I think we split with each division opponent this year:  3 wins

I think we beat Cleveland and the Giants:  2 wins

We seem to own the cardinals:  1 win

We should beat Seattle:  1 win

We should win one game we’re not supposed too (I’ll say against the bengals):  1 win

 

8-9 is my vote. 

We lose to the Lions?

Personally, I think if we're going to lose the lions, we're going to lose a lot of those you listed as wins too.

IF....CMC stays healthy and the O line gels quickly..AND Baker is protected we're going to surprise a lot. I'll leave it at that.

If Baker stays healthy for the season, I'm guessing 7-10. I think we can still win a few games even after CMC is ruled out for the season.

7-10

Clean house. Mayfield shows enough to get a prove it contract elsewhere and we move on. Sam Darnold opens a Dumb & Dumber themed worm store in Aspen.

[MHS831]

9-8

So it was written.

[Panthering]

10-7 with a late push to secure a Wild Card game

7-10

I said I thought the Mayfield trade put us in the 4-8 win category and I think we will finish near the top of our potential at 7 wins.

that run defense tho. If we can’t stop the run we’re fuged. Week 1s are always a toss up but if we get gashed by a run heavy team like the browns it will not bode well for the rest of the year. 8-9 is my prediction. This schedule is really tough.

That's my main concern as well.  Lots of fans are writing in a W for the Panthers week 1 because the Browns don't have their QB.  But they have one of the better rushing attacks in the league, so if the score stays relatively close it may be difficult for the Panthers.

If Baker and the offense can get up by 2 TDs or something, they won't be able to just pound the ball and catch up.

5 to 7 wins. We get some early and then it dries up again like last year. If we lose to the Browns then all bets are off and it's going to get ugly. 

[Panthera onca]

8-9. Still too many holes, esp D line. Injuries will take a toll with CMC likely going out early.

[GOAT]

8-9

[Smithers]

11-6

Split with NO and Atlanta.

I can't see us winning either game with Tampa.

We seem to have the Cardinals number.

We should beat the Seahawks, Lions. 

I can't see us beating the 49ers, Rams, Bengals, Broncos, or Ravens.

Browns, Giants, Steelers are all toss-ups for me.

So between 8-9 and 5-12.

[Brooklyn 3.0]

Still thinking 9-8. That was my guess right after we signed Baker and it hasn't budged.
