Arizona Cardinals (O/U 4.5)
Kyler Murray will not return anytime soon due to his ACL injury against the Patriots on Monday Night last year. The starter will be Joshua Dobbs, the former Steeler, as he gets another opportunity. This team a season ago was led by Kliff Kingsbury, but this offseason, the Cardinals decided to go in a different direction with new head coach Jonathan Gannon. As the defensive coordinator in Philly, he looks to lead the Cardinals to the same success he had last year. This year will be a roller coaster for Gannon and the Cardinals, and they look forward to the future and putting the pieces together for several years to come. Without Kyler, you can’t expect much from this team this year. This team will be one of the bottom-tier teams this season. No, Kyler and DeAndre Hopkins hurt a lot. Take the under 4.5 wins.
Under 4.5 wins
Los Angeles Rams (O/U 6.5)
Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp are back on the field this year and look to get back on track. Kupp is dealing with a hamstring injury, and if he doesn’t stay healthy this year, look for another devasting year for the Rams. The one question most people are wondering about is the defense. The defense isn’t as strong as it once was. Aaron Donald looks to lead his team and the defense, but this unit has few standouts. The Rams had a good offseason drafting 14 guys, including 2nd-round pick Steve Avila and 3rd-rounder Byron Young from Tennessee. Stafford looks to lead this offense, and with him being 35 and then the Rams entering rebuild mode, it seems like there are better situations for him. This team will be in competitive games but won’t be problematic to other playoff teams. With the Rams’ schedule this year and having a veteran QB, I see them making it challenging for some teams. I believe this Rams team will be a little sneaky but not a playoff team.
Over 6.5 wins (Notable opponents, Steelers, Bengals, Ravens, Cowboys, Eagles, and Browns)
San Francisco 49ers (O/U 10.5)
Kyle Shannahan and his first full-year quarterback, Brock Purdy, look for another run at the Super Bowl. This San Francisco team is poised for another solid year and is looking for a good playoff run. Having the same playmakers in McCaffrey, Kittle, Aiyuk, and Samuel will help this team move the ball and score points. They brought in former Steeler and Eagle Javon Hargrave on the other side of the ball. He is one of the most underrated nose tackles in the game and will improve the defensive line alongside his teammate Nick Bosa. This 49ers team will look to go the distance this year as long as two things happen. First, Brock Purdy being the same Brock from last year, and two, everyone can stay healthy. I like this 49ers team, and they will make it to playoffs this year while making a case for the number one seed. I can see this team winning above 10 wins. I hope that Purdy plays like he did last year.
Over 10.5 wins (Notable games, Steelers, Bengals, Ravens, Eagles, Cowboys, Vikings, and Jags)
Look for Nick Bosa to take the DPOY award, can sprinkle a little on him.
Seattle Seahawks (O/U 8.5)
Pete Carroll will have another year in his belt with his second-year starter, Geno Smith. The 8.5-line scares me a bit because there are some questions. First, was Geno Smith’s year last year a fluke? Or did they have an easy schedule? This Seattle team scares me because it can go either way. The team last year was a little sleeper, but I think teams around the league will be ready for Seattle. In my opinion, they also had one good win last season: the Chargers, and for this new year, they have a more challenging schedule. I like the under-in wins since they aren’t a sleeper team this year and have a harder schedule.
Under 8.5 wins (Notable games, Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, Browns, Cowboys, Lions, and Eagles)
Take Geno under passing yards (Under 3825.5)
