my gut thought (without looking at the schedule) is 6-10 or 7-9.
my 'actually look at the schedule' thought is as follows:
Wk1: SD @ KC - loss (0-1)--closer than many would imagine, we keep it within 10 points
Wk2: KC @ CLE - win (1-1)--defense and special teams FTW
Wk3: SF @ KC - loss (1-2)--san fran has a chance to be really good.
Wk4: BYE
Wk5: KC @ IND - loss (1-3)--could be a blowout for indy, however we may keep it close due to it's being after the bye AND the umpires neutering peyton manning... heh, not really.
Wk6: KC @ HOU - loss (1-4)--houston should be good, they always play us tough. plus, second game of 2-game roadtrip. those are ALWAYS tough
Wk7: JAC @ KC - win (2-4)--jacksonville always plays us tough, but they likely aren't that great this year.
Wk8: BUF @ KC - win (3-4)--if our defense is clicking, we may give their young o-line fits (haha, I'm likely full of shit). either way, this is the type of game a good team wins. I'm not convinced we're a good team, but this is me being completely optimistic.
Wk9: KC @ OAK - loss, but I'm IFFY on this one. I have the feeling oaktown won't be as good as advertised this year. 3-5
Wk10: KC @ DEN - loss. 3-6. we always lose in denver, this is no different.
Wk11: ARI @ KC - win. 4-6. I have the feeling arizona won't be that great this year. I have the feeling, though, that we could lose this one AND the buffalo game, which would have us at 2-8.
Wk12: KC @ SEA - win (damn I'm optimistic... 5-6). I don't think seattle will be that good this year. this should be a very close game, though, unless cassel breaks out (HA).
Wk13: DEN @ KC - win (6-6). we always beat denver at home in december.
Wk14: KC @ SD - loss (6-7). sandy eggo is tough, no doubt.
Wk15: KC @ STL - win (7-7). st. lose should be shitty again this year
Wk16: TEN @ KC - win (8-7). OPTIMISM: chris johnson will be completely down for the count at this point, and we're able to tee-off on vince young.
Wk17: OAK @ KC - win (9-7). jesus ****, I had no idea that thing I just smoked was a crack pipe. if we're playing decently at this point, we have a chance to surprise some people.
if we somehow beat san diego week one, it could be 10-6
maybe it's some of my former youthful optimism, but the schedule says winning record to me. my head (ignoring schedule, which will likely be tougher than it appears) says 7-9. with some good breaks (and the shitty teams playing to form, and us NOT being shitty), 9-7.
