Let’s look at our schedule … let’s assume that Watson misses 6 games (just a hunch)

At Carolina - WIN (We squeak one out without Watson)
NY Jets - LOSS (Still without Watson … they’re going to be improved IMO)
Pittsburgh - WIN (I think we can win a low scoring affair)
At Atlanta - WIN (I think they stink)
LA Chargers - LOSS (Maybe a blowout)
New England - LOSS (We won’t beat them without Watson)
At Baltimore - LOSS (Tough game on the road)
Cincinnati - WIN (Big primetime win on Halloween)
BYE
At Miami - WIN (They are good on both sides of the ball but we have a better QB)
At Buffalo - LOSS (Top team in the NFL)
Tampa Bay - LOSS (Rough stretch of games for us here)
At Houston - WIN (They stink)
At Cincinnati - LOSS (We’ll take a split with them)
Baltimore - WIN (We’ll take a split with them)
New Orleans - WIN (They’ll be sneaky good, but we play them at home in December)
At Washington - WIN (They stink on offense)
At Pittsburgh - WIN (They may be playing for draft position here)

10-7 … this is pretty realistic IMO
