Chris Rock returns to filmmaking for the first time in over a decade in this new A24 film, in which the iconic comedian takes a serious turn with a drama about Hollywood and humanity.
Misty Green, set for theatrical release in the U.S. on October 9, details the premise, “Years after her Hollywood breakthrough, a talented actress whose career has stalled fights for her second act.”
Rosalind Eleazar plays the titular role in the upcoming film, with supporting roles portrayed by Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick, Topher Grace, and Rock himself. Ahead of the film’s premiere, Misty Green’s future has already been determined, thanks to a streaming deal between A24 and HBO Max.
‘Misty Green’ HBO Max Release Window, Explained
HBO Max has a “Pay-1” rights deal with A24, through its parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, which was renewed in 2026, thanks to the films’ high viewership across the studio’s catalog on the platform. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the terms of the agreement state that HBO Max will hold streaming rights for A24’s film releases, and they will join HBO’s library after their theatrical and PVOD (Premium Video on Demand) release periods have ended.
Based on data from A24 films that have gone to HBO Max through this deal, the theatrical-to-streaming window for HBO and A24 under this agreement is approximately 119 days, which is around 17 weeks, or 4 months at most. Recent A24 hits, such as the record-breaking Backrooms, arrived on HBO Max exactly 119 days after their theatrical premiere date.
If Misty Green goes ahead with its planned premiere date of October 9, the new film should be available for streaming on HBO Max by Friday, February 5, 2027. These projections, as it should be noted, are based on theatrical and streaming dates in the U.S., and international versions of HBO Max will likely vary in accordance with their equivalent theatrical debut.
College football is just getting srarted, but Matt Leinart is asking fans to think beyond what happens on the field. For the third consecutive year, the former USC star is teaming up with Abbott and the Big Ten for the We Give Blood competition, an initiative aimed at addressing the country’s ongoing blood shortage.
For Leinart, the cause hits close to home. His mother had a rare blood disorder called polycythemia and ultimately required multiple blood transfusions before her death after the condition progressed to leukemia.
“So I just, when this partnership came about, it just meant a little more to me,” Leinart told Men’s Journal. “I understand the need for blood. I understand how important it is to be able to donate if you can, and because it saves lives.”
The We Give Blood competition brings together all 18 Big Ten schools in a battle to see which university can inspire the most blood donations. Abbott will award the winning school a $1 million grant to advance student health. Over the first two years of the competition, donations have helped save up to 300,000 lives.
Leinart has participated himself, donating blood for his alma mater, USC, during the first two years of the competition. And with USC now competing in the Big Ten, he has another reason to hope his fellow Trojans fans turn out in force.
“I hope so because we’ve been just not — we have not been good,” Leinart joked when asked whether he expects more USC fans to participate. He pointed to Nebraska and Wisconsin as some of the Big Ten schools that have performed well in the competition, adding that USC and UCLA need to “step up a little bit.”
Why Matt Leinart Wants Younger Fans to Get Involved
The competition’s college football connection is intentional. About 25% of blood donations currently come from people ages 65 and older, according to the campaign, making it increasingly important to encourage younger generations to become regular donors.
For Leinart, using the competitive nature of college sports to encourage people to give blood makes perfect sense.
“Fans are competitive. We know athletes are competitive no matter what they play,” he said. “So it’s like, hey, we can be competitive off the field, but in a super impactful way.”
The campaign is open to everyone, not just current college students or alumni. Anyone can donate at a U.S. blood center and represent their favorite Big Ten school, or simply donate without choosing a school.
And while the $1 million prize gives fans an obvious reason to get involved, Leinart believes the most important incentive is considerably bigger.
“One donation can save up to three lives,” he said. “To me, that’s just as impactful.”
Leinart Has a Front-Row Seat to College Football’s Changing Landscape
Leinart has experienced college football from just about every possible angle. He won the Heisman Trophy in 2004, helped USC capture a national championship, played in the NFL, and now works as a college football analyst.
That makes him particularly well-positioned to assess just how much the sport has changed since his playing days.
The biggest differences, he said, are obvious: NIL and the transfer portal have fundamentally altered the college football experience.
