WHAT'S BREWING TODAY Saturday, July 30 On Today's Scorecard Ups And Downs

USA TODAY's NFL expert Nate Davis calls out the fact that as NFL training camps have opened and teams and fans are bristling with optimism – typically the prevailing sentiment as new players are incorporated, possibilities for the upcoming season abound and the loss column remains clean. Late July is usually the most logical time to freshly evaluate the league, roster constructions largely finished and injuries generally at a minimum. Of course, the NFL always has variables – two of the major X-factors right now being the eligibility of Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and the status of San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo, who seems likely to be traded in the coming weeks. But most clubs have a clearer picture of what they hope to be in 2022. At the top of the list are the Buffalo Bills, the only team in the loop he predicts to win 15 games. Winning teams last season predicted to end up on the losing side of the ledger in 2022 include Arizona and Tennessee. Click here to see every team's predicted win total.

The New York Times reports that the league is looking for $2.5 billion annually, a generous hike from the $1.5 billion DirecTV pays each year under the league's current deal. DirecTV, which charges $294 annually, will not bid on Sunday Ticket.
