To summarize:
NFL.Com: 30th
CBS Sports: 29th
SI: 29th
Pro Football Talk: 29th
USA Today: 28th
Washington Post: 27th
Bleacher Report: 25th
Sporting News: 16th

The Vegas odds for the season were also for 6.5 wins and Cincy Jungle simulations yielded a high mark of 6.8 wins and low mark of 2.1 wins. (Post by Murdock2420)
