What Forecast expects

34.2projected wins · forecast interval 22–46 (house forecast, snapshot of 8 Oct)

The interval adds the errors of previous seasons to the forecast (from the 10th to the 90th percentile). Checked against the rosters that actually played, it captured 80.0% of the results; since those rosters were not known before the season, that figure does not show how accurate a preseason forecast is.
