Notes:

• Maybe we beat the Saints but lose on the road to Falcons? Ironically, I can see the Saints beating us (revenge!) but failing to make the playoffs as Drew Brees finally hits a wall.
• Even if the much-touted Browns actually are significantly improved, I think they'll still be figuring things out early in the season. I don't anticipate losing to them in an early-season game.
• I'll take any two out of the first three games after the bye. Bears seem like the only team with a truly stout enough defense to stymie us (again! ugh!), but maybe we drop one to either of the other two instead.
• If the Cowboys don't win their potential revenge game against us at home, possibly we lose early in the season at Seattle instead.
• All in all, I think we definitely can repeat 13-3. And I think this time it will be good enough for first seed.

Playoffs? How about...
Divisional Round: vs Seahawks - W
Conference Championship: vs Bears - W
Super Bowl: vs New England - W
