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.

Josh Allen might be playing the best football of his career.
If you are missing two of your top six players, it will be difficult no matter what team you are.
Once this week’s games are over, 50% of the season is done, and we should have a pretty good idea of who will make the postseason and who will not.
One of the two matches between ranked teams happens today, so we know both of them will move up or down the Top-25 list after this, with Arizona taking on Texas Tech.
Florida and Georgia play today, and a win here for Florida would go a long way for its case and probably hurt the Bulldogs quite a bit.
The Charlotte Hornets are not as terrible as you might think if you haven't followed the game recently.
However, the rest of the roster is filled out with guys who would be better at filling roles than filling holes.
I will grab UConn at +1250 to win the title, as I think this team will make at least an Elite 8 appearance.

If you want to find any "flaw" for the team, it might be that they are only winning by one run in about half of the games.
