Some rumor on Twitter that Erin Dolan (espn analyst) cheated on her bf with Mat Barzal. Details are very slim. Have you heard anything about it?

I was a part of the migration and am no longer on Twitter and that sounds far fetched. Every women who enters sports and gets a position is accused of sleeping with a man for that position and I think it’s started by misogynistic asshole men

To Be Read: Nine literary fiction books I can’t wait to read this summer

And by “can’t wait to read,” obviously I mean “hope to God I actually pick up.”

tiktok | instagram | storygraph

Summer, to me, feels like literary fiction by the pool, at the park, and on the patio of your favorite coffeeshop, an iced latte in hand. The freakier, the better. The book, I mean, not the coffee.

If the book I’m reading isn’t just a little uncanny, I genuinely do not want to read it. If there isn’t at the very least one teensy thing about it that’s hard to look at, or that makes me want to turn on every light in my house just in case, I lose interest! Give me all the books with non-male protagonists who desperately need to find God, in a non-religious sense.

1. Big Swiss by Jen Beagin

Greta lives with her friend Sabine in an ancient Dutch farmhouse in Hudson, New York. She spends her days transcribing therapy sessions for a sex coach who calls himself Om. She becomes infatuated with his newest client, a repressed married woman she affectionately refers to as Big Swiss, since she’s tall, stoic, and originally from Switzerland. They both have dark histories, but Big Swiss chooses to remain unattached to her suffering while Greta continues to be tortured by her past. One day, Greta recognizes Big Swiss’s voice at the dog park. In a panic, she introduces herself with a fake name and they quickly become enmeshed. Although Big Swiss is unaware of Greta’s true identity, Greta has never been more herself with anyone. Bold, outlandish, and filled with irresistible characters, Big Swiss is both a love story and also a deft examination of infidelity, mental health, sexual stereotypes, and more—from an amazingly talented, one-of-a-kind voice in contemporary fiction.

Why it's on my TBR: Honestly, the buzz from friends whose taste in books I trust with my life is enough for me. I have not heard a single bad thing about it from anyone.

2. The Swimmers by Chloe Lane

Erin’s mother has motor neurone disease and has decided to take her fate into her own hands. As Erin looks back at her twenty-six-year-old self, she can finally tell the story of the unimaginable task she faced one winter.

Why it's on my TBR: I’m a glutton for pain and I looooove to read about grieving protagonists. The only way out is through, baby!!!

3. Exciting Times by Naoise Dolan

Ava moved to Hong Kong to find happiness, but so far, it isn’t working out. Since she left Dublin, she’s been spending her days teaching English to rich children—she’s been assigned the grammar classes because she lacks warmth—and her nights avoiding petulant roommates in her cramped apartment.  When Ava befriends Julian, a witty British banker, he offers a shortcut into a lavish life her meager salary could never allow. Ignoring her feminist leanings and her better instincts, Ava finds herself moving into Julian’s apartment, letting him buy her clothes, and, eventually, striking up a sexual relationship with him. When Julian’s job takes him back to London, she stays put, unsure where their relationship stands.  Enter Edith. A Hong Kong–born lawyer, striking and ambitious, Edith takes Ava to the theater and leaves her tulips in the hallway. Ava wants to be her—and wants her. Ava has been carefully pretending that Julian is nothing more than an absentee roommate, so when Julian announces that he’s returning to Hong Kong, she faces a fork in the road. Should she return to the easy compatibility of her life with Julian or take a leap into the unknown with Edith?

Why it's on my TBR: I’ve been putting this one off for far too long! I think I’ve had a copy for two years and have said I’d read it almost every month since I bought it. I’m determined to get to it this summer because this is another one I’ve never heard a bad thing about. Time to find out for myself!

4. The All-Night Sun by Diane Zinna

Lauren Cress teaches writing at a small college outside of Washington, DC. In the classroom, she is poised, smart, and kind, well-liked by her students and colleagues. But in her personal life, Lauren is troubled and isolated, still grappling with the sudden death of her parents ten years earlier. She seems to exist at a remove from everyone around her until a new student joins her class: charming, magnetic Siri, who appears to be everything Lauren wishes she could be.  They fall headlong into an all-consuming friendship that feels to Lauren like she is reclaiming her lost adolescence. When Siri invites her along on a trip home to Sweden for the summer, Lauren impulsively accepts, intrigued by how Siri describes it: “Everything will be green, fresh, new, just thawing out.” But once there, Lauren finds herself drawn to Siri’s enigmatic, brooding brother Magnus. Siri is resentful, and Lauren starts to see a new side of her friend: selfish, reckless, self-destructive, even cruel. On the last night of her trip, Lauren accompanies Siri and her friends on a seaside camping trip to celebrate Midsommar’s Eve, a night when no one sleeps, boundaries blur, and under the light of the unsetting sun, things take a dark turn. Ultimately Lauren must acknowledge the truth of what happened with Siri and come to terms with her own tragic past in this gorgeously written, deeply felt debut about the relationships that come to us when things feel darkest–and the transformative power of female friendship.

