Do the New York Giants have a path to 8-plus wins in 2026?

-
Will the New York Giants exceed their over/under win total for next season? A panel of CBS Sports analysts issued a lean prediction that the Giants will finish over 7.5 wins in 2026, based on DraftKings Sportsbook’s over/under for the season. Lean: Over 7.5 (-110).  New York is a possible breakout team in 2026 with Jaxson Dart entering Year 2 and John Harbaugh now installed as head coach. Dart flashed his potential as a rookie (albeit with some reckless play as a runner), and if that can be honed in a bit under Harbaugh, there's a lot to like about the Giants. Malik Nabers is back as a true No. 1 weapon in the offense, and the defense boasts a slew of stud pass rushers, including Brian Burns. Their division isn't for the faint of heart, but they have the talent to put together eight wins.  The Giants do not have many favorable matchups. The Arizona Cardinals , New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns are the only three teams New York can confidently be expected to beat. The T...

Rams Reacts: Aaron Donald’s return benefits young defensive line most

DETROIT, MICHIGAN - JANUARY 14: Aaron Donald #99 of the Los Angeles Rams runs off the field during an NFC Wild Card Playoff football game against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on January 14, 2024 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by Ryan Kang/Getty Images) | Getty Images We asked and you answered! Los Angeles Rams fans expect Aaron Donald’s return to benefit young defensive lineman like Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske more than any other aspect of the team. Despite everything being to be determined, the expectation going into 2026 is regardless of however many snaps Donald gives, he’ll excel as he always did. With AD getting spelled by Braden Fiske, Kobie Turner, Poona Ford and more, each player may be able to thrive off of the other. This defensive line unit should be an immensely talented and versatile group with little to no drop-off when players sub in and out for one another. That’s L.A.‘s hope. Consider that every player on the Rams once again gets to learn and see how Donald move...

Duke's top prospect makes Jon Scheyer jealous with his explosiveness

-
As a former point guard himself, Duke head coach Jon Scheyer has a lot to offer young prospects at the position, building great relationships with his players over time, current Blue Devils point guard Caleb Foster being a great example. That said, Duke will usher in a new top point guard prospect for the 2026-27 college basketball season, Deron Rippey Jr. Rippey Jr., a two-time Gatorade New Jersey Boys Basketball Player of the Year award winner, has turned heads all summer due to his incredible athleticism at the position. When speaking at the Durham Sports Club, Scheyer offered a similar sentiment. "Probably the most explosive player at that position that I’ve coached," he said. "He’s 6'2", but when he jumps, he’s looking down at the rim. Makes me jealous." While Rippey Jr. is unlikely to start right away, his development and athleticism coming off the bench further solidify how deep Scheyer's squad is ahead of the 2026-27 season. Contact/Follow us...

Howie Roseman: The bottom line is winning, Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni do that

-
Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman says Philadelphia has a starting quarterback and a head coach who do what they're supposed to do: Win. Roseman said on WIP that he doesn't agree with the perception that quarterback Jalen Hurts is "on the clock" and is heading into a make-or-break year to remain the franchise quarterback. "No I don't agree with that," Roseman said. Roseman said Hurts and head coach Nick Sirianni are proven winners, and that's what the franchise needs. In games started by Hurts since Sirianni became head coach, the Eagles are 56-22 in the regular season and 6-4 in the postseason, including winning a Super Bowl. "I think the bottom line for us, in the position we're in, and really for all our fan base, is winning football games," Roseman said. "And all [Hurts] does is win football games, and that includes our head coach as well. For me, the barometer is winning football games. In terms of what Jalen does, he'...

Saints sign former Browns, Tennessee Vols WR to practice squad

-
This could be interesting. The New Orleans Saints are up to seven wide receivers between their practice squad and 53-man roster after signing former Cleveland Browns third-round pick Cedric Tillman. And we're still waiting to find out of Kevin Austin Jr. cleared waivers and will be returning to the practice squad, too. But what's Tillman's story? Tillman, 26, played college football at Tennessee (arriving in 2018, one year after Alvin Kamara turned pro) and was prolific in Josh Heupel's wide-open passing attack. He broke out in 2021 with 64 catches for 1,081 yards and a dozen touchdowns before taking as step back in 2022 while dealing with an ankle injury. The Saints passed on him to pick running back Kendre Miller at No. 71 overall in the 2023 draft, but he went off the board to Cleveland just a few slots later at No. 74. Injuries and inconsistent play have been a problem for Tillman in the NFL. He's been limited to 38 of 51 possible games since the Browns draft...
