NFL training camps are right around the corner, which means the NFL season is as well. With free agency and the NFL Draft behind us, the offseason is essentially over when it comes to teams finding ways to improve. Which teams are getting overhyped at this stage? And which teams aren’t being talked about enough?

The Rams had a decent offseason defensively — drafting Jared Verse and Braden Fiske with their first two picks — brought back cornerback Darious Williams and signed Tre’Davious White and Kamren Curl. The NFC West is a tough division, but the Rams should get to double-digit victories if they remain healthy.
This win total has already moved up, as bettors are onto something. The Vikings lost a few notable names this offseason in Kirk Cousins and Danielle Hunter, but also added a few pass rushers in Dallas Turner, Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel, a new running back in Aaron…
