🔮 A.J. Brown has a new, mysterious injury that may keep him out of this game after he missed practice Thursday and Friday.
🔮 The 0-6 Los Angeles Chargers come in as a 6.5-point underdog to the Rams, a number that I expected to get over a touchdown, but no one is taking the bait it seems.
🔮 The decision instantly backfired, as he went to reliever Kevin Kelly for the fifth inning with the hope that he could make quick work of the bottom of Milwaukee’s lineup, though the Brewers got three consecutive hits to extend their lead to 2-0.
🔮 Jake Paul’s return will coincide with the day before Santa Claus begins his route around the world.
🔮 The next best time to use the Bengals will be Week 18 against a solid Browns team.
🔮 I projected the Giants would move to +8 from +10 when McCarthy was announced starter, though that did not happen as John Harbaugh’s group won outright.
🔮 Mahomes gives a sort of eye-roll mixed with clear frustration after he couldn’t lead Kansas City on a touchdown drive in the marquee Week 7 game against the Super Bowl champions.
🔮 They’re both rated pretty much even in terms of DVOA, coming in at No. 17 in DVOA (No. 11 on offense, No. 25 on defense), while the Packers are No. 18 (No. 23 on offense and No. 4 on defense). So no, Micah Parsons is not active, but that really isn’t stopping them. Had Josh Jacobs not returned for the Packers, I’d be all in on the Over, and likely would have had some bets targeting the Over on both Christian Watson and Matthew Golden’s receiving yards. I’m still bullish on them overall, but Jacobs’ return allows Green Bay the option to run the ball much more.
🔮 NFL fans have were stuck watching the Falcons in three straight primetime games — and maybe, just maybe, there’s a reason for it.
🔮 As he is set for free agency, everyone is guessing who will take Aikman’s place, with many adding that Greg Olson could head to ESPN after being demoted to Fox’s No. 2 booth and some are even projecting that current NFL coaches will leave their respective positions to sit next to Buck.
