10 win possibility thread revisited

[EDGECRUSHER]

I think 7 wins is our ceiling. I have hated Chad Pennington for years, but he is deadly accurate within 15 yards and he is an actual NFL QB, something we haven't had for years. So, 7 wins doesn't seem that ridiculous considering we should've won about 4 last year if not for our awful record during games decided by 3 points or less.

I would put my money on 5, but with some lucky bounces here and there we can have 7.

Here's Dave's formula. 

Steps of .25 make it a bit tough, but on the other hand, this is all hand-waving mumbo jumbo anyway.

My take (and, no, I don't see a single game where I would call us favorites):

.5   N.Y. Jets   
.5   at Arizona Cardinals   
0   at New England Patriots   
0   Bye   
0   San Diego Chargers   
.25   at Houston Texans   
.5   Baltimore Ravens   
.5   Buffalo Bills   
.25   at Denver Broncos   
.25   Seattle Seahawks   
.5   Oakland Raiders   
0   New England Patriots   
.25   at St. Louis Rams   
.25   at Buffalo Bills (Toronto)
.5   San Francisco 49ers   
.5   at Kansas City Chiefs   
.25   at New York Jets   

5 Wins.

As I've said before, my official guess is at the optimistic end of what I think is likely... 6 wins.

Miami Dolphins, 21-0 December of 2006....So what's this have to do with the price of oil in New zealand...Nothing it's 2008...

You got my trivia question correct. 

But yours has stumped me.  I give up.  What is the correlation between the NFL and South Pacific oil pricing?
