This is in place of the 56 TD projection they showed on CBS.
Though 56 seems much greater than the record of 49, it is an underestimate. If the offense gets past their 'freshman' jitters, and Tom averages only 5 TD/game for the next 9 games, that's 45 TD right there, which would give him a total of 72 TD.
Tom needs only 2.4 touch downs per game from now to tie Manning's record. To put it another way, if Brady scores only 5 against the Jets, 5 against Buffalo, and 5 against Miami, he only needs 8 TD among the 6 non-AFC East teams to break his record with 50 TD. If you have to bet on him breaking the record, bet yes.
If Tom averages just 3 TD against the other 6 teams, and 5 each against the AFC East, he will have 60 TD. There is no way he does not break the record if he stays healthy. Even without Moss, he has a good chance to break it.
