What Are Your Predictions for the First 1/2 of the Season?

[Hoenheim]

A bit early for this sure, but its interesting to think about.. what are your predictions for the first half of the season? I think we go 6-2 

Game 1 vs Cowboys : Win

Game 2 at Falcons : Loss (Cam has lost the last several matchups at ATL for whatever reason)

Game 3 vs Bengals :  Win 

Game 4 vs Giants : Win 

Game 5 at Redskins : Win

Game 6  at Eagles : Loss 

Game 7 vs Ravens : Win 

Game 8 vs Bucs: Win 

 

Things could take a nosedive fast if we lose out of the gates vs Dallas and then have to play the Falcons the next week where we traditionally dont have a very good time at. 

Giants game is a bit deceiving. This could end up being extremely challenging with no Norman to guard a healthy Odell , but our Dline has traditionally been able to stop even the best of RBs so I'm not that scared of Saquan honestly. 

Bengals, Redskins, Ravens, Bucs should be automatic, if not , we're in for a long season.

If we get off to  a hot start and win the first 4 games , that would be great and I wouldnt be surprised if we went 8-0 or 7-1 the rest of the way.

Only game I'm having serious problems rationalizing a win against is the Eagles. They seem pretty stacked but then again we beat the Pats last year (and in their SB year the Pats defense was really good so that goes to show you teams can go through drastic changes in short amounts of time). 

Cool thing is, we dont have to do much traveling apparently. I'm counting 5 home games and 3 away games. The away games are all on the East Coast, and all pretty close to North Carolina in general. This is cool and I'm willing to bet it will have some sort of signficant impact on the team morale , and combine that with the early bye theres alot of favorable things for our early schedule.
