bp, we opened the season against GB last year. The NFL always has a premiere match-up in week 1 to kick off the year. It makes sense to do so. A couple year ago they had NO-GB to start the season, and it was a shoot out. It got a lot of people fired up to watch the NFL. I hate Goodell as much as the next guy, but having two top teams open the season is smart.

Our schedule is tough, though. Not only do we get Seattle at home in week 2, but Indy in week 3. They are hardly a push over. We do get Tennessee and Jax this year, but that means we also get Indy and Houston. I think the NFC South will be tough. Carolina and TB might not be that strong, but we know NO and Atlanta will be rough. I figure we should win 9-10. I'm looking at 4-2 in the division, then Tennessee, Jax, Carolina, TB to give us 8 and then a couple of the remaining games. I think 10-6 would put us in the playoffs, and that's all that matters. Once you're in you just take care of business.

One good thing, though, is we get Seattle at home late in the season.
