I know it's early. But you can change your vote up until the 6th of September. Let's see how good we are at predicting our team.

I went with 8-8. I feel like thats how many games we should of won last year with horrible coaching and a somewhat easy schedule. This year we have better coaching but a much tougher schedule so right now i have us winning 8 games.

I said 10-6. That's only if the defense is improved a fair bit. If it improves a lot, I'd say 11 wins. But I won't be disappointed in anything from 8 wins up. I don't see us winning less than 8. We were only a few fups away from 8 last year.

I don't think the Vikings will be terrible this year and I don't think they'll be good either.

So I went with 8-8.

Have we been given much of a reason to do otherwise?

At the time that I'm posting this, there are just as many predictions for 6 wins as there are for 8 wins.

Also interesting to note that even with so many predictions of 6 wins, there is an almost even split between people who think we will surpass 8 wins and people who think we will win less than 8 games. Only one vote separates the two categories, with the sub 8-8 group ahead right now.

I personally think we will start slow and then go on a tear late in the season, similar to the Arizona Cardinals last season. Unfortunately, just like the Cardinals, I think we will barely miss the playoffs.

I had to vote 10-6. They will probably snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in a couple of games and vice versa. lol

I went 6-10. Offense is getting there and in two years we should be REALLY good but I think the Defense isn't there yet and we have a real tough schedule ahead of us, We need better Dline, another good safety, better corners and our linebacking group kinda stinks. I think the Def will improve from last year somewhat but we need TALENT not OK players if we want to contend for a title

I think we'll surprise the NFL with how competitive we'll be.

But our schedule is just too tough to do better than 8-8. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but even if I'm not, I believe we'll be ready to start seriously challenging for the division in 2015.

18-1

7-9, for all the same reasons expressed before.

I think they'll compete hard and be close in a lot of games so they could do better but there are just too many question marks surrounding the team, and the schedule looks too tough, for me to predict a higher win total.

Why I picked 10-6. First the Offense. It will not be worse than last year. So I figure at least 24 points per game. This should be enough to be at least 8-8. Second, the Defense. I think the defense will be much better this year than last year at keeping teams from scoring. I am looking at the NFL average of 21 points per game. With that, it should give them enough to go 10-6. I just don't picture the defense giving up points like last year.

9-7 with most of the losses in the early to middle part of the season. The latter games will see things begin to really click and leaving us all with a woody for the future.

It's OK that I said woody, right?

As long as "Favre" is not used in the same sentence I think it's OK.
