Way-too-early predictions are based on enthusiasm or disillusion. I have been surprised that many posts on X, JBF, and here, have a similar feel.
Not enough data to really make an educated guess, but it makes the case that enthusiasm/expectations are really high. A lot hinges on Grizz/playcalling.
My way-too-enthusiastic feeling at the moment: 12 wins is entirely possible.
I predict the Falcons will be in destruct mod
Several people here have expressed that view. Interesting and obviously good for the Bucs if it holds true.
Last year they sort of choked away what could have been a late season win against the Commanders. Wild game

i mean honestly other than injuries, most teams will be what they are
Aaron Rodgers is a wild card if he signs with the Saints but he wasn't great last year - reminded me of Brady his last year so doesn't move the needle for me.
appreciate we are in May but i doubt many of us will change our predictions sans something drastic occurring roster wise on the various teams

Probably right.
There are usually a few surprises and things driven by the schedule though. For example, last season most had the Broncos as a win and so there was a lot of outrage at that loss. By season end though the Broncos are top 3 or 4 defense and finish 10-7.
The Bucs are probably fortunate (in hindsight) last season to get the Commanders early and win. And wasn't it a botched punt play that led to the Lions win?
Point is that the Bucs could have been 1-2 going into that Eagles game. Lose it and they are 1-3 and doubting themselves and then lose a bunch of players. . . season collapses.
NFL football is always a close call

oh yeah don't get me wrong our predictions and what actually happens are two different things. There undoubledly will be surprise teams no one saw coming
what i am saying is having a prediction now in May versus late August wont change our outlook much, barring a preseason/training camp injury to key players