“When I was going to school, there were transfers and all that, but it just was rare,” Leinart said. “You went to school, you committed to that school, you were loyal to that school for the most part, and you finished out at that school for the most part.”
Leinart stressed that he supports players being compensated, but he acknowledged that something has changed along the way.
“I do think there’s a certain level of loyalty and commitment that’s gone,” he said.
His perspective is now also informed by his role as a parent. Leinart’s older son is a quarterback at SMU, giving him a firsthand look at the modern college football system from the other side of the recruiting process.
“It’s not their fault. This is the world they’re growing up in,” Leinart said of the changes.

Matt Leinart Is Ready for Another College Football Season
Despite all the changes, Leinart’s enthusiasm for the sport hasn’t faded. If anything, he still sounds like the same college football fan who once led USC onto the field.
There is one part of the modern preseason experience he could happily do without, though: rankings.
“I hate preseason rankings,” he said. “I think they’re just useless.”
Instead, Leinart is looking forward to seeing teams actually take the field and establish their identities. He specifically pointed to early-season matchups such as Michigan vs. Oklahoma and Texas vs. Ohio State as games that could provide an early glimpse at where some of the country’s top teams stand.
He’s also watching for the unexpected teams that emerge as the season progresses. And these days, he has an especially personal rooting interest in SMU, where his son plays quarterback.
But before the games take over, Leinart has one more message for college football fans.
“Just go,” he said when asked what he’d tell someone who has been considering donating blood but hasn’t done it yet. “It’s just very easy to do.”
Fans can learn more about the We Give Blood competition and find information about donating at BigTen.org/Abbott. The competition runs through December 4, giving fans plenty of time to turn their school spirit into something that can make a real difference.
Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez will be reuniting once more — this time in the world of animation — for Not Alone, the Illumination film set to premiere early next year.
“When Joe (Chalamet) and Fran (Gomez) are brought together to prepare for the inaugural launch of this revolutionary rocket, there are immediate sparks, but neither is particularly adept at romance,” Sony’s official logline teases.
“Life becomes more complicated when three aliens—tiny, unruly and adorable—take refuge in Joe’s home. Dunk (Rob Brydon), Welly (Diane Morgan) and Shirm (Jamie Demetriou) are on the interplanetary run from a zealous-yet-inept officer of the law named Zandro. The aliens determine that Fran’s rocket could provide their means of getting back home to safety.”
Thanks to a deal between Illumination (as part of Universal), Peacock, and Netflix, the intergalactic romance movie will be taking off to streaming shortly after its theatrical debut.
‘Not Alone’ Streaming Release Window, Explained
As a Universal Pictures production, Not Alone presumably falls under Universal Pictures’ current streaming deal with Peacock and Netflix. The terms of the partnership deal state that films will stay in theaters for a maximum of 120 days, before making their streaming debut on Peacock for 4 months.
Once those 4 months (or 16 weeks/120 days) are over, Netflix adds the Universal film to its library for 10 months, after which Peacock will have the streaming rights to the film once more, for an undefined timeframe. This is a similar streaming journey that The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, another Illumination/Universal film, embarked on.
If Not Alone keeps its planned theatrical premiere date of April 16, 2027, the animated film should arrive on Peacock by Saturday, 14 August 2027. 120 days from there, Not Alone should join Netflix’s catalog by Sunday, 12 December 2027 at the latest. After that, it should remain on the streaming juggernaut until fall 2028 — that is, if the constantly shifting world of streaming services and acquisitions stays somewhat stable.
When you think of the ultimate skincare secret weapon for smooth, even skin, retinol may be one of the first things that come to mind. To be fair, I have yet to come across a skincare expert that doesn’t swear by it. But if you’ve ever felt like your retinol doesn’t quite work as efficiently as you’d hoped, you may want to consider a more potent option. That’s where tretinoin comes into play.
“Tretinoin cream is a derivative of vitamin A and a topical retinoid,” says board-certified dermatologist and founder of Luma DermatologyNupur Patel, MD. “In a skincare world full of equal parts clever marketing, fear-mongering, and science, it is an ingredient that has undergone real scientific scrutiny and stood the test of time.”
