Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

The teams may no longer be Northern California neighbours, but the rivalry remains strong between fans of the 49ers and Raiders.
Jacksonville -10.5 over BALTIMORE I don’t think you really could’ve expected much else from the Ravens offence given the quarterback situation and the weather making things even worse.
