At the beginning of preseason, there was plenty of angst in New Orleans. Jameis Winston is projected to replace the retired future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees. Of course, Winston was discredited as the Buccaneers quarterback. Winston departed the Bucs with the reputation as an interception machine. Tampa Bay went on to win the Super Bowl with Tom Brady in their first season without Winston. Last week Winston’s NFL betting results were mixed. Also, the Jaguars are breaking in a new quarterback. Trevor Lawrence arrives as the top pick of the 2021 NFL Draft.
