I read somewhere that the broadcaster is tinkering around with starting times to see if there’s any difference in viewership numbers. Has anyone read anything else on the subject? I’m curious to know. I do like the option of having a less sucky option should the circumstances warrant it.

Fallout:

-Lots of injuries: Saquon has a regular ankle (not high) sprain and will be out a few weeks. (do not waste your time picking up other backfield Giants) Montgomery has a thigh bruise, Anthony Richardson has a cabeca (for all of those readers in Portugal at the moment) issue, same with Waddle, OBJ has some ankle issue, Mooney got himself a knee but says he’ll play, Logan Thomas was done dirty and Edmonds is on IR.

-Giants Lead The League!…in negative point differential with -37. The Bears are 2nd with -28.

-Does Sack Wilson make it to the 6 game mark? I don’t think so, not with a few more 12-27 outings with 3 turnovers to boot. Is he that bad? He seems so…unprepared.

-The Day I Became a Puka Truther: 20 targets! 35 after two weeks! That kid can get separation. Kudos to those that took a flier on him after last week. There’s another wr rook doing well but he’s flying under the radar and that’s Tank Dell. (I hope to grab him in Math Hard! league, so leave him alone!) Houston will be behind all year so he should get lots of action if his puny 165lb frame holds up. (it won’t)

-That field goal by McVay, meaningless and yet so meaningful for the bettors out there. My tinfoil hat is giving me a hard stare.

To The Games!

Saints/Panthers:

-Olave and Thomas and Shaheed should do quite well given that cb Jaycee Horn is out.

-Bryce Young was a struggle squirrel vs Atl last week. Wait until he sees an even better defensing unit. He says the team needs chunk plays to get over the hump tonight so let’s see him air it out.

-I keep forgetting that Derek Carr plays for the Saints-speaking of ‘chunks’, he had 5 passing plays of over 20 yards and 2 over 40.

-Remember, this is an NFC South ‘showdown’, anyone can win this division.

Browns/Steelers:

-Thinking of playing the money line? Guess what Pitt’s record at home on Monday Night is over their last twenty games? That’s right, 20-0.

Diontae is out of this one but Amari indicated he could perhaps play today. We’ll see.

-Seven games into his Browns career and Deshaun has impressed no one. When pressured his sack rate is 30.7%, 4th-worse in the league. When he isn’t staring at the stars he’s connecting to  teammates at a 20 for 52 rate.

-With Heyward out and the Steelers giving up 5.5 ypc last week, expect huge amounts of Chubb. Cleveland ran for 200+ last week.

There you are.
