0-0.1 = 0 wins
0.11-0.39 = .25 wins
0.4-0.6 = .5 wins
0.61-0.89 = .75 wins
0.9-1 = 1 win

1 - Sept. 11 @ Houston Texans - 1 PM .9
2 - Sept. 18 @ Jacksonville Jaguars - 1 PM .8
3 - Sept. 25 Kansas City Chiefs - 1 PM .4
4 - Oct. 2 Tennessee Titans - 1 PM .6
5 - Oct. 6 @ Denver Broncos - 8:15 PM (TNF) .4
6 - Oct. 16 Jacksonville Jaguars - 1 PM .9
7 - Oct. 23 @ Tennessee Titans - 1 PM .35
8 - Oct. 30 Washington Commanders - 4:25 PM .8
9 - Nov. 6 @ New England Patriots - 1 PM .6
10 - Nov. 13 @ Las Vegas Raiders - 4:05 PM .4
11 - Nov. 20 Philadelphia Eagles - 1 PM .75
12 - Nov. 28 Pittsburgh Steelers - 8:15 PM (MNF) .75
13 - Dec. 4 @ Dallas Cowboys - 8:20 PM (SNF) .4
14 - BYE WEEK
15 - Dec. 17/18 @ Minnesota Vikings TBD .6
16 - Dec. 26 Los Angeles Chargers - 8:15 PM (MNF) .75
17 - Jan. 1 @ New York Giants - 1 PM .9
18 - Jan. 7/8 Houston Texans TBD .9

Predicted W-L =11.5-5.5, or right around 12-5, which is the record I think they will end up with. AFC West is a rough draw, but NFC Least and the Vikings balance it out.

Why so low on the Colts @ TEN and also why so high on Colts vs. LAC? Curious.

When they prove they can sweep the Titans I'll believe it will happen. As for the Chargers, I like the Colts defense against Herbert and it's at home, which always gives a bit of a confidence bump.

My theory on that is the Colts are the better team by a fairly decent margin so hopefully having a better QB who is also a leader will prevent a collapse.

Jacksonville will surprise some people this year.

Yep, I wouldn't be surprised if the Jags kick Wentz's ass again this week.

Pederson will have Lawrence playing a LOT better than he did as a rookie and they have some good pieces on defense.

If Etienne stays healthy and with their easy schedule, it wouldn’t shock me if they won 10 games.

I still think Lawrence is a bust. I know he went off on the Colts in Week 18 last year, but most of his highlight plays from that game were his athleticism buying him time to get lucky. He still hasn't shown to be effective at reading a defense or making anticipation throws, and long term, that spells disaster for a QB.

If the Jags win 10 games, then I'll buy you the drink of your choice.
