Some Hawks Love from Don Banks

I caught this in his Patriots Postcard:
A 16-0 record is a distinct possibility. Wait a minute, that was last year. No way the Pats run the table again in the regular season. Right? Right. But 13-3 sounds about right to me. Who beats 'em? How about at San Diego in Week 6 (the Chargers are due against New England), at Indianapolis in Week 9 and let's say at Seattle in Week 14 (in an upset).
That's a nice compliment. I was hoping to look at the Patriots' schedule and find some other decent teams that Banks assumed would be Patriot wins, but it turns out the Pats have a fairly easy schedule. Pittsburgh as home could be a tough game, but it's still a home game. If the Jets trade for Farve... who knows. Anyway, no proxy comparisons to the Seahawks from the schedule. Nice to see some respect from a national writer.
