MBills and Ravens at one o'clock is a scheduling crime.
LLamar Jackson returns and they bury it on the early slate. Ryan Reynolds NFL posted the same thing on X.
MThe NFL took five-and-one Buffalo and four-and-three Baltimore and made it a regional game.
LThe best quarterback matchup of the weekend, and they buried it on the early slate.
MJosh Allen against Lamar Jackson, and most of the country gets it on mute.
LBaltimore needs this more. Four and three, Lamar's back, and they're already behind in the division.
MBuffalo's five and one. They're playing for the one seed. Don't tell me they don't need it.
LI'm not saying they don't. I'm saying Baltimore's season is on the line. Huge difference.
MSo you agree with Ryan Reynolds' take?
LI agree it should be prime time. Not sure I agree the Ravens need it more. Buffalo's schedule gets rough after this.
MThen we're fighting about the right thing. The league buried this game.
LAnd meanwhile Frascella's Week 8 QB rankings are out on X. Josh Allen is alone in Tier 1.
MLamar Jackson is seventh. Behind Caleb Williams. That's the real crime.
LCaleb Williams is playing out of his mind. He's got the Bears offense looking dangerous with less around him.
MLess around him? He's got Moore, Odunze, Swift. Lamar has what? Mark Andrews and a committee.
LAllen's the MVP favorite, Burrow's hotter, and Caleb has closed the gap. Seventh isn't insane.
MIt's insane. You put Lamar on Buffalo and that team scores fifty a game.
LMaybe. But Buffalo's offensive line and receivers are better right now. That's why Allen is one.
MLamar is the best running quarterback in the league. He's top three. Full stop.
LI'll give you top five. Not top three.
MYou're wrong, but I'll let you live with it. I'll take Buffalo by a field goal anyway.
LI'll take the Ravens plus the points. We'll find out Sunday.
MAn account on X called OffshoreInsiders says Green Bay fell from seven to three and a half. Major line move.
LWait, who's out?
MThe post says three starters are ruled out. But no independent source has confirmed it yet. That's a rumor until the injury report.
LIf that's real, Carolina backers are dancing. Three starters on a short week at Lambeau matters.
MIt would matter. But I'll believe a three-point spread when the team says it. The account calls it a major line collapse.
LCarolina's offense has been better, but Thursday night in Green Bay is still a tough ask.
MAnd if three starters really are out? Then the line's right. But I need official word.
LI need the injury report before I touch that game. Until then, it's noise.
MThen here's some betting noise that needs a correction. Cody Brown Bets on X says sixty-six NFL props have cashed in every single game this season.
LSixty-six? That sounds like a parlay trap.
MI checked one. Trey McBride seven-plus receptions. He's hit in nine of his last ten, not ten of ten. The list leans on alt lines.
LSo the every game label is already shaky.
MIt's not a clean full-season list. That's the whole point.
LGood thing we're not building our pregame around that.
MMLB posted on X the hardest hits of 2026. Elly De La Cruz, Jo Adell, Junior Caminero.
LDe La Cruz swings like he's mad at the baseball.
MOne exit velocity sounded like a fender bender. The kid is a problem.
LElly might be the most exciting player in baseball who won't see October.
MThe Reds have to get him help. You cannot waste that kind of power.
LWe're in football and basketball mode, but that clip's worth your screen.
MSarah Pope posted on Bluesky that a fox is destroying soccer balls and basketballs outside her classroom. Staff can't get rid of it.
LFoxes are ungovernable. That's the best sports headline of the day.
MThe staff has basically surrendered to it. Somebody write that down.
LThat fox has more fight than some defenses we watched last weekend.
