You would lose that bet! From the Regular Season Predictions thread:

I've got 10-6 as high as 11-5 but as low as 6-10.

Chiefs @ Eagles - Chip Kelly is no Andy Reid. W.

It's very feasible for us to 11-5 and get a playoff appearance with the schedule, talent & coaching we've got. My gut feeling is that we'll struggle in the first half of the season, but given all the changes going on with teams that normally win against us (for ex. Buffalo) and with the difference Andy Reid will bring to the table, we'll break some trends.
And I picked us to beat the Jags and Eagles and either the Cowboys or Redskins so I get partial credit!

Against the AFC South:
... If our blocking holds up early the Jags and Titans should be no problem. ...
Against the NFC [East]:
This is a good division, but not as good as it use to be. The Eagles are a hot mess and can't figure out who to start at QB. Reid will be highly motivated to give them a whipping and should be able to put together a good game plan against a team he is highly familiar with. ... You can never tell what you are going to get with the Cowboys, but you can count on Romo to throw away a few games each year. I think the "Thunderhead" crowd will rattle him and we steal a win at home. I think we beat the Eagles, lose to the Giants and beat either the 'Skins or 'Boys.

Add it up and you get 11-5. Now, every year we lose a couple we should win and/or win one or two we should lose, so I think 9-7 or 10-6 is a bit more realistic. It's really to early to say but I am optimistic about this season.
Now, none of us were picking the Chiefs to go 16-0 this year but all 3 of us thought that the Chiefs would win their first 3 games. By the way, all 3 of us picked the Chiefs to lose game 4 against the Giants and after seeing them in their first 2 games, I, for one, am rethinking that prediction!
