6 would be disappointing. Giants, Atlanta x2, Browns without Watson, Seattle, Detroit, NO at home and Pittsburgh are all winnable games. That’s 8 winnable or maybe even should be won games. Add in Arizona who we always seem to beat even when we’re bad and you’d hope we get 7-8 at a minimum. Unless the OL gels incredibly and the DL finds more pressure, I also don’t think we have a chance for over 10 wins. I’d put it at 5-10 wins with 5-6 being disappointing, 7-8 being probable and 9-10 being a solid year.

Some might be surprised that Pittsburgh is on the list but Ben is gone and they really scraped by to get 9 wins last year. 2 OT wins with 1 Tie, Harbaugh went for 2 to lose by 1, beat Buffalo week 1 by 7 with a blocked punt and 4 more 1 score wins. Only one of the 10 wins/tie was by more than 1 score. 6 of their 8 losses were by more than one score. Regression to the mean and a new QB puts them squarely in the likely under .500.

You're right on about he Steelers. I put the Steelers in the 'possible' category, unlike the Rams or Bucs who are automatic L's.

NFC South is ripe for the taking.... saints suck, falcons suck...Brady's old lady is all in his head so not sure how the Bucs will be...

And that line is badly injured.

7 Winnable Games: Browns (wo Watson),2x Atlanta, Seattle, Giants, Steelers, Lions

Potential Upsets: 2xSaints, Cards, Broncos, Ravens, 9ers (which QB?)

Major Upsets: 2xBucs, Rams, Bengals (superbowl hangover?)

An INJURED Baker had 8 more touchdowns than Sam, we lost 6 games alone by less than a score.

I'm putting the Homer goggles on.

This is a 10 win team, and if things click 12 wins.

Key pieces (Baker, Horn, Shaq) go down for significan time, all bets are off. 

I would put those Bucs games in the potential upsets category. I don't think they'll be that great this season. It's over.

With no CMC last year, tons of Darnold mistakes, horrible Oline, we were within a TD on at least 3 or 4 loses.

With CMC and Baker and a somewhat competent Oline, a weaker NFC South, there is no reason to think we cannot double last years wins

I agree.
