How much of an edge does the better quarterback give you? Is Patrick Mahomes with just Kelce better than Tua with Tyreek and Waddle? Do you like the Lions and their explosive weapons or Matthew Stafford’s YOLO balls? And what do you do with a 38-year old Joe Flacco doing his best 27-year old Joe Flacco impression against the best rookie QB we’ve seen since at least Dak Prescott?

At least four games this week will feature backups on both sides of the ball, so who do we take? The coaches and the points!

I count 14 backup quarterbacks in line to start this week, and I’ve never looked forward to the reduced slate of the playoff schedule more. Of course I don’t want to count on Easton Stick; but getting points against Jarrett Stidham? Aidan O’Connell on the road against Gardner Minshew? Let’s close our eyes and hope for the best.

The holidays are here! Grab your seasonal beverage of choice and settle in with your loved ones for a 15-game weekend over the course of three days. Hopefully these picks can guide you to a little extra holiday cash along the way.

Is Joe Flacco ready to turn into a pumpkin again? Can the Texans’ incredible turnaround continue with Davis Mills back under center? Why did anyone have to watch Easton Stick vs. Aidan O’Connell, and how did either team score 60 points? We don’t have all the answers, but we’ll do our best!
