Bri makes his picks in the NFC North.  Bears have some nice weapons for Fields with Moore, Claypool and Kmet. Lions had a great draft adding starters at RB, ILB, TE and nickel. Packers have gotten much younger-only 3 players over 30. Vikings won all the tight games last year, can they repeat with 2 elite WR Jefferson and Addison?

Bri makes his picks in AFC West (Defending champs look strong again; Chargers have an excellent roster; Russ should be better for the Broncos under Payton; Raiders need a healthy Jimmy G to take pressure off Jacobs.

Bri makes his picks for the 2023 Pac 12 College Football season. USC and Washington look elite with Oregon, Oregon State, Utah and UCLA all in the mix. Colorado under Deion will be fun but 50 transfers will take time to jell.

The guys preview 2023 ACC college football-Clemson and Florida State look elite; Can Chizik improve the UNC Defense/We know they can score with elite QB Maye;  Will Brohm make a big difference as HC in Year 1 at Louisville (his alma mater); Miami has added 16 transfers and 26 freshman-is that too much turnover?

In the MLB, blazing hot Cubs are coming after Brewers and Reds, Mets trade Sherzer to the Rangers for Ronald Acuna's brother and Ohtani continues to make history. In the NFL Bengals Burrow out a few weeks with calf strain while RB issues abound-Taylor wants out of Indy and Zeke and Dalvin look for jobs.

Brewers take 2 of 3 from Reds in Milwaukee despite only scoring 3 runs/game; Angels will not trade Ohtani (instead they traded for Giolito) and most MLB races tighten with less than a week before the trade deadline.
