I get 9-7 by running down the schedule game by game, but I'd like to think they can get to 10-6.

I agree with your prediction. Granted, I am not as sold as most people are on Baltimore and Pittsburgh being legitimate title contenders (I think our team is more well-rounded then either of theirs) so 9-7/10-6 should get it done for a division crown. Add the brutal schedule for the AFCN this year and I think our ground and pound style gets the job done.
Give me 26 TD's for Dalton (with only 12 INTs) and 1400+ for AJ Green with 13 TDs. Hill runs for 1300 yards with 11 TDs, and Gio adds 500 rushing and 500 receiving with maybe 9 total TDs.
Defense moves back in the top ten with a ranking of 8th.
I say we get a home playoff game as the 4 seed and I say we win 2 playoff games this year (enough to get to the AFC championship game in New England).
Pats go on to repeat as champs against Seattle in a Super Bowl rematch.
