So much for strength of schedule

Rugby Saint II · 10-22-2009, 03:14 PM

When the schedule was announced this year a lot of Saints fans let out a groan. At the time the strength of schedule seemed to be against us. An 8-8 team starting off 5-0 (and considered by many to be the best team in football) while some of the perennial power houses have slid back into mediocrity seemed a remote possibility at best. Fortunately, I am more knowledgeable about the Saints (than most of the analysts) after joining B&G. I started out thinking we would finish 11-5, now I think that 12-4 is realistic, possibly 13-3. Has anyone else changed their predictions?

I've changed mine. I predicted 12-4 initially. Now I'm predicting 14-2.

Nope, I've been thinking 12 wins since pre-season, and I'm going to stick with it.
I think ATL will probably get about 10, which will put us at the top of the div.

I will eat the probable crow. I figured on 10 wins so I guess I have 5 more weeks to slowly start to realize that will be a horrible prediction.
