What could change it before kickoff
- A projection update of 2.6 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.
- Dameon Pierce plays first (Sun 8:20 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Sam Roush's late news is known.
