Guaranteed Win, Guaranteed Loss

[OpIv37]

Ok, fine, nothing is guaranteed in sports. But, as long as we're doing predictions, pick the closest thing to a guaranteed win and the closest thing to a guaranteed loss on the schedule.

For simplicity:
W1 vs Dolphins
W2 @ Packers
W3 @ Patriots
W4 vs Jets
W5 vs Jaguars
W6 **BYE**
W7 @ Ravens
W8 @ Chiefs
W9 vs Bears
W10 vs Lions
W11 @ Bengals
W12 vs Steelers
W13 @ Vikings
W14 vs Browns
W15 @ Dolphins
W16 vs Patriots
W17 @ Jets

My guaranteed win: W9 vs Bears. That team is a cluster**** this year.
My guaranteed loss: W3 @ Patriots. No comment necessary.

[Dr. Lecter]

I agree with your loss. In NE? Really?

I really can't see a guaranteed win. The Bills might be on the clock for the 2011 draft right now.

Closest would be the Browns, but they somehow lost to them last year. But with Delhomme at QB, likely to throw 12 ints in the game, I'll pick that game and say the Browns.

[BuffaloBillsStampede]

Win week 1 vs. Dolphins
Loss week 7 @ Ravens

[MikeInRoch]

I agree with your loss (W3 @ Patriots). I'm not sure there are any guaranteed wins. The closest might be against the Lions in week 10.

[MikeInRoch]

Win week 1 vs. Dolphins

Please, let it be so...

[Mr. Pink]

Loss Week 3
Win Week 6

[OpIv37]

Loss Week 3
Win Week 6

lmao- the only week we're guaranteed to not lose.

[Ginger Vitis]

Guaranteed Loss.. Week 3 vs Patriots..
Guaranteed Win.. Week 5 vs Jaguars

[EricStratton]

Wins vs the Bears, Lions, Jags and Browns.

Losses vs the Pats in NE

[VeggieMan14]

Win V. Pats in New England... thought id go against the crowd:brace:

[Mr. Pink]

I honestly don't think there is any guaranteed wins on the schedule as of right now this year.

There's about 10 guaranteed losses though.

[sven233]

We WILL beat the Browns this year. I guarantee it.

We couldn't have played a worse game against them last season and lost by a FG is perhaps the WORST GAME EVER PLAYED.

Gailey over Dick alone makes this a win.

[ServoBillieves]

Boy... I do tend to agree with the guaranteed week 6 win but I'm feeling a tie on that one...

Guaranteed Win = Week 8 (if secondary is healthy)
Guaranteed Loss = Could easily be any of them.

[Ebenezer]

with the crowd...

win - cleveland
loss - anything but cleveland and detroit.

[OpIv37]

Detroit will beat us this year.

[more cowbell]

if history is any indication...we'll lose to the patriots...twice...AGAIN.

and well lose to the browns...at home...AGAIN

[Ed]

Win, @Kansas City
Loss, @New England

[Prov401]

Win week 1 vs. Dolphins
Loss week 7 @ Ravens

I second.

[Beebe's Kid]

Detroit will beat us this year.

Detroit will prove to us why you don't wait for midnight on a FA's porch.

[Commissioner]

Guaranteed Win i would say vs MIA week 1.

They will have no idea what kind of offense or defense they are going to face.

[Night Train]

Win week 1 vs. Dolphins
Loss week 7 @ Ravens
Ditto

[HHURRICANE]

I guarantee a win against the Fins week 1.

I guarantee a loss the following week against Green Bay.

For those that think we are getting killed week 3 in NE I think we are going to win that game. New England has played us flat at home I think Gailey is going surprise Belicheck.

[Mad Bomber]

I won't make any guarantees about wins and losses, but my best guesses are:
Win vs. Browns
Loss @ NE

The only guarantee that I'll make is that we WILL NOT LOSE in Week 6.

[justasportsfan]

If Trent is playing vs. browns...guaranteed loss.

Guaranteed win ..... week 3 :bravo:

[Buddo]

Loss, @ Pats.
Win, Lions. Browns (the comment about Gailey > Jauron earlier is so true).

I believe we can win the opener against Miami. If we do, I think the game against the Pack will be a lot closer than people would predict. We seem to play well against them.

I also think we'll split with the Jets - pretty much as per usual. While the Patsies have something of a hoodoo on us atm, we've done well enough against both the Jest and fins in recent years, and aren't intimidated by them in the slightest. Divisional rivalry will have it's say.

The Bears aren't very good atm, and we should also beat them.
We've done well recently against KC also, so should be looking to beat them, again.
Same applies to the Jags tbh.
Bungals at their place is harder, but they are somewhat 'streaky', and I wouldn't rule out beating them, but think they have to be favoured.
Vikes will be tough, but we again have a good record against them, iirc. Home field favours them though.

There will be the odd 'surprise' win along the way also. My (increasing) gut ;), says that we will beat the Steelers at home.

I think this team can do a fair bit better than people seem to be wishing on them. I think a spread of 7-9 wins is distinctly achievable.