While it’s helpful for those who struggle with stubborn acne, but it’s also become popular for treating other skin concerns like fine lines, uneven texture, hyperpigmentation, and clogged pores. So what’s the best way to incorporate this into your skincare routine? Find your step-by-step guide below with all the details.
How is tretinoin different from retinol?
The main difference to note is the potency. “Tretinoin is prescription-strength, pure retinoic acid that works directly at the cellular level, while retinol is an over-the-counter derivative that has to be converted by the skin twice, which makes it much gentler,” explains Patel.
She adds that all retinoids need to turn into retinoic acid to begin affecting our cells. With retinol, there’s a two-step process that has to take place (this is something your skin handles once the retinol interacts with your skin’s enzymes). With tretinoin, it’s already in it’s most active form. That said, it’s important to keep in mind that a stronger formula isn’t always better. “Retinol can be a great starting point for sensitive skin or someone new to retinoids,” says board-certified plastic surgeon Maryam Zamani, MD. “Ultimately, the best retinoid is one you can tolerate and use consistently.”
How to Use Tretinoin in Your Skincare Routine
Step 1: Cleanse
The first step to any skincare routine if you wear makeup starts with the removal process. You can use a micellar water or a makeup removing cleanser. “Try an oil-based cleanser applied to dry skin and then rinse with warm water,” says Patel. “Follow with micellar water on a cotton pad for tougher areas like eye makeup.”
If you’re not wearing makeup, you should still be cleansing (it’s a non-negotiable!). Patel recommends a gentle formula like the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser or Prequel’s Gleanser.

Step 2: Follow up with a serum
If you haven’t invested in a serum you like, this is your sign. This can be especially helpful if your skin tends to feel dry or tight after cleansing, but Patel warns that those with oily skin or rosacea should skip it. “For some skin types, simple is more effective,” she says. “For dryness, use a peptide serum with hyaluronic acid on damp skin to give back what you just stripped away.”
Step 4: Moisturizer
Think of your moisturizer as the MVP of your tretinoin skincare routine. You’ll need to do this step twice for the “sandwich method” (more on that below), so it’s really important to get clear on what kind of moisturizer works best for your skin type. This can be particularly tricky for those with oily skin. “With oilier or more sebaceous skin and no sensitivity, I would use La Roche-Posay Toleriane or Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cream,” says Patel.

Step 5: Tretinoin
Whether you plan on using tretinoin or a retinol, this is where you use the retinoid of your choice. Once the moisturizer absorbs, use a pea-sized amount, and apply it to your whole face. Zamani notes that you should avoid the eyelids, corners of the nose, and mouth during application. Then, prepare to go back in with your moisturizer.
Step 6: Moisturize again
This step is technically optional, but there’s a method to the madness here. “I like the “sandwich” technique of using moisturizer, tretinoin, then another light layer of moisturizer,” says Zamani. This can help reduce sensitivity, making it great for all skin types but especially for those with dry and sensitive skin.
Your AM Routine
Your morning routine will be a lot more straightforward, but there should be a major emphasis around using sun protection (ideally SPF 50 or higher). “Sunscreen matters enormously if you are using a retinoid at night, because retinoids make your skin more sun-sensitive,” explains Patel.
But before using sun protection, start by rinsing your face with water. If you have oil or scne-prone skin, Patel recommends using a gentle cleanser instead. If you can tolerate it, Zamani suggests adding add on an antioxidant-like vitamin C, followed my moisturizer and SPF.

What concentration of tretinoin is best?
There’s no one size fits all approach for tretinoin. That said, it usually comes in three different strengths: 0.025%, 0.05% and 0.1%. “I typically prefer to start patients at the lower end and increase only as tolerated,” says Zamani. Ultimately, the strength you need will be determined between you and your dermatologist.
What Are the Side Effects of Tretinoin?
Similar to retinol, there are a few side effects you may experience that are worth keeping an eye out for. This includes:
Dryness
Peeling
Redness
Flaking
Irritation
“Some of this is common during the adjustment period, and with the right strength and proper counseling, it is usually manageable,” says Patel. “A good routine is built around fitting the tretinoin to the individual patient’s skin type.”
How often should you use it?
