Haven't seen this posted yet, but AccuScore has predicted every game for every team. They list us at 9-7.

Trying to be objective... we'll have trouble with the Bears and I don't see how we can beat the Broncos. I think we can handle Tampa Bay, but are about even with the Falcons... Saints* will give us trouble if the defense doesn't tighten up so we'll have to score a lot of points.

If things fall our way, we could go 10-6... if we catch some bad breaks, lose some close ones, 7-9... so anywhere in between there is reasonable I think.

I will personally be disappointed if we don't at least go 8-8.

The predicted records method is laughable, and produces laughably bad results. Disregarding whether or not their method for determining the outcome of individual games is solid, their method of predicting the record is terrible.

They just gave every team a win if they had over a 50% win probability, and conversely gave them a loss if they had less than a 50% probability. So that means if a team had a 55% chance to win every game, this method would say they would go 16-0, even though that percentage would indicate a 9-7 team.

Thus you have insane predicted records: 5 teams at 2-14 or worse, GB at 16-0, NE at 15-1 and hardly any middling teams.

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
