After losing the Super Bowl in what felt like heartbreaking fashion - they enter this year just cracking the top half of the Heckler Rankings. However, it seems this offensive machine with Warner throwing to both Boldin and Fitzgerald leaves a lot of defenses flat out toast.

At first glance, especially with this schedule - it is perfectly logical to see this team heading back to the playoffs. One of the knocks on them was a lack of running game, but they drafted Chris "Beanie" Wells and it's a fresh set of legs in that backfield. They were 32nd - dead last - in the NFL last year in rushing. Warner had once played on a greatest show on turf. Hightower ran for 399 yards and Edge for 514.
Easy wins? SF, SEA, SEA, STL, SF, DET, STL....weird I think I just wrote their entire division twice...However playing the Packers will be difficult because of the defense, but thank goodness that game is at home. I think the Indy game will be very entertaining.
Bottom line? This team can win 10 games if the defense can be a top 18 defense, which they were last year. 10 - 6 worst case scenario. Perhaps they nix the Super Bowl loser jinx. Again, look at the division they play in.
