Yep, thanks, no doubt... gotta be 10-6.

Many things are brand new inside/out of the division.

WTF? It's just a stupid idea/thread. No one can "really" predict the end result of a season at the start of training camp. So if you are worried about your football knowledge being questioned because you guessed 8-8 and they went 10-6, no reason to fret. If you insist, you can just go start another poop thread.

Then why did you start such a thread? Don't freak out because I qualified my response to wait and see.

10-6, AFCW champs. There's no excuses, this team is stacked. We just gotta stay healthy.

Because thats what I do best, start stupid/fun threads.;)

There is a pretty strong chance that the Chiefs start the season 2-4, 1-5, or 0-6. Thankfully for you guys, the schedule does get a whole lot easier the second half of the year when you only have 5 games against playoff caliber teams in the last 10 weeks.

Meh, while we are only 1 point underdogs to Atl, I'm not going to come unglued if we lose that one. There's no way in hell we are going 1-5 or 0-6 though...Not sure what your definition of 'pretty strong odds' are but you have to be wrong....'Pretty strong chance' to me means over 50%, something like 60%.....

ATL - W
@Buf - W
@No - L
SD - W
BAL - L*
@TB -L*

I could see us being 3-3 and in the thick of it very easily..... A couple of lucky breaks and we could even win @TB or at home against BAL...(the *'s)...


On the flip side, were you aware that the over/under on how long manning's neck holds out is like 8.5 games?

And Denver could very easily start 1-4.

10-6 and I think I'm being conservative. I'm tempted to say 11-5.

3-3 is probably the best case scenario to me. None of those games will be cakewalks. Buffalo is probably the easiest game you have but that is their home opener and they signed Mario Williams. Gonna be a tough team to beat under those circumstances.

NE is the only game that I am going to mark down as a loss. Denver is going to be a very tough team to prepare for early in the year because there is no film for teams to look at to see what we like to do. Not just offensively with Manning, but defensively as well because we have Jack Del Rio now.


Three of Denver's first four games are at home as well.

Obviously, since you didn't even put it as a possibility in your original post....

3-3 is reasonable

0-6 is a crazy outlier

2-4 is pretty reasonable

4-2 is as reasonable as 2-4

6-0 is just as crazy as 0-6....

See a pattern?

You are a crazy person?

Clarification:

Before the break, we lose to Baltimore and New Orleans, and maybe lose one of the others.
After the break, we lose to Pittsburgh, and the away games to San Diego and Denver.
I figure we'll upset one of these teams, but then drop one game that we should win elsewhere in the season.
10-6, maybe 11-5.