Now that you have the key steps for incorperating tretinoin into your routine, you’re probably wondering how often you need to use it to reap the benefits. Spoiler: it’s not every night…well, at least not at first.
“The best retinoid is the one you can use nightly,” says Patel. “The goal is to use it every night without irritation.” Key phrase here “without irritation,” and that doesn’t happen right away for most people. Zamani recommends that patients start by using tretinoin two nights per week and then slowly increasing the frequency every four to six weeks or as the skin tolerates it, noting that starting too aggressively can cause skin irritation. If you’re still concerned about skin sensitivity, it’s best to get specific guidance from your dermatologist.
What should you avoid while using tretinoin?
Before starting tretinoin, keep in mind that you may have to make some adjustments to your current routine to prevent irritation and damage to the skin barrier. For example, you’ll want to skip on any AHA or BHA chemical exfoliants in addition to physical exfoliants. As previously mentioned, you should avoid sun exposure without adequate protection. You should also avoid tretinoin entirely if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. For other specific concerns, talk with your dermatologist.
WWE is bringing more star power from the music world to Sunday Night’s Main Event, with hip-hop artist Quavo set to take the stage for a special performance.
WWE confirmed the news on its official website. “Hip Hop Superstar Quavo will open Sunday Night’s Main Event in his hometown of Atlanta, performing an unreleased track off his upcoming album QROMELIFE, due out on all platforms soon,” WWE wrote.
“A lifelong fan of WWE, Quavo has made appearances at WWE Day 1, where his group Migos’ song ‘Straightenin’ was the official theme song for the PLE, took in WWE Bad Blood at ringside alongside Lil Yachty, and Yeeted alongside ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso on Raw in January of 2025.”
The “HOTEL LOBBY (Unc & Phew)” singer won’t be the only musical artist at the event as rapper Lil Yachty will face WWE United States Champion Baron Corbin later in the show. Should Yachty survive five minutes in the ring with Corbin, his friend and WWE star Trick Williams will earn a championship rematch against Corbin on the same night.
More Matches Announced for SNME

Elsewhere at Sunday Night’s Main Event, former friends Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes will collide in a WrestleMania 42 rematch. “The Viper” returned at SummerSlam to ensure that Rhodes lost his Undisputed WWE Championship bout against CM Punk. Now, they’ll face off once more, with tensions higher than ever.
Two of WWE’s biggest titans, Bron Breakker and Oba Femi, will also wrestle each other to determine who is the true future of the company. In six-woman tag team competition, former world champions Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss will partner with Tatum Paxley to take on Jade Cargill, B-Fab, and Michin.
WWE Sunday Night’s Main Event will emanate from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on Sept. 6, streaming live on Peacock in the United States and YouTube internationally.
UCLA fired athletic director Martin Jarmond on Monday and replaced him with Tim Harris, the former longtime president of business operations for the Los Angeles Lakers. The shake-up was announced in a letter from Chancellor Julio Frenk to the university community. Frank described it as a “new path forward for UCLA Athletics.” Jarmond, who had the job for six years, leaves immediately. The Bruins won three NCAA championships last season, including the first by the women’s basketball team. Harris, 64, will have the title of CEO and athletic director and work on a pro bono basis, Frenk wrote. Harris graduated from UCLA in 1989 with a sociology degree and played goalkeeper for the men’s soccer team while in Westwood. Harris spent over 35 years with the Lakers and left the NBA franchise in February, four months after the Buss family sold it to Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter. Harris was among Lakers governor Jeanie Buss’ inner circle who received a major financial bonus after the sale. The team was recently sold again. Jarmond, 46, replaced Dan Guerrero as AD in 2020. He signed a five-year contract extension in May 2024. During his tenure, the athletic department has run yearly deficits for seven consecutive years, totaling $241 million in shortfalls. UCLA joined the Big Ten Conference two years ago, raking in millions of dollars in media rights fees while also facing increased travel expenses. Its deficit was reduced to $21.6 million for the 2025 fiscal year. The university has repeatedly bailed out the athletic department to keep it afloat. Frenk cited the financial situation as a reason for the change. “UCLA Athletics currently carries a significant financial debt, and its current path is not sustainable,” Frenk wrote. “Now is the moment to build a model for Athletics that protects the breadth of our program, creates new opportunities for student-athletes and coaches, and supports itself through the revenue it generates.” Frenk mentioned the rapid transformation of college sports in recent years, propelled by name, image and likeness deals that allow athletes to earn money. “UCLA must have an athletics model that leads — not just keeps pace,” he wrote. Jarmond won’t be around to see the debut of his last major coaching hire. Bob Chesney arrived in early December from James Madison to reinvigorate UCLA’s moribund football program. The Bruins open the season at California on Saturday. Reporting by the Associated Press.
