I stand by what I said though with the "leaked" schedule. I think 11 wins gets us in the playoffs. I think 13 wins gets us the division title.
I think we can get to 14-3. Hard to see losses to teams outside of our division besides the Chiefs, maybe AZ and GB. I'm glad we get the Bears early.
I'm just looking at the rest of the AFC, and considering which of last years playoff teams are in prove it mode. The AFC South and West (with the exception of the Chiefs) need to have improved, otherwise it could be 3 teams coming out of the North again.
Tough to tell what order our division will land. Do the Steelers and Ravens still have that staying power, or are they trending down after less than stellar playoff performances? And do we continue our rise?
All I knows is, we NEED to have a season where we score more points than we allow, as the ONLY AFC playoff team from last year to not do so (-11)
All that said, I see a 13-4 Division title.
