I watched him live once each in the past two years, granted this past year it was before his end of season tear.
If the end of season tear is indicative of where he starts the year, then he scores over 30. You have to believe that he was injured and/or came into camp horrendously out of shape and then got better as the season went on. It's harder and harder to do that as an old guy, but Ovie has always been an outlier.
I still think it's more likely that he finishes closer to 20-25, because every time I've watched him, live or on TV, in the past two years, he has looked barely replacement level and like the bottom is falling out (like the first half of last year). But it would be foolish to guarantee it given how he finished the year. So there's still a chance with the record.
