Other then the Oakland opener the Lions schedule is pretty brutal for a 3 win team. @Philly, @Wash (where if I'm not mistaken they have never won) @SD. GB and Minny are teams on the decline but we can't beat either of those on the road anyway. Going week by week i just don't think 7 wins is possible, I think they are 1-4 going into the bye week
Fair Warning, Could be right but since their season wins are 6.5 it looks like the expectations are not that high.
Other then Tampa I'm not even sure the Lions will be favored in any of their home games. As long as Clay is still the owner And Millen is in the front office I would look at betting longterm cash somewhere else

These are mine so far:
Jets under 8 (No Man-genius this year)
Philly over 9.5 (Dallas and Giants take step back this year)
Pitt over 8.5 (could easily be undefeated thru September)
Indy over 10.5 (I don't believe the hype on Jax)
Will probably add Jax under 9 as well

I have studied the schedule and at best i see 8-8. I think the worst thing that could happen is a push. No way they go 10-6, No way..And remember they can't win on the road and other then the last game every road game will be tough.
I like it! They dont have a good back to depend on:monsters-
The Jaguars have one of the elite ground attacks in all of football. Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew each rushed for more than 940 yards and at least five yards per carry. Jacksonville's rushing attack could be even more potent in 2007. One of the few upgrades the team made via the free-agent market was right tackle Tony Pashos, who will fill the only weak link on a line that surrendered just 30 sacks and blew open huge holes for Taylor and Jones-Drew.:thumbsup:

Add to that he is a year older and his career is now double digits. Until Drew proves he can be a every down back he doesn't scare me.The 2000+ yards they got last year earned them a 8-8 season. They have not improved nearly enough for 10 wins.
