[Pape]

Panthers, Patriots are underdogs in every game

The Panthers and Patriots will be at the bottom of the NFL this season, if the betting lines are to be believed.

would really like to steal a victory early on... week 2 in seattle looks promising... the longer you go 0-fer, the harder teams start to press... i would like to avoid that scenario

I mean, at this point in the offseason they're probably going almost entirely on last year's record. And since the only teams with worse records than the Pats were the Panthers and Commanders, Patriots would only be favored against them (and maybe only if they're playing in Gillette). As such, they don't play either of them. The only reason Washington isn't the underdog every game is because they have a game against Carolina.

Will be nice to have the number 1 pick next year and use it to build around Maye by trading down for a bounty.

There is some of that... It's also a projection based on the roster...

Trade down? Sure enough. But the return has to be high enough so we can get a bona fide franchise LT.

Seems legit, I couldn’t find a single game where NE should be favored. I think their best chances to win come in week 2 vs Seattle, against Jax in London, maybe the Bears and a split vs the Jets. I don’t think they should be favored in any though.

A Lloyd Christmas chance.

Everyone knows that like any New Englander, I'm Mr. Positivity.

GM Kraft: "These springtime projections are nonsense. We have a top 5 defense, a snazzy motivational mural, and an inland light house with a tiny bell"

It's going to be entirely up to them to dictate how they want to start out the gate.. everyone has them down.. for them to come out, and challenge a good Bengals team week 1 would do wonders for thier confidence. The defense will set the tone..

If so would mean Drake was a bust.

It could mean many things. You don't know how injures will play out. You don't know what this offense is going to look like. You don't know how well or how poorly Jackoby is going to play. You don't know if Maye will play at all this season.

Your exactly right. But what I can say is the QB position would have to be circa 2023 if we are picking in the top 5 again.. Personally I don't believe you will be seeing Brissett. I believe Drake is starting week 1. Just my opinion

 

[UrbanCowboy]

I think we're better this year, but when I do the game-by-game, 6-11 looks like a stretch.
