Now you are changing the goal posts as you said they would win less than 6. But I'm game if you are. I will let you take a good look at their schedule first before committing though to be fair and pick 9 for sure losses. I don't think people realize how much of a train wreck it was last season and they still won 6 games with a difficult schedule. The defense went from bottom five to top 10 in the final six weeks after KNJ (2nd worst DC in the history of the organization) was fired and Todd Downing the OC that JDR hired had never been an coordinator at any level and he's out of the league. They still won 6 games with a paper napkin offensive playbook and a difficult schedule. Now they have legit coordinators and a soft schedule. I realize there are a lot of skeptics of Gruden but he's surrounded himself with experience coordinators and while I doubt they are a Super Bowl contender this season or maybe even a playoff team they should be able to win 8 games on that schedule especially seeing the AFC West is a bit of a mess right now. Also the best travel schedule they have had in a long time so plenty of factors pointing to an increase in the win column over last season.
