What could change it before kickoff

  • A projection update of 2.7 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.
  • Tucker Kraft plays first (Thu 8:15 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Carnell Tate's late news is known.
