Anything less than 9-7 and a playoff berth will be a huge bummer for the Browns, yet as The Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot points out, they beat just one team with a winning record all last season. Still, Mary Kay explains why she thinks they can actually back up the hype (and check out Cody Benjamin's three ways Freddie Kitchens can thrive). John Breech also joins as we break down NFL news and more.

We've seen short QBs succeed before; Drew Brees and Russell Wilson have been tearing it up for years. But Pete Prisco says none have entered with as many eyeballs on them as Kyler Murray, the No. 1 pick who's about three inches shorter than Baker Mayfield. Pete got a feel for the rookie's outlook at Cards camp and says this is what to expect.

Betting against Sean McVay is not an ideal scenario, but Todd Gurley's knee isn't the only reason to think the Rams will regress. The offensive line lost two starters, the defense should expect some regression, and there's that Super Bowl hangover to worry about. I sized up all the NFC West win totals and while 10.5 is too high for L.A., I really like these two overs.

Despite his injury history, Carson Wentz is now the fourth-highest-paid player in the NFL. Does the contract make sense for the Eagles? Could Wentz have gotten more? Joel Corry went deep into the numbers and broke down what it means for other young QBs; here's Joel's predictions for Dak Prescott and Jared Goff.

There are three rookie RBs to covet as starters, and Jamey Eisenberg says Josh Jacobs is the best of the bunch. With Jon Gruden's RB track record (and Isaiah Crowell out for the season) Jamey expects big things from the first-round RB, and has him as one of his breakout players. Here's who Dave Richard and Heath Cummings say you should target.

The Bears could be very good this season, but they'd better hope not many games come down to a field goal. Cody Parkey's playoff miss cost him his job, and the search for a replacement HAS NOT GONE WELL. Get a load of why the Bears trimmed the competition from three bad kickers to ... two bad kickers.
