2007 Predictions

[brady_branch]

Let's hear them.

[Old Hoss]

I have 13 regular season wins and of course I picked them to win the big one. Who else would I pick?? :goteam:

[efin98]

Chargers is winnable if New England focusses on the present and forgets the past(hint hint Chargers!)

Colts at the Colts is a toss up, Manning's head plays huge role...

Ravens are up in the air, not the same team they beat last year so winable

The Steelers scare me, always play New England hard(except when it counts!)

The Cowboys down in Big D is losable if they don't take advantage of the "rookie QB"(he's still a rookie to them, only a few games as starter)

That's 5 trouble games. The rest are winnable. That puts them at least at 11-5, probably 12-4. Could do better if they focus and don't make mistakes.

They win the east, might get 1st round bye, and could get to AFC championship...depending on matchup they could easily make it to Super Bowl and with their experience could win it all...but I won't set that in stone, only playoffs

Are you not concerned about the Eagles?

I guess I am really pesismistic, but I have them going about 10-6, with a veteran team breaking down a tiny bit down the stretch due to injuries of some sort, droping an easy game or two. They take the wildcard and really focus in the playoffs and get at least to the AFC championship. :)

If the game were in Philadelphia I might be worried a bit. The game is in Foxboro and the Patriots should win this one easily.

The games I won't be nervous about are in bold. That's nine wins right there. That leaves the Chargers, Bengals, Cowboys, Colts, Eagles, Ravens, and Steelers. The Steelers, Bengals, Cowboys, and Eagles are fairly easily winnable as well, leaving the Chargers, Colts, and Ravens -- last year's top three AFC teams. If they can stop LDT, then they can beat the Chargers. Same with Manning and the Colts. Of course, that's a lot easier said than done. I'm not going to predict them to win any of those three, and just to be safe, I'll add in another loss somewhere along the road, giving them 12-4 for the season. The Pats always seem to do better in the playoffs, though, so I'll say they'll make it to at least the AFC Championship game.

Not really...not at home and against a weaker team than they faced in the Super Bowl...
