If and when they get to playoffs again, they have to play teams outside the div! the good teams lol outside the div.
they need 6-8 wins outside the div to be a good team.

Now look at the schedule and tell me which 6-8 teams they will beat outside the div lol.

Dallas can count on 3 maybe 4 div wins, but the most would be 6.
6+6 = 12 wins. 4+6= 10 wins

So aside from div games, do you see 6 wins?
If they cant win outside the div, they either wont make playoffs, or they will be one and done.

I see 6-7 potential wins, outside div, but not sure they can do it. Big maybe.

The only non-divisional game where I don’t see much of a chance is at Kansas City. And yes, I think we have a good chance of beating the Bucs on opening night.

I think we can beat both TB and KC.
KC defense is not all that great. So we can score on them. Thing is will our defense improve enough to make a few stops on their offense.

W's 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18 = 10 wins 4-2 in the division. And they most likely need that 18 win @PHL to win the division or qualify for the playoffs.

I have them losing to TB, CAR, NE, MIN, KC, WAS, NYG. None of the wins are against playoff teams and we get "26 years of woe be to us" for the off season.

A better question is which ones CANT they win? Pats and Chiefs are the ONLY games on the entire schedule I would put down as a likely loss. But truth be told, they could win both of those.

Sometimes it comes down to just one or two stops, Im banking on this defense providing that this season.

Hate to copy and paste but this was my way too early schedule breakdown....

Tough call. When you break down the schedule we play 5 teams that finished above .500 last year....

11-5 @TB
14-2 @KC
8-8 LV
12-4 @NO
8-8 AZ

We get LV and AZ at home where we should have an advantage.

We play 5 teams that finished 7-9 last year....

WFT X 2
@Chargers
@NE
@Minnesota

Four of those game are on the road where they have the advantage.

Then we play 7 teams with losing records.

4-11-1 Philly X 2
5-11 Carolina
6-10 NYG X 2
5-11 Denver
4-12 Atlanta

Except for the Giants and Philly they are all at home.

If we split the division games we have 3 Ws and winning the games we should Carolina, Denver and Atlanta we have 6 Ws.
Getting past LV and AZ we're at 8.
Now we need to go on the road at TB, at KC, at NO, at the Chargers, at NE, and at Minnesota (or sweep one of the division games) to get 9.

Minnesota and NO look doable, the Chargers and NE possibles.
Tampa Bay, early is good for us. Brady doesn't worry where he lands in the play-offs, just get there.

But I digress. No way I'm predicting 14-3 if we come out all schizoid and start this 1W, 1L garbage like passed years.
I like our chances at 10.
