Baltimore with the new coaching staff goes 16-1. GB without their premier defender and an average QB goes 12-5.

Love this. It will help keep those Super Bowl odds down until everyone wakes up and smells what the Vikings got cookin.

Shhhh

To think the Vikings are going to lose three more games than last year (like the OP says) you pretty much have to assume that...

  1. Kyler Murray either gets hurt or has his worst year as a pro despite having the best surround of his career and throwing to the best receiving corps in the NFL.

  2. The Vikings once again suffer major injuries along their OL, breaking 2025's near-NFL record for most OL combos used during a season. Or Brandel doesn't solve his snapping issues. Or both.

  3. Dallas Turner gets hurt or otherwise fails to match Greenard's 3 sacks from last year, and that Banks and Orange fall far short of the fairly low standard set by Allen and Hargrave.

  4. This year's easier schedule on paper actually proves to be tougher in reality. This can happen.

  5. Young players like Addison, Redmond, Turner, Jackson fail to improve.

    Hey, it's all possible.

I think the least likely things to happen - no way Ravens are losing just 1 game, do not see NE going 14-3, they will come back to earth, we will win more than 6, Lions win more than 8, Dolphins are an under the radar improved team who will win more than 3.

15 of 32 teams with either 13 or more wins or 13 or more losses? Talk about blowing up the distribution curve. I think these folks need to go back to the drawing board, their simulator looks like it was programmed by ChatGPT. Or their inputs are badly flawed, aka GIGO.