Why it's on my TBR: I found this one in McKay’s and despite the fun, flirty cover, it actually seems super dark? So, you know, right up my alley.

5. Rouge by Mona Awad

For as long as she can remember, Belle has been insidiously obsessed with her skin and skincare videos. When her estranged mother Noelle mysteriously dies, Belle finds herself back in Southern California, dealing with her mother’s considerable debts and grappling with lingering questions about her death. The stakes escalate when a strange woman in red appears at the funeral, offering a tantalizing clue about her mother’s demise, followed by a cryptic video about a transformative spa experience. With the help of a pair of red shoes, Belle is lured into the barbed embrace of La Maison de Méduse, the same lavish, culty spa to which her mother was devoted. There, Belle discovers the frightening secret behind her (and her mother’s) obsession with the mirror—and the great shimmering depths (and demons) that lurk on the other side of the glass.  Snow White meets Eyes Wide Shut in this surreal descent into the dark side of beauty, envy, grief, and the complicated love between mothers and daughters. With black humor and seductive horror, Rouge explores the cult-like nature of the beauty industry—as well as the danger of internalizing its pitiless gaze. Brimming with California sunshine and blood-red rose petals, Rouge holds up a warped mirror to our relationship with mortality, our collective fixation with the surface, and the wondrous, deep longing that might lie beneath.

Why it's on my TBR: I have read both Bunny and All's Well and have decided Mona Awad is one of those authors whose grocery lists I would read without question.

6. Disorientation by Elaine Hsieh Chou

Twenty-nine-year-old PhD student Ingrid Yang is desperate to finish her dissertation on the late canonical poet Xiao-Wen Chou and never read about “Chinese-y” things again. But after years of grueling research, all she has to show for her efforts are junk food addiction and stomach pain. When she accidentally stumbles upon a curious note in the Chou archives one afternoon, she convinces herself it’s her ticket out of academic hell. But Ingrid’s in much deeper than she thinks. Her clumsy exploits to unravel the note’s message lead to an explosive discovery, upending not only her sheltered life within academia but her entire world beyond it. With her trusty friend Eunice Kim by her side and her rival Vivian Vo hot on her tail, together they set off a roller coaster of mishaps and misadventures, from book burnings and OTC drug hallucinations, to hot-button protests and Yellow Peril 2.0 propaganda. In the aftermath, nothing looks the same to Ingrid—including her gentle and doting fiancé, Stephen Greene. When he embarks on a book tour with the super kawaii Japanese author he’s translated, doubts and insecurities creep in for the first time… As the events Ingrid instigated keep spiraling, she’ll have to confront her sticky relationship to white men and white institutions—and, most of all, herself.

Why it's on my TBR: The cover? Gorgeous. One of the booksellers at my favorite bookstore in Nashville, Novelette, recommended this one to me and I trust them with my life, so!

7. The Rabbit Hutch by Tess Gunty

The automobile industry has abandoned Vacca Vale, Indiana, leaving the residents behind, too. In a run-down apartment building on the edge of town, commonly known as the Rabbit Hutch, a number of people now reside quietly, looking for ways to live in a dying city. Apartment C2 is lonely and detached. C6 is aging and stuck. C8 harbors an extraordinary fear. But C4 is of particular interest. Here live four teenagers who have recently aged out of the state foster-care system: three boys and one girl, Blandine. Hauntingly beautiful and unnervingly bright, Blandine is plagued by the structures, people, and places that not only failed her but actively harmed her. Now all Blandine wants is an escape, a true bodily escape like the mystics describe in the books she reads. Set across one week and culminating in a shocking act of violence, The Rabbit Hutch chronicles a town on the brink, desperate for rebirth. How far will its residents—especially Blandine—go to achieve it? Does one person’s gain always come at another’s expense? Tess Gunty’s The Rabbit Hutch is a gorgeous and provocative tale of loneliness and community, entrapment and freedom. It announces a major new voice in American fiction, one bristling with intelligence and vulnerability.

