I'm sticking with 7 wins.
Bad defense. Bottom 5 in total sacks. Maybe more INTs though if Hooker stays healthy. With the helmet rule I'm expecting defenses to be down league-wide.
On offense though I expect significant improvement over last year, even with Luck rusty. Lots of 2TE, especially if Castonzo misses time. Hilton should have a great year, but I don't think any other WR will sniff 700 yards.
I think we'll have a better run game than we've had in a long time. Better plays, better blocking, better in-game strategy.
Better coaching decisions, especially in crunch time. Not a high bar there.
