A toss-up

On Sleeper's projections, Jared Goff and Aaron Rodgers are projected level. That's close to a coin flip: on these projections neither is the better start, and an injury report or a projection update before kickoff can tip it.

What the call rests on

  • Jared Goff: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 11:10 AM ET
  • Aaron Rodgers: Sleeper's projection, last changed Fri, Oct 30, 11:10 AM ET
  • Sleeper's projections read Fri, Oct 30, 11:11 AM ET.
  • Injury statuses read Fri, Oct 30, 11:11 AM ET, with the projections (hourly). A fresh projection time doesn't mean every status is: game-day inactives, about 90 minutes before kickoff, can come after it.

What could change it before kickoff

  • A projection update of 0 points or more in the other direction flips the call; Sleeper keeps adjusting its projections until kickoff, and this page reads them again at most an hour after it last did.
