I went 7-8-1 against the spread during Week 16.
I’ve had back-to-back near.500 weeks and we need to finish the regular season strong.
This week’s trendy thing to do is for head coaches to start their backup quarterbacks. Some are forced to do so, but the Broncos and Commanders are opting to bench their starters to see what their backups can do at this point in the season. I’m curious to see if Jarrett Stidham can do better under center for the Broncos than Russell “Let’s Ride” Wilson.
