This year is very hard to judge for me. I can’t tell if I am optimistic because the pass rushers look improved and CBs might be alright or if I am pessimistic because the DL is weak and Darnold might not magically improve. I usually lean optimistic on my record predictions. I nailed the 13-4 prediction in 2022. I was fairly optimistic last year with my 11-6 Prediction. That might have been spot on if Kirk didn’t go down. I will write my prediction this week, but would love to hear everyone’s thoughts. Let me know what you think in the comments.
Reasons for Hope – Improved Pass Rush, Improved CBs, Kevin O’Connell without Kirk Cousins
Reasons for Doom – Sam Darnold is who they think he is, Defensive Line, Interior OL, Injuries, Strong Divisional Opponents, Tough Opening Schedule, Early Bye