Why it's on my TBR: I feel like it’s gonna make me cry and give me an entirely new outlook on my own life. And I think that’s exactly what I need this summer.

8. Matrix by Lauren Gross

Cast out of the royal court by Eleanor of Aquitaine, deemed too coarse and rough-hewn for marriage or courtly life, 17-year-old Marie de France is sent to England to be the new prioress of an impoverished abbey, its nuns on the brink of starvation and beset by disease. At first taken aback by the severity of her new life, Marie finds focus and love in collective life with her singular and mercurial sisters. In this crucible, Marie steadily supplants her desire for family, for her homeland, for the passions of her youth with something new to her: devotion to her sisters, and a conviction in her own divine visions. Marie, born the last in a long line of women warriors and crusaders, is determined to chart a bold new course for the women she now leads and protects. But in a world that is shifting and corroding in frightening ways, one that can never reconcile itself with her existence, will the sheer force of Marie's vision be bulwark enough?

Why it's on my TBR: This one kind of seems like it might quell my red-hot desire to only read books like The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix. E Harrow, minus the fantasy. Seems like similar vibes! I’ve heard tons of good things from trusted pals, so I’d love to pick this up this summer. I found this at McKay’s, too, with the UK cover, which I think is leagues cuter than the US one.

9. Briefly, A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens

In 1473, fourteen-year-old Blanca dies in a hilltop monastery in Mallorca. Nearly four hundred years later, when George Sand, her two children, and her lover Frederic Chopin arrive in the village, Blanca is still there: a spirited, funny, righteous ghost, she’s been hanging around the monastery since her accidental death, spying on the monks and the townspeople and keeping track of her descendants. Blanca is enchanted the moment she sees George, and the magical novel unfolds as a story of deeply felt, unrequited longing—a teenage ghost pining for a woman who can’t see her and doesn’t know she exists. As George and Chopin, who wear their unconventionality, in George’s case, literally on their sleeves, find themselves in deepening trouble with the provincial, 19th-century villagers, Blanca watches helplessly and reflects on the circumstances of her own death (which involved an ill-advised love affair with a monk-in-training).

Why it's on my TBR: I have heard nothing but incredible things, and it sounds like it's just weird enough to be right up my alley. Plus, that cover is so gorgeous, it’s practically asking to be read in public for everyone to ogle at.

