So... I have them with 8 wins that I am confident about with 4 more win-able games (2 more so than the other 2). Even with a lose or 2 in the games I pick them to win, they still have a shot at a 9 win season.

"I tell you with that 24th ranked D, you sure do expect to win a lot of shootouts with the Lions and Bengals (and tigers oh my!)"

It's Lions and Bengals and Bears oh my! You sound like the Scarecrow after his 5th go at the Morphine pump in the Oz Memorial Hospital burn ward.

I have them sweeping the Titans because they have a new (well, new-old) O-coordinator and VY has looked HORENDOUS in the pre-season and the rest of the O, with the exception of Crumpler, isn't much to look at either.

McCareins hasn't caught more than 50 passes since '04.
Gage has 6 TD's in 5 yrs.
White is a good runner but is no help out of the backfield (the rookie Johnson looks really solid though)
and the line gave up 30 sacks with a mobile QB.
Thus the sweep.

Yes I do expect to see shoot outs with the Lions and Bengals (but not the Bears). The Bengals only scored 1 more point last season on O and the Texans scored 33 more points than the Lions.

On D, the Lions gave up more points than any other team and the Bengals allowed one more point than they did (so actually they are even stevens.

I think Greene has one more 1,000 yard season in him and Taylor has a solid 4.4ypc avg.

"You honestly think the preseason means JACK? "

No, not overall, but when your a starting QB and your completion % is lower that 32 future Walmart stock boys then I don't care if it's the Special Olympics training camp, YOU STINK!!

"All true LAST year when they went 2-0 vs them"

Game 1: Thanks to an NFL record 8 field goals they won by 2. Schaub got hurt in the 1st quarter so the Titans loaded up the box to for Sage Rosenfels to air it out, which he did to the tune of 290 yards and 4 TD's.

Game 2: Another first quarter injury to Schuab had the Titans playing against the backup QB again and it was still a 1 score (plus 2pt conversion) game.

"and I know you go to school on a short bus taught by Jimmy the Greek

But +1 does not equal Even"

Jimmy the Greek can drive?? They are even because the O scored 1more total point than the Texans did and the D ALLOWED 1 more total point.

So class... what is 1 - 1? Jimmy, quite eating the paste!

"Green has cracked THREE HUNDRED YARDS ONCE in the past THREE years"

True, but that once was for 1,059yds and 373 receiving. Behind Kubiaks zone blocking almost any back can break 1,000.

No, take Vick #4.
