Oh I meant for Mack speficially

the media hype is worrisome at this point, coming in I was happy with 8 or 9 wins but now the Media basically has double digits or bust for what is still a very young team

I do think though they have what it akes where others didn't, the Dolphins or Eagles of a few years ago were all really FA based

Whereas the Raiders is more the last 3 drafts being so strong, with only a few FA signings coming in to fill gaps

and like Sylvan said above, the South in both conferences is really beatable, I could see the Broncos/Raiders/Chiefs all finishing with at least 4 wins of those 6 games
