I give us victories against the Raiders, Rams and Cards. We can beat the Eagles and Giants at home, that gives us 9. At Tampa Bay could be difficult, but without Griese we should be able to take advantage of Sims. The Chargers showed that L.T. is human after all and a game in D.C. in late November could be cold and snow, not good for a California Sun team.

I think either the week 16 game against NYG or the week 17 game against PHI can be a win for us. If we are working toward a wildcard at that point, then one of those teams will have locked the east title. We'll be playing against 2nd string, resting Eli or Donovan, Shockey, or T.O. and who knows who actually gets playing time on defense or the rest of the skill positions.

With the way we've played so far, our ability to make the big play, and being able to be in the game till the final whistle, we could win 11 this season and not be a stretch.
