After a long hiatus, I'm back. And I brought some friends with me. Today, we tackle NFL team over/unders (wins) in 2013. Last season, I finished 21-7-4. That likely will not happen again. This year, I polled myself, @davegot, @adamweeg, @T00LE, and @timmyk13 about every team's over under. Here are the full results and some quotes. Very few teams were unanimous overs or unders. Vegas did well prognosticating most teams this season, but there are ways to make bank. And these are those ways:
Unanimous Overs
Cincinnati Bengals (8.5)
"Weak division, Chargers, Minnesota? Who could ask for more. They will be the small stack in the Division Champion set" -@timmyk13
Detroit Lions (7.5)
"Above average QBs, WRs and DLs. Below average RBs, LBs and CBs. Smells like 8-8" -@davegot
Green Bay Packers (8.5)
"Defense can only get better. Plus, they have a RB now!" -@sportsbygotti
New England Patriots (11)
"Looking for Belicheck to go a little more pass heavy since the majority think they will be running this year. Their formula has worked in their favor for the last decade, and I see no reason as to why it should stop now considering the competition in that division." -T00LE
New Orleans Saints (9.5)
"Cant wait to see this team back in action. Sean Payton is back, Bounty Gate is all but forgotten, everyone is healthy. NE is the tough game. Either could win that one, and I see SEA picking up a win. Splitting with ATL (conservative option) that leaves them with 13. Home field through the NFC Championship against SEA." -@timmyk13
San Francisco 49ers (11)
"The division is TOUGH -- unlike most of the rest of their schedule." -@SportsByGotti
Unanimous Unders
Arizona Cardinals (5.5)
"Bruce Arians isn't the answer either. Vertical shots from Palmer to Fitz sound great, but not when you have a gaping hole in the left side of your line and you couldn't do that last year anyway. Be lucky to win 4" -@adamweeg
Buffalo Bills (6)
"I don't see a .500 college coach and a rookie QB tearing up the league. Although, I do love seeing a guy named Tuel in the leaugue." -T00LE (it's a homonym...get it?!)
Jacksonville Jaguars (5)
"Under: Strong competition with OAK and maybe NYJ for #1 pick [in the 2014 NFL Draft]" -@davegot
Minnesota Vikings (7)
"Tough schedule in a tough division. I count 4 wins." -@adamweeg
"Another cringe worthy schedule especially when you consider they have a week 5 BYE. AP stays healthy? Maybe. Does it matter? only in fantasy leagues, not the NFL." -@timmyk13
New York Jets (6)
"Under: Any explanation needed?" -@adamweeg
"Probably couldn't win 6 CFL games" -@SportsByGotti
Oakland Raiders (5)
"Their fans will kill more people than they win games." -@timmyk13
San Diego Chargers (7.5)
"I think 5 would be lucky. No playmakers except Gates (always gets injured). Still can't rush passer and can't really cover either. Harder than average schedule too" -@davegot
St. Louis Rams (7.5)
"Could be a playoff-contending team if they played in any other division" -@SportsByGotti
Tennessee Titans (6.5)
"Just barely under with 6 wins. Still not sold on Jake Locker being a starting QB in the NFL." -@T00LE
