Over
HOU - with Watson at QB, they will win a few at home
CHI - better offense this year
GB - just 10?

Under
NYJ- too much competition in the division
DEN - did they improve at all?

Under
NYG - 7 (unless I hear buzz about the QB improving)

What? Are you actually saying the Giants don't need to improve in *every* facet of the game? As a Giants fan, I'm greatly offended. :)

Over
Giants - 7 (Because everyone else is picking the under)
Eagles - 6.5 (Because another NFC East team needs to beat the WTFs and the Cowboys)

Under
WTF - 8 (because it's not their year or decade)
Cowboys - 9 (because it's not their year or decade or millennium)

I have to like my chances with the Lions under 4.5 and Rams over 10.5. Stafford is easily more than half a game better than Goff.

My official picks:

WAS - 8 - OVER - (massive QB upgrade from disastrous to decent, top 10 OL, elite DL, Terry McLaurin and Antonio Gibson are going to have huge breakout seasons)

NWE - 9.5 - OVER - (massive talent upgrade: many free agents + several good players returning after Covid opt-out last year, Mac Jones was the best QB in the NFL this preseason)
