Adam Rank predictions. I'm sorry but I'd be super disappointed if the season ended this way, even with a division title. He has us beating no one good except Baltimore and finishing 9-8

Same. 9 - 8 doesn't show much growth, even with the schedule being tougher. This would signify to me that our defensive efforts fell short in 2023 and not much changed in the pass rushing department. It would also feel like the offense didn't elevate it's play enough. That's why I went with 11 wins and 6 losses on the year. I could see them winning a primetime game or two and maybe losing games they shouldn't have lost early. I have us getting off to a slow start that surprises people. 1 - 3 in September. Opening loss, loss to the Chiefs, we get a win over the tinhorns and then we lose in London to the Falcons.

After the media beats up on the team? They get on a winning streak starting with Buffalo in London, a win over the clots, Saints, Steelers and then losing to a stacked defense at home against the 49ers before getting back on a winning streak against the tinhorns, Bengals on MNF in a thriller, Browns, a loss to the Ravens on SNF, a win in Tampa, a win over Carolina and then a finale loss to the tacks who I think will be a game or two behind us anyway for the divisional win. 

So, it won't matter in the grand scheme of things. Sets the stage for this team to sneak up on people in the post season. We rope-a-dope the NFL.
