As sad as it is to say, I don't see Cadillac ever being 100% again, and that was their main offensive weapon. They are old at nearly every position on the field. At any rate, I see this being a game that could go either way.
As for Buffalo and Baltimore, we need to stack the box and force them to pass on us. The Ravens have a solid defense, but they are getting old and seem to be losing a step each year. This is the team that lost to Miami last year, if anyone forgot. As for Buffalo, they have a young defense, but they were one of the worst teams statistically on both sides of the ball last year and I just don't see them shutting down our running game.
I see us taking AT LEAST 3 out of the 4 against KC and Denver.
Houston is another game that could go either way. But their offense is weak. They have Ahman Green as their starting back, which is a joke. They don't have a great line, and Andre Johnson is overrated IMO. I think our run defense will have improved enough to overwhelm a shaky line and a crappy back. They have a young, talented defense, and we shall see how our running game stacks up against them.
Carolina - who is the QB? I don't know. DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart might present a problem for us. But I think they have an overrated defense as well, with a good End and MLB, and nothing else.
New Orleans - If Deuce makes it to week 6, we might be in for a tough game. If he doesn't, then it will be much easier. This team can't stay healthy. Reggie Bush and Deuce are both made of porcelain, I don't see both of them making it through the season. However, they have made some key upgrades, on defense specifically, with the addition of Vilma. Also with Shockey they have another weapon for Brees. This game, although we have a chance, I think we lose.
Jets, Falcons, Dolphins should be wins. Patriots we will lose. Chargers will more than likely win both games.
All in all, I think we have a great chance of going 8-8, with 9-7 or 10-6 possible if we catch fire and our offense starts to click. On the flipside, we may lose a couple close ones and see ourselves 6-10 or 7-9.
So my prediction is 8-8.
