If they split the next 10 they will be sitting at 14-9 after 20 games. That to me would be a very successful start to a season.
They go through a stretch later in the year that is mostly made up of teams that were expected to be chasing Viktor. The trip depends on some health. They have so many guys dinged up, who knows what might happen. There are some tough teams in this stretch and there are some metrics that say Portland is playing over their skis a bit. 6-4 doesn't seem unreasonable. Anything more is gravy. Is this where I ask for my tax money back that went towards education?
