They will probably lose to the Ravens and Packers

There are two soft spots in that list of six games.

Cleveland is bad and Chicago is without their QB for the rest of the year. Those are road games and it is nice to have your easier opponents on the road.

Green Bay and Baltimore are going to be tough games. Look for the Over/Under line in the Baltimore game to be about 34.

The Lions can be beaten, but they are no longer the pushovers that they were. I think the Bengals will be uip and down all year long and it depends on what week the Skins catch them.

If the Skins go 6-0 here it will be a miracle and the playoffs are assured. If the go 5-1, that will also put them in the playoffs.

More likely is a 4-2 run setting them up at 5-4 for a stretch run that is NFC East heavy. Big break is that they get SF in the middle of the stretch run which ought to be a welcome respite.

Disaster scenario is going 2-4 over this period and standing at 3-6 with the Division opponents coming up. If that happens, the playoffs are a year away.

I think they will really turn it on on the hapless Browns. Gibbs is pissed and the team is too...
As others have pointed out, the toughest games in this stretch appear to be B-more and GB, but fortunately both of these games are at home. which should help. I'm optimistic, but for now, they just need to concentrate on making Cleveland their bitches...