[ad_1] May 12, 2023, 07:00 AM ETEven though the 2023 NFL season is roughly four months away from kicking off, it's never too early to speculate about win totals -- or to bet on them. Our Sports Betting analysts have got you covered. Doug Kezirian, Tyler Fulghum, Erin Dolan and Eric Moody offer their advice on whether you should take the over, under or stay away from each team's total.Jump to:ARI | ATL | BAL | BUF | CAR | CHI | CINCLE | DAL | DEN | DET | GB | HOU | INDJAX | KC | LAC | LAR | LV | MIA | MINNE | NO | NYG | NYJ | PHI | PIT | SFSEA | TB | TEN | WSHAFC EASTOver/under: 10.5Mike Clay's projection: 11.5Prediction: Over 10.5 wins. I worry the Bills have missed their championship window and Josh Allen's injuries are mounting. However, this total feels too low, even as the division improves and they have a first-place schedule. Buffalo could conceivably win all nine home games, depending on when it hosts warm-weather teams such as Dallas, Miami, Jacksonville, Las Vegas and Tampa Bay. -- Doug KezirianOver/under: 9.5Mike Clay's projection: 10.7Prediction: Stay Away. Coach Mike McDaniel seems like he has this club headed in the right direction. He has optimized his talent, but it's also a tough division. It feels like Miami will be involved in several close games, and the variance of its season will likely hinge on the health of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. -- KezirianOver/under: 9.5Mike Clay's projection: 9.3Prediction: Over 9.5 wins. This comes down to quarterback Aaron Rodgers and whether you believe last year was an aberration or the beginning of the end. I think the thumb injury was legitimate and he is closer to his recent MVP form. Thus, it is a giant upgrade at the most important position and the Jets should be a force, given they also have an elite defense. -- KezirianOver/under: 7.5Mike Clay's projection: 7.6Pigskin Win TotalsTake your shot at picking win totals for all 32 teams for a chance to win up to $10,000! Make Your Picks Prediction: Under 7.5 wins. Seven of New England's eight wins last season came against a backup quarterback. The offense figures to improve with new coordinator Bill O'Brien, but this is still a limited roster and a schedule that might have the Patriots favored in only three games. -- Kezirian AFC NORTHOver/under: 11.5Mike Clay's projection: 11.4Prediction: Under 11.5 wins. The Bengals are obviously a talented team with a very high ceiling, but I like the under here because of my belief that the rest of the division will be improved in 2023. Cincinnati plays a first-place schedule that might be a little tougher on paper than the rest of the teams' schedules in this division. Of course, the Bengals have a high ceiling, but I see more paths to the under than the over. -- Tyler FulghumOver/under: 9.5Mike Clay's projection: 10.1Prediction: Over 9.5 wins. QB Lamar Jackson is back and signed to a long-term deal. Odell Beckham Jr. and Zay Flowers join Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman to form a formidable pass-catching corps. J.K. Dobbins is now a year removed from his knee injury. As long as Baltimore can break the spell of being one of the most injured teams in the league, I love the betting value on the team for 2023. I'm playing the Ravens over this total and betting on them to win the division. -- FulghumOver/under: 8.5Mike Clay's projection: 9Prediction: Pass. Is QB Deshaun Watson as bad as he looked in 2022? Can he rediscover the elite form he showcased in Houston? I, frankly, do not know. That's the reason I pass on this team. That variable is too difficult to predict. If Watson plays like he did in his past, this could be a very dangerous team. If he plays like he did in 2022, this team will finish last in the division. -- FulghumOver/under: 8.5Mike Clay's projection: 9.1Prediction: Over 8.5 wins. All coach Mike Tomlin does is finish .500 or better. Put it in stone. Slap a damn "Guaranteed" sticker on the box. If you read this column last year, you know my favorite season-long win total bet was the Steelers over 7.5 wins. Of course, Tomlin delivered nine wins with a rookie QB, a pretty poor offensive line and only 10 games with T.J. Watt. I expect the offense to be much more explosive this season, and any defense led by Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick is going to be better than average. I will always bet on Tomlin. -- Fulghum AFC SOUTHOver/under: 9.5Mike Clay's projection: 8.8Prediction: Stay away. On one hand the Jags exceeded expectations last year with nine regular-season wins. Their core remains intact and they play in a mediocre AFC South Division. On the other hand, I am concerned that Jacksonville is overhyped with a win total this high given it has won more than nine games only once over the past 15 years. There are more pros than cons for the Jags, but I'm not willing to bet over or under on the win total. -- Erin DolanOver/under: 7.5Mike Clay's projection: 6.6Prediction: Under 7.5 wins (-135). The Titans seem to be in rebuild mode. Tennessee didn't sign any big-name free agents this offseason. It already made some cuts by releasing certain veterans. Plus, there are questions surrounding QB Ryan Tannehill. The Titans catch a break by the mere fact that they are in the AFC South, but under 7.5 would be the play. -- DolanOver/under: 6.5Mike Clay's projection: 6.4Prediction: Over 6.5 wins (-125). The Colts had an underwhelming four-win season after Indy had a win total set at 10.5 before the 2022 campaign. The biggest plus is the Colts hiring Shane Steichen as their new head coach. Steichen was the Eagles' offensive