Before the season, many people figured a 4-2 start given the front loaded schedule with the number of road games they play.
Considering the injuries, and the what they’ve been able to accomplish, 4-2 at the bye would set them up nicely to make a serious run at the end of the season:
- Green Bay (Primetime out of the bye)
-Jets
-Vikings
-Browns (no Watson)
-Lions (Thanksgiving)
-Jets
-Patriots (Primetime/ TNF)
-Jets
-Dolphins
-Bears
-Bengals (Primetime/ MNF)
-Patriots
Are any of those teams going to be favored? I don’t think so. They still need to show up, but I don’t foresee any of those teams having a very unstoppable offense or players that could wreck the game for Allen and company.
Even the teams there that originally many perceived to be difficult games appear to so far not be what we thought they were (Green Bay, Cinci, Minny).
I think 4-2 at the bye could roll into 13-4 and the #1 seed.
