I think most people here would agree that the schedule gives us room for optimism this year. We play arguably the two weakest divisions in each conference (definitely in the NFC), and the AFC East has seen better days too.
Looking at the schedule, we have games we should win, games we will probably lose, and swing games. Sure, we could win and lose some we're not expected to, but if it evens out then the swing games will make or break our season.
Here's how I see it breaking down into those 3 aforementioned sections:
Likely losses:
Patriots
@49ers
@Texans
@Patriots
Likely wins:
Chiefs
@Browns
Dolphins
Jaguars
Rams
Seahawks
Swing games:
@Jets
@Cardinals
Titans
@Colts
@Dolphins
Jets
The key is going 4-2 in the swings. I put the Colts in there because it's a Week 12 road matchup and Luck could be well-adjusted by then. Cardinals are always tough at home, too.
I think 10-6 is doable, but still have my reservations. The opener against the Jets is going to be huge, imo.
