How many wins will the Browns have? Which team is expected to have the best record?
NFL Nation reporters predict the over/under on win totals for all 32 NFL teams, as projected by ESPN's Football Power Index, a predictive system that weighs offensive, defensive and special-teams efficiency.
Note: NFL Nation reporters predicted every team's regular-season record in April.
Projected wins: 10.5
Mike Reiss' take: The last time the Patriots didn't win 11 games was the 2009 season, so recent history is on their side. I predicted an 11-5 season in April, factoring in some early-season growing pains that reflect how September, in some respects, has become an extension of the preseason as Bill Belichick balances the short- and long-term viewpoints in putting together what he considers the best team to compete for a Super Bowl title.
