Strength of the division does have a bearing on how difficult your schedule is. Because if your division has better teams you will play better teams, them. Duh.

I don't see them as an 11-5 team, but that schedule is fucking cake.
I like to break the season into quarters for stuff like this:
Q1: At worst, 1-3 with losses to the Broncos and Packers, and one of either the Redskins or Chargers (depending on if either team decides to play better).
Q2: I'd say 2-2. Losses to the Panthers and Rams. I could see them losing to the Cowboys possibly, but they won't drop an extra game and would likely end up taking one from the Panthers/Rams if so.
Q3: They might lose one of these, likely to the Niners. I don't buy the Chiefs being good, the Giants have fallen off a fucking cliff, and the Cardinals are the Cardinals.
Q4: 3 division games, and I usually like to just say teams split those. But they're SB champs, so we'll have them going 4-2 in the division. That means probably 3-1 in these games (plus, the Seahawks seem to play well to close the season lately).
So that's like 9-7 worst case scenario. Matching up against the NFC East and AFC West (since I don't buy into any of that shit last year being good football) really pumps up their W-L. More than likely they're 11-5 or 12-4.

Looks like another 8-8 season for the Cowboys, unless the defense miraculously goes from worst to top 10-15.
The 2 - 14 Redskins who will then trade their #1 draft pick for the rights to sign Peyton Manning's corpse.

It was mostly sarcasm, but there's no reason they couldn't be an average defense. Ware was a complete non-factor last year so you can't get too much worse. Kiffin was just an atrocious defensive coordinator and they were terrible even before they were on their 17th lineman.

Doesn't make sense for that to be a nationally televised game unless they're popular nationally and not just locally.
The real answer is Cutler. People love Jay Cutler and now that he's got his fat contract the dynasty can begin
