Chiefs @ Chargers kicks it off tomorrow night. I'm very excited / intrigued to watch this game. On the one hand, it feels like the Chiefs are coming on strong as contenders. They have a difficult closing stretch (@ LAC, vs. PIT, @ CIN, @ DEN), but this is probably their toughest remaining game. From the Pats perspective, rooting for the Chargers. Even though their remaining schedule is pretty easy after KC (@ HOU, vs. DEN, @ LV), the Pats would hold a tie-break at 12-5 over the Chargers. The Chargers offense has been mostly humming over the last month (41, 41, and 37, but with a 13 point stinker in Denver as well). Will this game be a changing of the guard in the AFC West, or do the Chiefs make a statement on national TV? Rooting for the former, but my head tells me the latter is more likely.

If anyone wants to help me win about $13,000.00, I would appreciate it. I do a pool every year with a bunch of buddies in which you pick one college game and 2 NFL games per week for the season. It's $1,000/man to get in (this year, it's like 13k for the winner, 8k for second, 4k for third, 1k for 4th and 1k for last). Then when college ends, you pick 3 NFL bets (so 3 NFL this week). You can pick any game with spreads or any over under. You can't take both sides of a game (for obvious reasons).

I went 0-3 in week one, and have gone 30-9 since week 2 onwards (including the last five weeks in which I'm 14-1 picking against the spread). So I'm currently leading, sitting at 30 points (out of 42 possible) and I have a 2 point lead on second place. The tiebreaker is NFL record, in which I'm one point behind the guy in 2nd place.

Here is the issue. I'm going on vacation, out of the country tomorrow, and will have limited ability to constantly check COVID updates as we head into the game tomorrow night and the weekend games. If folks don't mind posting any injuries/COVID issues that pop up, players that are out, in this thread, I will truly appreciate it. Obviously, I know about the Browns issues as they stand now and Arizona seems to have some question marks, is Josh Allen going to play, etc.

Thanks in advance. Happy Holidays folks.

Good job by the Boston market to take the Panthers-Bills game over the Cowboys-Giants game.

Lets got Bolts.

LAC win here would be big for the Pats' chances of securing the top seed and I'd love to see the Chiefs lose the division and have to go on the road on WC weekend.

That's pretty unlucky, the turf concussed him. Chargers not rewarded on a good playcall and end up setting 7 points on fire

That’s so benign looking. Head hit the turf and he locked up. Scary.

Hopefully it’s just a severe stinger but yikes this doesn’t look good. Movement in arms and legs

Looks like he was either flexing or twitching / tensed up. That didn't look good. Really didn't look like a neck injury there