coordinator in 2022 and was the playcaller for one of the best offenses. The Colts have enough to get over 6.5 wins with Steichen expected to fix the offensive issues and the defense continuing to be middle of the pack. -- DolanOver/under: 5.5Mike Clay's projection: 6.3Prediction: Stay away. The Texans' three wins last season was the worst mark in the league. All wins came against divisional opponents. Will Davis Mills or rookie C.J. Stroud be the starting quarterback? Can the Texans' offense be any worse after averaging 17 points per game? Can the defense be any worse after allowing 379.5 total yards per game (ranked 30th)? Too many unanswered questions. -- Dolan AFC WESTOver/under: 11.5Mike Clay's projection: 11.7Prediction: Over 11.5 wins. Since Patrick Mahomes became the starting quarterback in Andy Reid's offense, the Chiefs have been an offensive powerhouse, accumulating 12 or more wins in four out of five seasons. While the Chiefs' defense isn't perfect, it complements their high-powered offense. Their strategy is to gain an early lead and allow the defense to pressure opponents, similar to the Colts during Peyton Manning's prime years. The Chiefs overcame a tough schedule last season to exceed 11.5 wins, and they're expected to face a similarly challenging schedule this year. Kansas City should hit over this mark. -- Eric MoodyOver/under: 9.5Mike Clay's projection: 9.9Prediction: Over 9.5 wins. The Chargers are poised for a strong season in 2023. With the addition of Kellen Moore as their offensive coordinator and a solid offensive line, quarterback Justin Herbert has the potential to thrive, especially with a healthy Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. The Chargers' defense also has a lot of potential and can become a force under the guidance of head coach Brandon Staley and new defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley. All in all, Los Angeles is a strong contender for the AFC West title, and betting on it to surpass 9.5 wins is a wise choice. -- MoodyOver/under number: 8.5Mike Clay's projection: 8.4Prediction: Over 8.5 wins. The Broncos have the potential to exceed their win total this season with the addition of head coach Sean Payton, one of the NFL's top offensive minds. If Payton can "fix" quarterback Russell Wilson, the Broncos could see significant improvement. Denver has also made impressive investments in its offensive line and has talented receiving playmakers. With a defense that could bounce back and finish as a top-10 unit in 2023, the Broncos have a strong chance of exceeding expectations under Payton's leadership. -- MoodyOver/under: 7.5Mike Clay's projection: 5.9Prediction: Under 7.5 wins. While QB Jimmy Garoppolo might seem like a better fit for Josh McDaniels' offensive scheme than Derek Carr, I recommend taking the under. Despite trading away tight end Darren Waller, the Raiders did sign Jakobi Meyers during free agency and still boast one of the top receivers in the league in Davante Adams. They also added Tyree Wilson in the draft, although it remains to be seen how much of an impact he'll have in his rookie season. The Raiders did an excellent job during free agency and the draft of bolstering their defensive talent. While there is potential here, it's unlikely that Las Vegas will see a significant defensive improvement until late in the season. -- MoodyNFC EASTOver/under: 10.5Mike Clay's projection: 11Prediction: Over 10.5 wins (-165). Although this line continues to get more steam, there is no case to bet an under on a team that has had an impressive offseason. The Eagles signed QB Jalen Hurts to a long-term deal and essentially "won" the 2023 NFL draft. The NFC is not nearly a monster like the AFC, and the Eagles should be winning left and right with the offense and defense that is intact. -- DolanOver/under: 9.5Mike Clay's projection: 10.7Prediction: Over 9.5 wins (-150). QB Dak Prescott played in only 12 regular-season games last season because of injury, but Dallas still logged back-to-back 12-win regular seasons. The NFC East schedule will not be a pushover like it was last year, but the Cowboys should hit over this mark with a revamped coaching staff and roster. -- DolanOver/under: 8.5Mike Clay's projection: 7.5Prediction: Stay away. In Brian Daboll's first season as head coach, he led the Giants to their first playoff win in more than 10 years. The Giants' surprising nine wins last season also saw the Cowboys steal two one-score games and the Commanders account for a tie. The 2023 schedule could really test this team or the Giants could surprise bettors again. Either way, I want no part of this. -- DolanOver/under: 7.5Mike Clay's projection: 5.4Prediction: Under 7.5 (-170). I don't like to advise futures bets that are this juicy, but I do believe the Commanders will go under. Second-year quarterback Sam Howell could be the Commanders' starter, as Carson Wentz and Taylor Heinicke moved along after the season. While the Commanders posted eight wins last season, Howell would lead an offense that averaged 18.9 points per game. -- DolanNFC NORTHOver/under: 9.5Mike Clay's projection: 8Prediction: Under 9.5 wins. I know people are excited about the trajectory of this team, and it is justified. The Lions have a lot of young talent on this team; however, they are still the Lions -- a franchise that has little experience or success realizing its potential over the years. Should they really be the division favorites? I'm not so sure. Their draft process was flawed. WR Jameson Williams is suspended the first six games of the season. I will not be betting into the