This is the most boring schedule I've ever seen. I hate football

I am going to call my shot now: They will open on the road, in Denver.

2nd prediction: The AFC North will have three teams in the playoffs next year...drawing the AFC South is the closest thing to a bye of a division.

Packers and Vikings will also be tough on the road.

If they find a QB

All of this was determined by who finished 3rd in the AFCW.

I think Vikings will re-sign Braford.

I think you can add the Jags to that as well. I've watched them a few times this year, and outside a few games, they've been right there within a few points.  I may pick them as my sleeper team next year if they can get a good head coach in there, even tho Marrone did throttle the Titans.

Home opponents (*playoff team): Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers*, Houston Texans*, Indianapolis Colts, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills.

Away opponents (*playoff team): Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers*, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Denver Broncos.

Gotta say, this schedule doesn't look terrible. There aren't any non-divisional games that really scare me too bad.

Depending on how many primetime games are scheduled.  I know they will have at least one on TNF, and they usually only win one per season.

Another sweep by Pittsburgh - 2 losses
A split with the Ravens - 1 loss
Away loses to Packers, Broncos, and Titans - 3 losses
Home losses to Texans and Lions - 2 losses

8-8 prediction at this point, and that is assuming everything stays status quo, that Eifert returns and plays most of the year, and no other season ending injuries.

Who thought the Cowboys would be 13-2? Who thought the Broncos and Panthers would both miss the playoffs and Cam would have such an awful year following his MVP campaign?

This. 

From the looks of it, we won't/shouldn't have too many primetime games to worry about.
