So only two more losses the rest of the season:
Meanwhile Packers, Arizonax2, Rams, Niners still left to go. This is assuming the team doesn't have a clunker against a bad team (it happens).
I count 5 games above that are tough games no matter how good your team is, even the 2012-2014 Hawks weren't exactly sweeping every team in the division. I feel like for every game the Hawks usually manages to win that they shouldn't win (perhaps this week against the pary ckers and maybe AR playing), there is always another game where the Hawks will perhaps lose one they shouldn't...like WFT, the Texans or something so it kind of negates.
Anyway, I wanna say of the tough games mentioned, coming away with only 2 losses would already be very good, but more than likely there may be 3 losses or 2 losses and another loss somewhere else where people weren't expecting.
I think 9-8 is realistic and that's assuming RW is ready to play sunday (not just cleared) and the team is finally clicking on both sides of the ball. Realistically 8-9 is more likely than 10-7.
My prediction assuming RW is back and ready to play:
L to packers if AR is playing. (RW is cleared and ready to play, but he's still getting back in the groove and its a road game at a tough place)
Split Arizona (This will be the unexpected win, but a sweep is unlikely)
Lose to Rams (Swept, Rams just seem to have the Hawks number)
Lose to Niners (split, they're not gonna lay down and die for the Hawks)
Beat the other teams people think they should beat.
9-8
