What the call rests on
- Dalton Kincaid: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 7:20 AM ET
- Mason Taylor: Sleeper's projection, last changed Sat, Oct 31, 7:20 AM ET
- Sleeper's projections read Sat, Oct 31, 7:27 AM ET.

What could change it before kickoff
- Dalton Kincaid's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Mason Taylor is the start.
- A projection update of 2.5 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.
