Wins: Browns, Bears, Lions, Phins,  @Bolts, @Bengals, and I'll give us 2 division wins (more than likely a sweep of the tinhorns but possibly 1 vs them and another vs the clots)
5-3 at home, 3-5 on the road.
Minshew and the offense will improve greatly. Defense will be good enough vs bad teams or teams with rookie QBs, but will struggle against teams with veteran QBs and strong running games.
We'll lose more games 35-30 than we will 24-13 (don't expect many blow outs like last year either, barring major injuries)

That’s certainly bold.

I really don't think 8 wins is all that bold.
An improvement of 2 wins.....the offense was anemic at times and the defense was pretty awful for the 2nd half of the year.... if they improve slightly toward average it really isn't crazy to think we should be able to beat teams that are as bad as us (Phins, Bears, Browns, etc)

But comparing my 8-8 prediction to the gloom and doom of the majority of jumpers we have on this board expecting 2-4 wins, or wanting us to tank for sunshine, yeah I guess you could see it as bold.
