I really wanted to give them a win in those final three games.  I just couldn't.  We don't know what any of those teams will look like at the end of the season, but one thing is for certain:  The dead cat bounce of late season wins to save someone's job won't happen this year.  Those last 5 games will be TOUGH. 

10-7.  Hopefully, that would be enough to squeak in to the playoffs where anything can happen and we know Burrow does his best in his biggest games.  

This young team NEEDS a good start to the season.  They have a brash, confident group and I love it, but that can turn to doubt quickly with another slow start.  If they can get that first win against Minnesota, I sincerely believe they will win at least 10 games.  It might look different than my selections, but they will go on to have a really good season.
