Tough sked.

At least we get some of the tougher ones at home. Houston, Denver, Jacksonville and Buffalo look like the only comparative softies.

Honestly

I think the Jets and Bucs are in decay.

Extremely Early projections.
Buffalo: 2 wins
Jets: 2 Wins
Dolphins 1 W-1L
Jacksonville: W
Tennessee/Baltimore: 1W-1L
Atlanta/Carolina/NO: 1W-2L
Tampa: W
Indy: L
Houston: W
Denver: W

I project 11-5 again! ;-)

I kind of agree about the Jets and the Bucs, though it will be interesting to see who NY brings in — other than QB they have a very solid assembly of talent that now has a season together. It was stupid to assume that they could just throw all the new pieces together and come up with something valid. But they have talent. If they can keep Favre from losing them ballgames, they should be tough. The ‘Phins, I hate to say it, should only improve. I think Sparano’s the real deal down there (though if the Tuna causes some upheaval, we’ll have to send him thank you notes).

5-1 in the division is attractive. That would solve all of our problems, really.

Gotta love the Tuna

but so typical to hear the talk already of whether he stays or walks before the season is through. Maybe it won’t have the same impact since he’s not the coach this time.

Keep the faith!

i agree

Once again you’ll go 11-5 without beating a great team. Just like this year.

actually

it’s not an easy schedule for a change.. It looks a lot easier if Brady is healthy

I'll just say

careful of the Texans. They’re creeping up on everyone. Next year will see their first playoff berth if they can find a real QB.

Let's go Colts!

Yeah

But they’ll get out coached

Keep on winning

Well im glad theywill play AFC South teams i live in fla, too bad those teams(atl,miami,tb)will have a long winter. Better news for Pats, if they stay healthy! indy colts r finished.

Colts

As long as they have Manning. He’s never had a great team around him. Always flawed somewhere. Even the year they won the super bowl their defense couldn’t stop the run all season. Manning carries that team and he’ll be back and so will the Colts. Manning is a true MVP. Without him the Colts STINK. Without Brady and 6 of their best defenders the Patriots go 11-5, but without Manning that team is a doormat.
