 2-3 Forwards with 2 being scorers and hopefully taller than 6'0".  We have really good depth at forward, we are thinning out at D, and our goalies.....I am just not sure.

      You never really know when a team is going to turn a corner and make a deep playoff run.  I say take a swing, this could be like Tillman in 2015