Nearly four months after their stunning WWE departures, Kofi and Austin Creed made their highly anticipated AEW debuts on Sunday at the All In pay-per-view.
Their thrilling debuts couldn’t have gone better, either. Kofi and Creed teamed up with Swerve Strickland in the Trios Roulette Royale to claim the AEW World Trios Championship.
Kofi and Creed performed as Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods in WWE, respectively. Since 2014, they were part of the legendary New Day stable, along with Big E, before the latter had to retire after a career-ending neck injury in 2022.
In a recent Q&A session, TC of WrestleVotes (h/t Ringside News) reported that one WWE source thinks the company is feeling some “regret” over the decision to move on from New Day.
“I did meet up with a source in WWE,” T. “He told me that this is the first time he thinks there is regret on WWE’s side of things for not having them come back. This is the first time there is a disconnect between TKO and WWE. The person I spoke to today said, ‘You know what? Maybe TKO mismanaged this one.’ People in WWE never wanted to see them leave.”
Other notable WWE talents to leave in 2026 include Apollo Crews, Sheamus, Aleister Black, Zelina Vega, Kairi Sane and the Wyatt Sicks stable.

Almost everyone has a good feeling who’ll finish first and second in the AFC East in 2026, but what will the order of those two teams look like? The Buffalo Bills are looking to get back to the top of the division behind Josh Allen after finishing behind New England last year. The Patriots enter with high expectations after making the Super Bowl last season while reloading on offense behind a developing core. With opening night of the NFL season just over a week away, the “First Things First” panel took a look at the AFC East, projecting how the standings will unfold for the Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots, New York Jets, and Miami Dolphins. All three panelists arrived at a unanimous consensus for the final order of finish. Nick Wright’s AFC East Prediction Nick Wright picked the Buffalo Bills to win the AFC East with an 11-6 record, placing the New England Patriots second at 10-7, the New York Jets third at 4-13, and the Miami Dolphins fourth at 3-14. Wright trusts Buffalo’s foundational offensive pieces to carry them despite defensive secondary questions. “Josh Allen healthy gives you a 10-win floor,” Wright said. “There’s other players in the Bills who are pretty good too. James Cook won a rushing title and is going to go top 10 in your fantasy draft. They have an awesome offensive line, and I think there’s a chance this is the year Dalton Kincaid finally lives up to some of his draft status.” Despite a tough early schedule for New England, Wright believes head coach Mike Vrabel and quarterback Drake Maye will push the Patriots into the postseason. “Three of their first four games at Seattle, at Jacksonville, at Buffalo. I don’t love that. I didn’t love how Drake Maye finished the season. However, I think Mike Vrabel is an excellent coach,” Wright said. “Overall, I do believe in Drake Maye, and I believe in young players progressing, even if it’s not linear. I believe they go 10 and seven, and I believe they make the postseason.” Wright did not have the same outlook toward Miami’s season. “They have more money and more dead cap money than any team in the league. Their four highest-paid players play for someone else. They might have the worst wide receiver core in the history of the league,” Wright said. Chris Broussard’s AFC East Prediction Chris Broussard agreed with the order of Wright’s, placing Buffalo in first place, New England in second, New York in third, and Miami in fourth, though he projected the Patriots to miss the postseason. Broussard pointed to their new head coach and a key addition at receiver as reasons Buffalo could get back to the top of the division. “I love the addition of D.J. Moore at receiver. Look, Sean McDermott was a great defensive mind. I think Jim Leonhard is going to bring some new stuff. They’re going to be doing some more modern stuff, and I think he’s going to have that defense clicking,” Broussard said. When evaluating New England’s record, Broussard cautioned against high postseason expectations. “I got three words for you: Super Bowl hangover. There’s no