@ Bills

Even if they split with the Jets and Bills (which honestly is a stretch, I'd expect 3-1 of those 4), the only games which they wouldn't be favored in are at the Chargers, at the Colts, and maybe home to the Steelers. The rest of the teams are dreadful.

at seattle will be a loss.

at jets will be a loss

at chargers will be a loss

at colts will be a loss

at bills will be a loss

You are right in that the schedule is pure cake. However, there are few offenses that revolve around their QB quite like the Pats revolve around brady. I think if you made a deal with Belichick right now and told him he can have no more or less than 10 wins, he would probably take it.

It will be interesting to see how bad they get.

So you are saying 11 wins. I was giving them a loss to Pittsburgh and a win at Seattle, plus a tossup win between the Bills, Jets, Chargers, Colts. I think they will still be fine...

and I'm a long suffering Bills fan.

You questioned Phils 12-4, but you just gave them only 5 losses (11-5)....that's splitting hairs don't you think?

Actually, yes, splitting hairs. To tell you the truth, i hadnt looked at the schedule Phil posted before I questioned the 12-4. After going through it, i only found 5 games that i thought were a pretty good chance that they would lose. I figured you can throw in anothe shocker and you have 10-6 which is where i think they will be.

Again, having said all of that, I hadnt done the research when questioning philly's 12-4 statement and i would concede he is more likely to be right.

Fair enough. I just thought it was funny.
