    Over for sure. I’d be surprised if they win less than 11.

    Ceiling is 13 wins for me. Floor though is 9. I am going with 11-6 for my initial prediction. Need OTAs to wrap up then Training Camp to conclude as well.

    I'm taking the under at an even 8. I don't think Ben makes it through the first half of the season healthy. Limiting our opportunities with a tough schedule.

    I'm going over with 11- 6 .
    Also agree AQL 9 wins is the floor.
    I Like what we've done, and I'm not sold Ben is done. I know laugh it up.
    I'm really worried about the D though, but that's beating a dead horse.

    I’ve been optimistic for the last 20 years. Not this year.

    Under.

    The defense and offense is terrible. The only way we get the over is if all 22 starters make it 17 games without an injury. That’s code for NO WAY.

    I think the line is about right tbh. It’s not a bet I’d make because the range of outcomes for this team is huge depending on how Ben plays and how the new OLine holds up. I’d also be deeply concerned about their depth in places, albeit I think they will pick some bargain guys up before the season.

    If I had to call it I’d say 9 wins, but it wouldn’t surprise me at all of this is Mike T’s first losing season. The overall roster is just not as good as what he has had in the past. I think they’ll compete and be in the division race until December but their stretch run is absolutely brutal and they’ve collapsed three years running in December now.

    Too many question marks to confidently pick either way, I'll go with the push - 8-8-1.

    Assuming Ben is hurt by the mid way point I see us going 7-10 this year. TOMLIN streak ends

    Haven't seen them play this year and only remember the end of last year. Based off of that, and without seeing anything yet to say we've improved on the field, I'll take the under and hope to feel differently once pre-season starts.

    I don't get this idea from fans that Ben can't stay healthy for this season, he will be throwing less and taking less hits, I'm not worried about him making it through the season.

    Have you seen Bens mobility last season? You think this year he’s going to be a year older and a step quicker? He can’t defend himself or avoid a rush anymore. If he hands off every play he might make it through 17 games.

    And who the hell honestly thinks Ben will be throwing less?? Apparently you don’t know who runs the show bud. It will be shotgun 5 wide by the 3rd series.

    Fichtner isn't the OC anymore, Ben won't be doing whatever he wants this season, they didn't draft a RB in the first round just to let Ben throw it 40-50 times a game.

    I'm thinking of Ben being yet another year older. Pretty sure we're not going to be running the ball as much as you think we will. I hope I'm wrong but the failure of the running game last year is a thing weighing on my mind at this point. Do you fix that in one year with the addition of a top flight running back? I don't know. A much tougher schedule also figures into my thinking. I hope you're right and we see Ben all year. If not I'm sticking with my prediction.

    Ben looks like he is wearing cement shoes. No really he does.

    I’d be very disappointed if there wasn’t a very frank discussion had with Ben before they agreed he’d be coming back for the year. The end of last season was utterly pathetic, they had the worst and most impotent offence in the league. It’s blatantly obvious that something has to change, and if Ben doesn’t buy in he should be benched for Rudolph. It’s that simple

    Wonder what the over/under for other 3 in our division are?????

    Not going to look it up but just take a guess at it. I'd have guessed the Steelers around 9.5 or 10.

    Cleveland: 10.5
    Baltimore: 9.5
    Cincy: 7

    I'm thinking the schedule had a lot to do with the 8.5 for Steelers. Bright spot for Tomlin if they can meet it he'll never have a losing season. 8-8-1.

    Last time I saw it I think Baltimore and Cleveland were both around 10.5. I think they are both being a bit overrated personally, albeit I do think their overall rosters are stronger than the Steelers now.

    Cleveland has never had this level of expectation before, they are being talked about as a top 3-5 team in football. Let’s see how they handle that