playoff stamp there. They play 11 teams that last year had a winning record, and one of the teams that didn’t have a winning record is the Chiefs,” Broussard said. Danny Parkins’ AFC East Prediction Danny Parkins mirrored the consensus, projecting the Buffalo Bills at the top of the division ahead of the New England Patriots with a playoff berth, New York Jets in third, and Miami Dolphins in fourth. Parkins expects immediate high-volume production from Buffalo’s new primary target. “D.J. Moore is going to be excellent for them. He had 140 targets last year for the Bears. He’s healthy. He’s going to be Josh Allen’s No. 1. I think he’s performed consistently as a true number one with way less quarterback talent, including in Chicago two years ago,” Parkins said. Parkins viewed New England as a dangerous playoff team despite facing a tougher schedule. “They are the most obvious better team, worse record candidate that I’ve seen in the last decade in the NFL. They’re really good. It’s just a really solid football team, but they’re not taking anyone by surprise,” Parkins said. “I still think they can be an 11-win team, but a better team, worse record, still very, very dangerous.” Parkins also detailed why Miami sits at the bottom of the divisional hierarchy. “We have not seen a team carry this much dead cap. It’s the worst wide receiver pass catcher group in the history of football. If your best player is a running back, but you’re never going to be leading, so you’re not going to be able to run the ball in the second half with De’Von Achane, that’s a problem,” Parkins said.
With an all-star cast, The Hunger Games prequel Sunrise on The Reaping is providing all the glitz and glamour of the Capitol. The film, based on the Suzanne Collins book of the same name, sees some of the franchise’s most iconic characters almost a quarter of a century before the original Hunger Games story takes place.
Oscar winner Kieran Culkin will take over from Stanley Tucci, and Elle Fanning will portray a younger Elizabeth Banks, portraying two of the games’ most eccentric characters, Caesar Flickerman and Effie Trinket, respectively. Ralph Fiennes will portray President Coriolanus Snow and Jesse Plemons will play Plutarch Heavensbee, originally performed by late actors Philip Seymour Hoffman and Donald Sutherland. Newcomer Joseph Zada will take on the lead role as Haymitch Abernathy (originally played by Woody Harrelson), with the film following the young tribute’s experiences as a Hunger Games tribute.
The highly-anticipated prequel is set to premiere in November this year, with a planned streaming window with Lionsgate Films’ partners in the months following its release.
‘The Hunger Games: Sunrise on The Reaping’ Prime Video Streaming Window, Explained
Lionsgate has its own streaming service, Starz, which becomes the automatic first-stop streaming home of all of the studio’s properties, once the theatrical and Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) windows come to an end.
Lionsgate also has a streaming deal with Amazon Prime Video, where films will reach the much larger streamer after making its debut on Starz. Major hits for the studio, such as Now You See Me: Now You Don’t or The Housemaid, are some of the most famous examples of the theatrical-Starz-Prime trajectory (per The Hollywood Reporter).
The average gap between a Lionsgate theatrical debut and its arrival on Starz is roughly 4 and-a-half months, according to data collected by 3Vision. This seems to be the case for the Lionsgate Michael Jackson biopic Michael, which premiered in late April and is set to join Starz on August 10.
With this in mind, and given that The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is set to premiere theatrically on November 20, the film should reach Starz by Friday, 29 January 2027, which is 10 weeks from that date. There is no solid data, however, that has been published regarding the average window between Starz and Amazon Prime Video.
However, a recent Forbes report estimated Michael would arrive on Prime from Starz around late 2026 or early 2027, giving the film a good few months to half a year on the smaller platform. Should this trajectory happen again for The Hunger Games, fans of the franchise who want to stream the video on Prime should expect it around the Summer 2027 mark.
