This topic got off the rails quickly and is headed a completely different direction.

 

Anywho, it's a reach to compare Burrow and Baker. That said, if we have the healthy WR and RB group, a little luck with the line staying healthy where the rookie LT takes to it quickly, it shouldn't be a shitshow offense we saw last year or for large stretches of 2020. Thats worth a few wins as we let waay too many go last year with abominations on O.

The defense isn't poo either, thin as can be though up front. Part of the luck is having the right depth for the inevitable injuries. If things broke right, barstool isn't the only ones to think we have a punchers chance. Heard a few on the radio say we are a dark horse mostly cause of the defense, CMC, with the assumption that Baker is at least a top 20 QB. With the issues in ATL, no Peyton in NO, and the greybeards in Tampa getting hurt already, it could quickly turn into the another case where a sub 500 club could make it into the playoffs. The bucs are on Brady or bust for year 3. Father time will get to him someday, and if that's this year, the division is wide open.

Now it's a long shot, but so we're the bungles last year. Imo, it's all on Baker to make this work.

I just want competent, competitive football for now.  Playoffs and everything else can follow later.  I just don't want to watch a QB running for his life, constantly turning the ball over and wearing out our defense.  It was unwatchable at times last year...

Not sure but more times then not Vegas is dead on.  

It was 8.... Won 15...

Your statement is completely incorrect..... 272 games this upcoming season.... Even accounting for the .5 lines they are leaving out SEVENTY TWO wins with the current line.... 

 

Vegas is all about betting lines and heard fan opinion...

So Vegas had the Rams beating the Bengals in the SB last year?

Episode 5 Reaction GIF by The Office

Rams were a top 3 team to win the super bowl the Bengals bottom 3

 

All in all sure there are exceptions but I bet if you go through the win totals preseason they would be more right then wrong

 

They had us at 6 IIRC  edit it was 5.5

You are proving my point, this thread is about two things projected win totals and Vegas season start super bowl "odds".

 

In 2015 Vegas odds had the Panthers winning 8 games.... (We won 15).

 

The highest projected win totals for the Panthers....

 

9.5 (2004)

and 

 

11 (2016) 

 

Tell me again how they are always spot on?

I said "for the most part" I sure as hell said there were not 100%,  I clearly indicted there were exceptions to the rules.  But for the most part they are pretty accurate

One season of data that just by glass is 50/50...

 

I'll import a larger data set and use an excel SQL spreadsheet to break it down for you over a larger sample size.

      NHL Goalie Tiers: The Game

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The Athletic posted their goalie rankings for the season... The description of the tiers are as follows... Where would you rank Freddie and Pyotr? And don't cheat and look up the article. I'll post their ranks and the link in a bit.

      Chances against the Cowboys

      By frankw · Posted

      Refs will be in their pocket. Always have to account for that. They are 20th in rush defense. They currently have the worst pass defense in the league. I mean I want to say even Bryce could at least put up 250 or more passing yards given that but man he looked BAD when the pocket collapsed against Miami and they had the 20th pass defense. Just can't expect to consistently get clean pockets like that in this league even with the better OL's. I'd say with this being a home game hopefully our guys will be motivated regardless. We certainly seem to play much better at home. We'll see.

      Did the Panthers get Mike McDaniel fired now?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      They'd never do it, because it really would be insane to do, but if I'm the Commanders, I'd seriously consider trading Daniels after this season, especially as he'd get a HUGE return for him. He's RG3 part 2, with his body type and style of game, I just can't see how he holds up long term, he's going to end up having a seriously injury prone career. It would take some massive balls (or pure insanity) to pull the trigger on trading him, but I do think 5 years from now it would be looked back upon as a smart trade.
