What could change it before kickoff
- Braelon Allen's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Omar Cooper Jr. is the start.
- 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.
