2016 NFL standings predictions: Football Outsiders has some surprises in win totals

I'm not surprised the 49ers do not get much love, but I am a little surprised by the Raiders. Aaron Schatz attempted to explain that number.

Yesterday, we looked at Todd McShay's 2017 NFL mock draft. The most interesting aspect of it was that McShay used Football Outsiders' preliminary win total projections to set the draft order. He did not include the specific win total numbers, but the order gave us a hint at some early projections for divisional standings. Football Outsiders is not saying the team will win X amount of games, but rather looks at the probabilities of various outcomes for the season.
