What could change it before kickoff

  • Kenny Gainwell's status (questionable): if he's ruled out, Oronde Gadsden is the start.
  • 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.
  • Kenny Gainwell plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Oronde Gadsden's late news is known.
