I don’t bet real money on my teams because I prefer to be optimistic about their success regardless of what the data may indicate. If you review Coach Strong’s head coaching history, I think the data suggests to take the Under. He has finished with 7 wins or less in 7 of his 10 seasons as a head coach. In the 3 seasons that were greater, Bridgewater and Flowers were the QBs. I’m hoping Coach Bell truly has full control of the offense and the Over will win but I’m not willing to bet on it.

Can't argue with the facts.

If the OL isn't significantly better in 2019, I think the under is a pretty safe bet. BB never seemed to have enough time to throw in '18, and he will definitely need time in Bell's offense from what I've seen. Most of the pass plays in Bell's offense seem to take longer to unfold than Gilbert's

This!  Both the OL and DL are my biggest concerns.  If they are vastly improved, then we could surprise people, if not then we likely will be average at best.

Re this question:   Are we talking about the first seven and one-half games?  Last year we did OK in the first 7 but starting at that next half, not so much.

All depends on the defense...I am confident we will score a ton of points...question is how much have they improved?
