Las Vegas - Starting your NFL Sunday with the Chargers vs. Steelers. Thinking that the main issue is gonna be Herbert's mobility, if he plays. The Lightning Bolts are listing him as questionable on the injury report and either way you slice it, that's a PROBLEM. When you have T.J. Watt snorting and huffing on a search and destroy mission, if Herbert can't use his legs, he will be living in SACK CITY all afternoon. Just a reminder that T.J. has led the league in sacks three times and is tied with Michael Strahan as the all-time leader for a season at 22.5.

Which way do we turn? Throwing an either/or at you. Find a way to watch warmups and check out Herbert's movement. If he looks a little on the lame side, like my gramps walking to the pantry at midnight, the Bank of Benj is wide open in Pittsburgh. If he is prancing and dancing with no apparent limp, we're still buying Steel, but would lighten the bet to just a few pennies.

---------------------------------

And in the late window, we're looking at the Dolphins/Seahawks matchup.

No Tua, so it's Skylar Thompson at QB and if he gets dinged, Miami just signed Tyler Huntley off the Ravens' practice squad as his backup. Double ouch.

First year Seattle coach Mike Macdonald has given the keys to the offense to Geno Smith, one of the oldest QBs (33) in the league. Geno the Pizza Man has been around since 2013, the last five years in Seattle. He has been VERY accurate with the Seahawks, completing a touch over 70% of his passes. He also has a nice ratio of TDs (57) to INTs (22) the last five seasons. Geno also has maybe the best trio of receivers in the NFL with DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett. Probably why Pizza Geno is hitting over 74% of his strikes this season. And after doing extensive research, we noticed that Seattle has DOMINATED the AFC East, winning nine of the last 10. At 90%, ya gotta ride with the 12th Man and rock the Seahawks.
