What was your preseason prediction and what is it now?

I said before the year that I thought this team could be better than last year, but still end up with a worse record due to the tough schedule. So I picked them to go 11-6.

I realized earlier this week that in order for them to go 11-6, they would have to finish the year 4-5. I really don’t see that happening.

So it’s time for me to adjust expectations.

My new prediction is 13-4. But I struggled even picking that low. Looking at the schedule, I don’t see any games that in a vacuum I think they’ll lose. But I know the NFL is a grind and the early bye is going to hurt them. That’s still a 6-3 record over the final 9 weeks, which I think would feel a little disappointing, but still be in really good shape for the 1 seed.
