    After you make your picks then you find out who is on Covid Protocol and is doubtful/rest/inactive. I can't afford that this week.

    Is it gamesmanship to not let the public know that the season is over and that a team is going to rest players?? Nobody is stupid enough to pull a Doug Pederson, but I'm sure some teams have no plans on making a winning game plan or playing their best players in Week 18. I have a strong feeling that Cincinnati, Minnesota, Carolina, and Green Bay will be resting players. You won't be able to tell if Carolina is resting players though because they are so bad. Tampa Bay might save something for the playoffs too.

        don't make picks too early


        There's an updated Covid list on CBS-Sports. I think they update it once per day.

        As of now this is the most recent list

            Good stuff Rake. This will be a tough week picking straight up winners let alone ATS. Some teams don’t care about the last week at all. Not even the coaches.

                  Too much gamesmanship for me. I don't even know if Kirk Cousins is playing on Sunday yet and its Thursday because it is a meaningless game against the Bears. The Bears have already said Fields is not playing. How do you cap a game like that?

                    Nobody’s really resting players it doesn’t work

                    Fields is a non factor

                          That's the craziness of this. Aaron Rodgers WILL play on Sunday and he shouldn't.

                                  The Game Status Report provides clubs and fans with an accurate description of a player’s availability for the club’s next game. Teams must notify the league, their opponent, local and national media, and the league’s broadcast partners of the status of their injured players by 4 p.m. ET the day before their next scheduled game.

                                      NBA is 30 minutes before tip off.
                                      NFL is by 4pm the day before kickoff.
                                      MLB I think (I need to double check) you can scratch your starting pitcher up to the point where lineup cards are exchanged.

                                        Does the line move tell you who is NOT playing?? Do you know who the line is moving for??

                                          As I always say when there is a noticeable game day line movement.

                                                Ive never seen teams give-up like they have this year, especially Giants, Jags and Panthers. I think it has to do with lame owners (especially Khan) who just want a better draft pick (they fully realize what moving up in the draft takes and would just rather lose), and I think Khan really enjoyed the spotlight of having the number one pick. He is an owner who knows nothing and but knows basic math. Covid only compounds all of this, with more excuses and more reasons to give-up....

                                                Two things the NFL needs to change ASAP is that they need to implement a lottery system....If they had one in place this year, some of these teams would have been trying for the last three - five weeks, and you would have much more compelling week 18 games, for a number of reasons.

                                                Change the PAT Rule and bring it back to a short kick. Nobody wants to talk about a kicker missing a PAT as the reason why some team is going home: it's just horrible -and unnecessary pressure...

                                                      You above your pay grade here, Gold. There's ways to protect yourself and takes plays off at the same time, let alone not go all out and protect yourself. For D lineman, hit, engage and nothing more...O lineman can let guys go by with little risk to themselves....Guys don't want to lose their jobs, but picking your spot is encouraged...

                                                      Exhibit A. (here's a play here, where guys can achieve owners objective while not looking that bad at their main job. There were multiple plays by the Jags in this game)

                                                        Looks like Cousins is playing Sunday. What a mess. Zimmer probably will be fired on Monday regardless of who plays on Sunday, win or lose.

                                                            Dallas win only matters if rams lose

                                                            not sure how they play this

                                                              After Golladay injury Sunday I can see Dallas NOT playing more starters than Philly. I'll take Minshew over anything Dallas calls a backup QB. Dallas does not do Backup QB well. Probably the worst.

This is not like preseason where they announce. They may decide to pull them out after a couple series but they are not going to announce it before the game.
