What could change it before kickoff

  • A projection update of 2.1 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.
  • Khalil Herbert plays first (Sun 1:00 PM ET); once his game starts most platforms lock him in or out, before Tutu Atwell's late news is known.
