I can agree with the top 3 in the NFCE, but even though I would love to see DAL win only 4 games, they're a better team than that.

| Are you counting on Romo being put on IR in training camp? |

I can show you a way if you would like. Instead, show me where they get 5-7 wins.

LOL I'd absolutely love to hear some reasoning as to why you think the Browns will finish 0-16. Assuming that nearly every starter doesn't get injured, I can pretty much guarantee that the Browns don't go 0-16.
The Browns were two botched snaps on field goals from potentially being 6-10 last year. Their defense was one of the best last year and should only improve. Their offense can't get any worse and should be better simply with the addition of Richardson. If Weeden has at least a decent rookie year, then the offense should be much better than it was last year.
Yeah... please explain to me how you think the Browns go 0-16. Absolutely hilarious and it's obvious you don't know anything about the Browns.

Love this time of year. Every fan has their team winning 9-10 games and making the playoffs.

I'd say the Browns have a good chance at beating the Bills, Bengals, Colts, Raiders, Chiefs and Redskins. I wouldn't be that surprised if they were able to beat the Eagles, Chargers or Broncos. I could see them winning at least one of the games vs. the Ravens and Steelers. Not saying the Browns will win all of those games, but they have a good chance in those games and I'm sure they will win at least a few of them.
It's painfully obvious that you don't know much about the Browns. People shouldn't make these prediction threads when they don't know much about one or some of the teams.
The Cardinals are way better than a 1-15 team. You have them winning one game but have the Rams winning six? How are the Vikings that much better than Arizona, Cleveland, etc.? The Bengals will not go 12-4. They've got a lot of young talent but they won as many games as they did last year thanks to an easy schedule. Once their schedule got tougher towards the end of the year, they weren't very successful.

it is very possible the Lions go 7-9. I'd be disappointed but it is very possible.

They were also a combined 10 POINTS away from being 1-15 last year. See? I can do that pretty easy, too!

Not a chance of regression, eh? If all the Browns can do is improve, I see no reason to believe that any of the other teams they play would regress then either.

See above

Ready?
Eagles > Browns
Benglas > Browns
Bills > Browns
Ravens > Browns
Giants > Browns
Colts = Browns
Chargers > Browns
Cowboys > Browns
Steelers > Browns
Raiders > Browns
Chiefs > Browns
Redskins > Browns
Broncos > Browns
As I already stated, I wasn't terribly comfortable with them going 0-16 but thats the way things ended up working out in my little paper league. Will it happen, doubtfully but it's not impossible.

You clearly have no sense of statistics if you truly believe that.

Convincing argument.  
Sure the defense could regress, but it's doubtful. There's no legitimate reasoning to think they would regress.
What am I supposed to see above when talking about the offense? Richardson alone should make the offense a fair bit better. If Weeden is even decent, then the offense should improve quite a bit. Especially if Little and other receivers improve which is very possible.
Care to explain how the Cardinals go 1-15?

Hope is a great thing.
just because your team got better doesn't mean that your record will.

Furthermore, just because you think your team got better doesn't mean they actually got better.
The Browns won't go 0-16. AJ Green, Joe Thomas and Trent Richardson are all far too talented to let something like that happen. i'm not a huge fan of Weeden, but he would have to be utterly atrocious for them to be that bad.
Defensively, they have a lot of work to do, but they aren't 2005 49ers bad.
That 49ers team is the single worst team to take a football field since the bucs, and they didn't even go winless. (yes I think this team was worse then the winless lions team).
