All of the national media is all over the Falcons as being a playoff team. I just don't see it. I can some what understand the Saints, but not the Falcons.

[Mr. Scot]

Wonder if Verge was in on that conversation

They also have the Broncos tied with the Chiefs.

That is outrageously bad…

Chiefs have only had 1 season 10-7 or worse (9-7) and it was with Alex Smith early in their rebuild under Reid, never have had under 12 wins with Mahomes as starter, that’s not changing this year.

 

AFCN is not going to have 4 10+ win teams… There are 12 guaranteed losses (assuming no ties) in the division, so they have across the 4 teams only 12 losses to non-Division teams all year (average 3 per team or an average record of 8-3 outside the division… yeah right)

 

no reason Cowboys and Vikings will drop off that much, Falcons aren’t making the playoffs, Cards and Raiders will not be that bad. Woof

7 wins sounds perfectly reasonable, but I wouldn't be shocked at 5 or 6 wins. So long as Young isn't injured from poor pass blocking I'll consider the season a success. The Bengals and Chiefs will be the fun teams to watch.

I would love to see the Vikings drop to 7-10 (I live there). Doubt it happens though.

Well, predictions like this aren't created to be accurate.  They are created to generate hits and discussion.  This one will likely succeed.  Unless Mahomes gets injured, the odds of the Chiefs finishing 10-7 are pretty slim.

As for our division, I think it's wide open. I could see any one of the four winning it and it probably depends to a great extent on qb performance for each team.

Why are some of these national pundits so high on the Falcons. What am I missing? Their defense is old and shitty, their QB is unproven and likely not good.

Because nobody is putting faith in a aging Saints roster with Derek Carr running the show.

 

Falcons are loaded on both sides of the ball the only question is QB. They have young skill position players in London/Pitts/Robinson. If Ridder gets the ball out quick that offense should be the best in the division.

7-10 is actually where my head is at tbh. I could see us maybe going +1/-1 /... but thats seems to be the range.

The real x factor is the health of our players

[ForJimmy]

7-10 is a popular choice in the NFC. It looks like they are predicting 6 of the 16 teams to finish with that record.

Predictions are almost always either 7-10 or 10-7.
