After the release of the 2015 schedule, each NFL Nation beat writer chose the record for their team. In adding up those results, you get a 281 win 251 loss record. As much as each beat writer likes to maintain that they don't have a rooting interest, does this result show "homerism" or is it simply optimism based on the quick turnaround nature of the NFL?
Here are the picks for each team. Only 4 writers predict 10 or more losses for their team, while 10 writers predict 10 or more wins. Who stands out as having no chance to meet the record predicted?
