Place your bets, FO vs. ME

My subjective record predictions (that do factor in schedule) vs FO's record projection system. My method was posted here. I'd describe it as a way of organizing and quantifying my subjective opinion while working in strength of schedule.

AFC SOUTH

Colts: FO 9.9----ME 14

Jaguars: FO 9.2----ME 10

Texans: FO 8.9----ME 8

Titans: FO 6.7----ME 7

AFC EAST

Patriots: FO 12.8----ME 13

Bills: FO 7.2----ME 7

Jets: FO 7.2----ME 7

Dolphins: FO 5.5----ME 4

AFC NORTH

Ravens: FO 8.5----ME 4

Steelers: FO 7.2----ME 10

Bengals: FO 6.8----ME 7

Brown: FO 6.3----ME 6

AFC WEST

Chargers: FO 11----ME 12

Broncos: FO 8.7 ----ME 7

Chiefs: FO 6.6----ME 6

Raiders: FO 3.9----ME 3

NFC SOUTH

Buccaneers: FO 10.3----ME 9

Panthers: 9.5 ----ME 8

Saints: FO 8.3----ME 8

Falcons: FO 3.5 ----ME 6

NFC EAST

Eagles: FO 11.7----ME 11

Giants: FO 9.6----ME 11

Cowboys: FO 8.1----ME 11

Redskins: FO 6.9----ME 8

NFC NORTH

Packers: FO 11.4----ME 11

Vikings: FO 10.1----ME 10

Bears: FO 6.9----ME 6

Lions: FO 4.3----ME 5

NFC WEST

Seahawks: FO 10.5 ----ME 10

Cardinals: FO 7.5----ME 5

49ers: FO 5.3----ME 5

Rams: FO 5.1----ME 7

So the Ravens are the big difference. I'm surprised at how close my predictions were to FOs projections since I made these a month ago before seeing their's. 5 of the 8 divisions are in the exact same order and my NFC East team were only separated by fractions of a win. The Raven's in the basement and a flip of the Cards-Rams are the only big differences.
