their division is nothing special and they've got some good weapons on offense...let's see how the defense plays against some solid offenses in their division...

my guess is 6-10...

I don't understand why they would get worse when they improved their team substantially in the offseason? Their last 8 or 9 games was much more remenscent of how good they should in this coming season.

this kind of gets to my FO/DVOA question. their Points Scores/Allowed would indicate that were fortunate to win 7 games, and 5 or 6 wins was more likely.

any thoughts on this?

A 41-10 loss to Chicago, a 41-0 loss against KC and a 34-10 loss to NO didn't help. The rest of their games were close, and after watching all of their games last year, I'd say they probably should have won 2 more games than they did.
