Bet with TEX and possibly sending him away doesn't have the same appeal as sending away BlackOp for the "they'll go 1-4 in the next 5" claim. That was the main driver behind the original bet. All others are meh.
But, if TEX wants to go there, let's dance. TEX is suggesting that winning 5 of those bolded 7 is a crazy notion. Ok.

See now. This is why you're a better poster than the rest of the Donk fans. You are realistic. You are picking the Donks to lose to the Eagles, Skins, Pat's and the Chiefs twice. No way the other homers pick all of those losses. The games you pick to win are indeed winnable. I think that you drop at least 2 of those. At the Raiders and at Miami or Indy could be a loss.

I think they beat NYG MIA NYJ AND INDY..MAYBE CINCY. So 7 or 8 seems relistic and a better season than what was expected. Thin air aided, but still better. [Reply]

That's totally not what I was suggesting.
I was pointing out that with 3 wins and those 7 in bold... finishing less than .500 was incredibly unlikely. I was not including the other games into the 'worst case' scenario as it relates to that bet.
Finishing less than .500 at this point is a crazy thing to suggest, which is why I'm more than happy to take the bet.
And, barring a major injury or three... there is very little chance they lose at IND. [Reply]

They'll finish with 9-10 wins... that's been my prognostication all along. Again, my original bet was not only the first time I've ever made such a wager, but it was made to see if BlackOp wanted to put up or shut up on his claim they would love 4 of the next 5. I have no issues with him really, he's out there crazy... and the potential bet with TEX... hell, if he wants it, take it. If he backs out, no biggie. [Reply]

Yeah, probably so on all that.
It's not necessarily that I think the Broncos are a great team, they have some great aspects for sure, but the schedule has really opened up for them.
It's all about injuries but I could see them ending up with 12 wins or 8 wins, simply because of the way they play. Strong defense, run the ball avoid mistakes is a way to win alot but it's also going to lead to alot of close games. Those tend to be somewhat of coinflips. [Reply]

Yep...Chargers have lost 3 games by a combined 7 points. The 4-1 Eagles barely won by 2 points...They beat the Donks to start a 3 game road slide...then NE adds the fourth. [Reply]

That said...Bosa/Ingram are going to get after your 4th quarter superstar QB.
Ok, so you lack confidence in the noise you're spewing. Got it. [Reply]