narrative that this team is the best in the division. -- FulghumOver/under: 8.5Mike Clay's projection: 9.2Prediction: Pass. I actually think this is the team that should be favored to win this division, but it's not like I stand behind a team quarterbacked by Kirk Cousins that confidently. I'll pass on betting this team even though I don't see a wide delta between its ceiling and floor. I think this is a 7-to-10-win team this season, so too tight to play with any conviction. -- FulghumOver/under: 7.5Mike Clay's projection: 7.7Prediction: Over 7.5 wins. This is my favorite team to bet in the division. I am very bullish on the Bears in 2023 and beyond. It starts with QB Justin Fields, who I think is a certified star in the making. GM Ryan Poles has done a very good job fortifying the talent around him on offense, so I think he takes a big leap this season in his development. The defense is still a work in progress, so I'm expecting this team to be involved in a lot of entertaining shootouts. Bottom line: I am betting big on Fields and the Bears taking a significant leap. -- FulghumOver/under: 7.5Mike Clay's projection: 7.6Prediction: Under 7.5 wins. I just haven't seen enough from QB Jordan Love in his career to have any confidence that he can capably replace Aaron Rodgers. I think this franchise is in for a pretty big shock when it realizes how many warts he covered up and overcame. This offense is likely to take a major step back, and based on my belief around the other teams in this division, I wouldn't be surprised to see Green Bay actually finish fourth in the North this season. -- FulghumNFC SOUTHOver/under: 9.5Mike Clay's projection: 9.7Prediction: Over 9.5 wins. I had high hopes in 2022, and the Saints completely whiffed in some critical games. I believe in regression, and Derek Carr should be a considerable upgrade over an aging and limited Andy Dalton. With a weak schedule, the table is set for a solid season. -- KezirianOver/under: 8.0Mike Clay's projection: 8.8Prediction: Under 8.0 wins. They had some fun moments in 2022, but I cannot get past an uninspiring Desmond Ridder projected as the starting quarterback. The offense does have playmakers, including No. 8 overall draft pick Bijan Robinson, and Atlanta did upgrade the defense this offseason, but I do not see a winning record, even in what figures to be the league's worst division. -- KezirianOver/under: 7.5Mike Clay's projection: 7.4Prediction: Under 7.5 wins. I am a Frank Reich believer, but what else is there to like? I think Carolina downgrades at quarterback with an undersized Bryce Young. Even in a weak division, the Panthers could compete for the league's worst record. -- KezirianOver/under: 6.5Mike Clay's projection: 6.8Prediction: Over 6.5 wins. In my eyes, this team actually has a ceiling of double-digit wins. After a season mauled with injuries, this roster has plenty of talent. QB Baker Mayfield showed with the Rams that he can be adequate when he plays within himself. -- KezirianNFC WESTOver/under number: 11.5Mike Clay's projection: 10.7Prediction: Stay away. With the highest season win total among NFC teams, it's hard to overlook the talent on the 49ers' roster and their impressive run to the NFC Championship Game last season. However, it's worth noting that they play in the highly competitive NFC West Division. Additionally, there is some uncertainty at quarterback for the 49ers, as it remains to be seen whether Brock Purdy or Trey Lance will be the starter in Week 1. These are some of the reasons why betting on their season win total is difficult right now. -- Eric MoodyOver/under number: 8.5Mike Clay's projection: 9.4Prediction: Over 8.5 wins. Last season, Seattle surpassed expectations without Russell Wilson, winning nine games with Geno Smith, who was named Comeback Player of the Year. Looking ahead to 2023, the Seahawks' offense remains largely unchanged and has added two promising rookies in Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zach Charbonnet. Moreover, Seattle has invested significantly in improving its defense during the offseason. Given all these factors, it's hard to ignore that the 8.5-game projection feels low for a team that could have easily won more than nine games in what was supposed to be a rebuilding year. -- MoodyOver/under number: 5.5Mike Clay's projection: 6Prediction: Under 5.5 wins. Following a tumultuous season that included a seven-game losing streak, the Cardinals finished with a subpar 4-13 record. In an attempt to turn things around, Arizona has hired a new head coach and general manager to lead the way. However, the Cardinals are facing a period of uncertainty, with both Kyler Murray's late-season injury and rumors of a potential DeAndre Hopkins trade hanging over their heads. While the team's recent strong draft bodes well for the future, the upcoming season is likely to present significant challenges, especially in the highly competitive NFC West. Bet the under. -- MoodyOver/under number: 7.5Mike Clay's projection: 4.9Prediction: Under 7.5 wins. Last season, the Rams struggled with a lack of depth and injuries to key players such as Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp and members of their offensive and defensive lines. With a limited number of draft picks, a coach who may retire soon and an aging quarterback, the Rams are facing some serious challenges. In addition, their defense wasn't great last season and is likely to take a step back this season. Even if the offense improves with Stafford and Kupp back, the Rams' roster is one of the weakest in the league. -- Moody [ad_2] Source link
