    SI looked at each team's schedule to devise a best-case scenario -- how the season could play out if all the key elements break right. The chart rates each game from -5 (certain loss) to +5 (sure win) and notes a handful of important matchups and calendar quirks that will make or break the season. The +1s are the games to watch -- win those, and the hope becomes reality.

    That's about where I'd put the best case scenario. Some serious chicken-slaying would have to go on for us to finish better than .500 this year in my spectacularly humble opinion.

    Not with this offense and a transition to a new defense...

    Best case is 6-10.

    Until mid-season when he begins to root against the team.

    I would be fantasticly impressed if we won six this year, much less eight.

    The Jets schedule is favorable this year, but I still don't expect 8 wins in Mangini's first season as head coach. More like 6-7 wins. Still, you never know...

    Wow, are the Lions actually getting away with scheduling 11 games against their own scout team?

    god, how many of these things have we seen. Looking at teh schedule in the preseason and predicting our season... sigh. When will ppl realize that half of these prediction will be wrong. In the NFL, playoff teams shift so much. Top teams go in the gutter and gutter teams rise up to the top. We cant feel all optimistic or even pessimistic by just looking at the freaking schedule. For all we know, we could end up with the hardest schedule in the league....

    The worst best-case scenario for any team is 8-8. The whole thing lost all credibility with me when they put the Texans at 9-7 and the Lions at 11-5.

    The thing is ABSOLUTE best case. At best the lions and texans can reach that. Not that they will, but they could.


    It's the absolute best case within a certain amount of reason.

    this is just about what i think as best case... We could fluke one or possibly two against the pats or miami and possibly beat gb but i think we may lose against chicago and possibly oakland
