Counterpoint

My friend answers back in the negative about my burgeoning bye optimism:

You're being unrealistic.
Do you think we're going to win 4 straight, including on the road in Meadowlands and in Dallas and the other 2?
We need to go 12-4 and Vikes need to go 2-2 down the stretch.
Let's just win 11 games and take the division.
