Looking ahead, aside from the certainty that is a Pats arse whooping, the schedule is tough to call. Every year the look ahead is deceiving. Everyone had Arizona as a loss this year and turns out they kinda suck. That Cinci road game was supposed to be an L too, but they lost Green and fell apart.
Anyways, I could see Denver continuing to backslide. The Saints may decline with Brees a year older. Oakland should come back to the pack a bit. Agreed though that overall this looks tough and we'll probably go 8-8 again.
