So there are four games this time around on the late slate so that’s…acceptable. The games themselves? We’ll have to wait and see but two of the matchups have been close historically so there’s that.

To The Games!

Commies/Cards:

The book on Daniels coming into his rookie year was that his footsies would help him out while his inaccurate arm progressed. [checks some stats] His completion percentage is 80.3% so far! While not sustainable, it is very impressive. Ekeler is out (imagine that!) so Robinson and his 4.1 yards after contact should have himself a great game. After a very slow start Harrison Jr. is living up to the enormous hype-not an easy thing to do when you’re called the best prospect to come out since…whoever.

Pats/Niners:

Is this Brissett’s last start? He averaging a paltry 122 yards passing so far and that number is unlikely to rise vs San Franny. As though starting Drake Maye would solve the myriad of issues that the offense has had for three(?) seasons now. At least they can rely on Rhamondre. Oh, he had 6 rushes for 28 yards last week? Huh. Jennings had an unbelievable game last week and is generally very efficient to the extent that Purdy has a perfect 158.3 rating when throwing him the ball.

Browns/Raiders:

According to 33rdteam Cleveland had the third-best offensive line last year and yet somehow Watson has been sacked 16 times already. [looks at injury report-sees three starters there] Ahhh… Eleven of the last twelve games between these teams have been won by fewer than two scores.

Chiefs/Chargers:

Here’s another series that has been much closer than one might expect-although K.C. has won five straight, seven of the last ten have been decided by 7 or fewer points. Herbert is dealing with a high ankle sprain so he’ll be limited with what he can do outside the pocket so the Chargers will have to get up early and slow the game down and I don’t think they can do that at this point. The Chiefs have swept the series 7 times since 2013 and the Chargers in-division record has been 23-43 during that time. Btw, this is the first time that a reigning Super Bowl and National Championship coach have ever played each other.
