Those of you who've read me for a few years know I like to predict results by putting games into 4 categories. This year I find the schedule tricky. The games mostly fall into 2 of the categories. The first category is "Should Win." I put 7 games in that category: Colts, both Niners, both Rams, Bucs and Jags. Usually when this category is this large, a team loses one game. The next catergory is the toss up group, "Might Win." There are only two games this year that I put in this 50/50 category. They are the home game against Seattle and the road game with the Lions. Then comes "Might Lose." This is typically the group where a team wins 25% of the games. This is another big group: Eagles, Texans, Titans, Skins, Giants and Seahawks away. Finally there's the "Should Lose." I put only the Cowboys game as a sure loss. Rounded up that says the Cards are likely to win 9. Maybe they can grab 10 if they take all the Should Wins, but history says 9-7 is the most likely finish.

I'll be disappointed (again) if we don't win 10 games.

Better have less expectation
underdog mentality is what this franchise need if it want to get to next level
So I say 7/9

Why are the titans a team to be worried about? I still don't think they did enough to make them scary or special.

Great OLine with a young Mariota who I think will get better this year with the weapons he has. Very good running game too. Secondary is their weak point, though.

I'm more comfortable playing against Seattle at their place than I am at our place.

I knew we blew the Bucs out last season, but I don't see them as a "should win" game. Bucs signed DeSean Jackson & a highly coveted TE in OJ Howard. Like Mariota, Jameis will be better this year. Their running game needs some work though. They also have a very good front 7 while adding TJ Ward to help bolster the secondary. I'd switch them with Washington if anything.

Well, they can run the crap out of the ball with Murray and what's his name. If the Cards can figure out how to stop their run, it will be a fun game to watch...and will probably be a shoot-out.

pessimistic side of me says 7-9... optimistic side of me says 10-6.

I'll split the difference at 9-7.

Im going 13-3. Nobody really scares me. I think we split with the chickens and lose to the beagles and redskins on the road. Injuries gonna play a big part though.
