    Looks like you were correct.

    I see 6-7 wins on that schedule for the steelers

    I see them going undefeated with TheRapist setting the NFL record for TD's thrown and yardage in a season. Meanwhile, Bell comes back from suspension and sets the NFL rushing record along with the receiving record. Mike Tomlin is inducted into the coaching HOF even though he has no intention of retiring anytime soon.

    10-6

    With that defense?
    I may go back and look, I kinda forgot about Bell missing the first 3 games.
    I go with 5-6 wins now as I had them winning against the scRams in week three.

    Missing him will hurt early on, but probably help them later in the season with him being a bit more fresh. That is, assuming of course, he comes back healthy.

    Browns get a soft early schedule and start 3-0. They may end up 3-13 or get ten wins, who knows, but they will start out 3-0.

    Lions have a pretty tough schedule next season but I'm thinking 10-6 is a solid number for this team. First 5 are brutal though...

    at Chargers
    at Vikings
    Broncos
    at Seahawks
    Cardinals

    I like the way the Bengals schedule shapes up

    How do you get Chargers and Vikings as brutal games? Neither were in the playoffs and were 5-3 at home. Thats not exactly an outstanding performance. Both are very winnable games.

    Plus, Mariota may be the Bolts QB in week 1.

    Now only if they can win in prime time right?

    As long as Heatmiser is their QB, I wouldn't be confident of anything.

    Because everyone pretty much overplays their own team's schedule.
    Plus the games are on the road....

    Since 2011.

    Bengals in normal games (CBS, FOX): 37-12-1

    Bengals in primetime games (ESPN, NBC, playoffs): 3-11

    Just mind boggling.
    Granted, I mean, granite, those prime time games usually are against the better teams I guess you could say, but still.....
  • Azubuike24
    My math is a bit off, should be 37-16-1. Still the same idea though. And some of the primetime games have been against teams worse than them. A loss vs Baltimore when they missed the playoffs, a loss vs Pittsburgh when they missed the playoffs, one against an 8-8 Dolphins teams, a loss against Philly last year, etc...

    True.
    but USUALLY they try to have the better games/matchups in prime time but that is all dependent on team expectations when it is made. DIvision games are kinda big usually and Balt/PItt usually is tough. Think philly made the playoffs the year before. Not entirely sure on the thinking/reasoning on the one vs the phins though.
  • Azubuike24
    Last year was vs Browns. My mind must be out of it today. That Phins game, they had the Gresham TD called back and Atkins left with a torn ACL. The Bengals made a nice comeback, but it stalled. The season was pretty down hill afterwards, actually.

    When Dalton was sacked for a safety in overtime, right?
  • Azubuike24
    Yep. They actually had a shot to win it, despite being down I think 20-3? Ended up not mattering much as they got the same playoff seed.

    Chargers because a playoff team on the road is hard and the Vikings because it's a divisional rival which usually winds up coming down to the wire

    Did you miss the "neither were a playoff team" part?
