I'd personally say Baltimore. While New England is the obvious favorite to win it all, Baltimore has the most dominant defense in the NFL, an easy schedule early on, and many similarities with last year's Bears (except they don't have a black hole at QB) and with the 85 Bears. If they get through Monday's game at Cincy, they'll be 7-0 going into Pittsburgh in Week 9 on Monday Night after their bye (they definitely can beat the Jets, Rams, 49ers, Cardinals, Bills, and Browns). If they get through their Pittsburgh, Cincy, and Cleveland, they'll be 10-0 going into their toughest stretch (San Diego, New England, and Indy). If they get through that, they've got Miami and Seattle, which they should win to be 15-0. Then they've got Pittsburgh at home for the perfect season.
Their schedule is soft enough that they have a chance to do it and their offense has the talent to be one of the top 5 in the NFL.
Who do you think is most likely to have a perfect season?

No one is going 16-0 this year. I think the best record will 13-3 and that will done by two teams, Patriots and Chargers.

I honestly don't think any team can go 16-0 this year with the parity in the NFL a team not only has to be good but also lucky. In recent years some teams have come close like the Steelers and the Colts to name two. I think by week 9 or 10 all NFL teams will have at least one loss and Nick Buonticonti and the rest of his 1972 Dolphin buddies can sip champagne as the last team to go undefeated through a season.

No one will even get close to 16-0. By the 8th week everyone will have at least 1 loss. This year there is too much parity at the top of the AFC to allow any of them to makwe a run and I do not think any of the NFC teams are good enough to do that.
I would have to disagree with Baltimore. Their schedule is not easy. From what we have seen of the NFC West this pre-season the Rams, 49ers, and Cardinals should play Baltimore well. Can the Ravens beat them, sure. But somewhere in that 8 week schedule they are going to stumble. It is just something that happens.
If the Ravens manages to go 4-0 then each team that plays them is going to put that much more energy into knocking them off. It is incredibly difficult to keep a long winning streak going in the NFL. It takes a lot out of a team trying to sustain that energy level.
Good Luck

The problem is that all the best teams are in the AFC and no one will probably do better than 12-4 in my opinion. As much as everyone like the Pats and Chargers, that is who everyone liked last year too. A favorite to win the Super Bowl hardly ever really makes it. There is usually someone else who plays a better game against those teams in the playoffs. Someone in the NFC has a better shot at 16-0 than anyone with those schedules in the AFC.

It ain't going to happen. But I would say the New England Patriots would be the most likely. Too many good teams for anyone to go undefeated. And the best team doesn't always win. Thats why Miami was the only team to do it since the inception of the superbowl.

None. The NFL, with free agency has made that impossible to do. No team, even 15-0 will start there starters in the last game of the year. It will not happen.

If there is a team that makes 16-0, I would say the Chargers, not just because thats my team, but last year we were 14-2 and lost those two games by a combined score of 5 points, we even lost our playoff game by two stinking points. our fault, I know.

I would have to say the Patriots as much as I would like to say my Lions lol. The Patriots have a powerful offense with Brady finally having some solid recievers as well as a running game. And their defense is good enough to make the stops needed to make a run.

Baltimore is in to strong of a division with the stealers and bengals. They will lose one of those 4 games i guarantee you. I would say the chargers have the best chance. They won 14 games last year and with LT, Merriam, and philip rivers. I don't see them losing to many games

patrios colts and maybe maybe the ravens. the pats b/c their offense is great and they have a lot of stars of the defensive side such as asante samuel and adalius thomas. the colts b/c manning is amazing and with recivers like wayne and harrison, hes got everything there. however thier defense sometimes falters and gives up points. the ravens have an amazing def, but no offense, but anyway the lost monday nite so they're out of contention
