Home and home with Jackassville looks promising. The other two home games are San Diego and Cincinnati, both teams better than their W-L records.

The remaining road games are Oakland, Green Bay, Tennessee and Indy. We have had a good history with the Raiders who, despite a 6-2 record, have won a lot of extremely tight games. That might be a key game for us as to whether we are actually improved from last year or just spinning our wheels.

We should be favored in every home game. We should be favored in Jacksonville. We should be slightly favored in Tennessee. The Raiders game is not a true road game, we play them in Mexico City. That should be a pick em at worst.

Heavy Favorite - JAX, JAX,
Favorite - SD, CIN, TEN
Pick em - OAK
Slight Underdog - IND (who knows what they'll be by then)
Underdog - GB

If we can't win 5 of those games we stink.

If anyone wants to give me O/U on 9.5 wins today I'll take the over. We have shown for 3 years in a row we don't beat great teams but we almost always beat the bad to average teams.