The NFC East enters the upcoming season with its usual share of uncertainty and high expectations across all four teams. The Philadelphia Eagles are looking to earn the division crown for the third consecutive time after but after several offseason changes, the door may have opened for another team to knock the Eagles off. Dallas enters with a re-tooled defensive unit, New York looks to bounce back behind structural offensive upgrades, and Washington works through significant offensive line setbacks. With week one just around the corner, the “First Things First” crew predicted the NFC East, projecting how the season will unfold for the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Washington Commanders. Each panelist had a different pick for division champion, reflecting the uncertainty of the division of these four squads. Nick Wright’s NFC East Prediction Nick Wright selected the Philadelphia Eagles to win the division with a 13-4 record, projecting the Dallas Cowboys in second at 9-8, the New York Giants in third at 7-10 and the Washington Commanders fourth at 5-12. Wright favored Philadelphia despite offseason roster turnover, pointing to quarterback resilience and potential trade deadline activity. “All offseason, I have said the Eagles could be 13-4, they could be 7-10, and firing Sirianni. I landed for the Philadelphia Eagles at 13-4,” Sirianni said. “I think A.J. Brown is addition by subtraction. I think they know the salary cap chickens are coming home to roost in the next couple years because of the void year, so they will be extra aggressive at the trade deadline, as [Eagles general manager] Howie [Roseman] often is.” The Cowboys did not fully convince Wright as he projected them to miss the postseason. “Since Dan Quinn left, they’ve been awful. They’ve got nine wins. To me, I think they’ll be fun, interesting, but not good enough,” Wright said. He went on to pick New York third, expressing skepticism about quarterback Jaxson Dart. “Jaxson Dart’s not wearing his hat backwards. He’s wearing it sideways and cocked with maybe a bandana underneath it. And it is not someone you can trust to be your franchise quarterback,” Wright said. Wright added that Washington faces significant depth concerns. “I don’t like their weapons. The offensive line is banged up. They have a bad defense,” Wright said. Chris Broussard’s NFC East Prediction Chris Broussard differed at the top of the standings, picking the Dallas Cowboys to win the division, followed by the Philadelphia Eagles in second as a playoff wildcard, the New York Giants in third, and the Washington Commanders in fourth. Broussard expects an improved defensive unit to propel Dallas to the top spot. “Love the offense. Expect a huge year from Dak and his receivers. Love the new defensive coordinator Christian Parker and the additions that they made. I think their defensive line is going to be tough with Quinnen Williams and all these guys,” Broussard said. Regarding the rest of the division, Broussard projected Philadelphia to drop from the top spot while Washington struggles up front. “Last year, they became the first team in 23 years to repeat as NFC champions. I don’t think there’s a three-peat. I would love to see Jayden Daniels have a bounce-back year, a terrific year, but that offensive line with Laremy Tunsil is now out with a tear. I think they’re gonna struggle, and I think the defense isn’t that great either,” Broussard said. Broussard liked the head coaching hire of John Harbaugh for New York in third. “Love the hire of John Harbaugh in New York. I think they desperately needed a culture change. I think he’s in the process of doing it,” Broussard said. “Defense should be better, but it’s a tough division. I got them third.” Broussard added that Washington will struggle up front. “I would love to see Jayden Daniels have a bounce-back year, terrific year, but that offensive line with Laremy Tunsil is now out with a triceps tear. I think they’re gonna struggle, and I think the defense isn’t that great either,” Broussard said. Danny Parkins projected a surprise shift in the division, picking the New York Giants to finish in first place, followed by the Dallas Cowboys in second, the Philadelphia Eagles in third out of the playoff picture and the Washington Commanders in fourth. Parkins put Dallas in second as a playoff team, anticipating a high-scoring offense. “They’re going to be in the playoffs. They’re very good as the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys are going to throw 600 times. They’re going to score,” Parkins said. Conversely, Parkins expressed skepticism toward Philadelphia’s outlook following recent offensive struggles. “All they were last year was a bottom half of the league team in points, passing yards, rushing yards, total yards, and third downs, and they lost A.J. Brown,” Parkins said. Parkins projected Washington at the bottom, pointing to head coach Dan Quinn and offensive line injury troubles. “The Washington Commanders are in trouble, and I think Dan Quinn should be the heavy favorite to be first coach fired,” Parkins said. “When you need to keep your quarterback healthy and you have a bad offensive line and Laremy Tunsil goes down, that is just a very bad recipe.”
