The Ravens will win over 9. They're in a very weak division, and they have some weak non-divisional opponents on their schedule (Miami, NY Giants, and @NY Jets). I also have little doubt that the Eagles will win more than 10 this year (my preliminary guess is 12-4, if not 13-3), and the Seahawks will CERTAINLY win at least 9 games (more likely 11).
The Lions over seems pretty good too.

I couldn't disagree more with your Eagles prediction....
1.I don't like the T.O.-Mcnabb connection is a good fit. Owens is great at YAC, but has poor hands. McNabb has great legs and arm strength but is not accurate. Put a not accurate QB with a poor hands WR and you get a ton of dropped/missed passes.
2.They lost their 2 starting CBs. They added an overpriced and overrated Kearse. Not good at all. They were only somewhere around the 20th ranked defense last year. This year, they should be pretty poor.
3.They lost their starting RB. Count me as one who is not yet sold on Buckhalter or Westbrook.
4.Everyone in their division got a lot better from last year. Much, much tougher division this year. Part of the reason taht the Eagles have been so good in recent years is that they beat up on a weak division. Not this year imo.
