Before Sam and Dalvin done gone lame, I set the floor @ 9 wins.
I see 4/4 back-half, 10/6 and Norris Title.
Just win their remaining 3 home games and steal 1 on the road somewhere gets us there.
I'm taking the high road and say 5/3, finishing 11/5 taking the North.
6-2 start, 6-2 finish.....
The jaded pessimist in me still sees 9-7. Those five road games are against some pretty strong home field teams.
I just want to go 1-0 coming out of the bye...then 1-0 after Washington...

Seriously, this could happen. Maybe we lose to Atlanta or Carolina, but neither of those teams have been that good this year.
None of these teams are all that great, IMO.
Rams, Atlanta, and Carolina have winning records, and they're very beatable. Cinci, 'Skins, Lions, Packers, and Bears don't scare me a bit.
If the offense gets rolling with Teddy or Sam in the second half, this is going to be a fun ride! B)
I had the over under at 9.5 IMO. Right now 9 wins would be a disappointment barring a rash of injuries. If they stay healthy and keep things together I would expect 11 wins but 10 is a pretty rational expectation. IF Teddy were to get back in there and pick up where he left off I would be even more solidly in behind my 11 win expectation.
Anything less than winning the division would be a collapse. Just a fact. They have a 3 game lead on Detroit and Aaron Rodgers isn't playing. Not sure what else Minnesota could want.
6-10 
I thought 10-6 at the beginning of the season. That's now the floor.
We will be at least 10-6 at the end of the season. That should be enough to win the Division.
