Game of the Day

Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns · 8:15 ET

Huntington Bank Field · Market: PIT -2.5, total 38.5

Jaylen Warren is the busiest back on either sideline, and Cleveland's Quinshon Judkins is the only other runner projected for more than 50 rushing yards. Harold Fannin Jr. is the Browns' best bet to move the ball through the air: he is projected ahead of every Cleveland wideout, with a ceiling above 90 receiving yards roughly one night in ten.

Game of the Day

Buffalo Sabres at Columbus Blue Jackets · 7:00 ET

Nationwide Arena · Market: CBJ -108, total 6.5

Columbus opens at home against Buffalo, and the shot volume runs through two players. Tage Thompson and Zach Werenski are the only skaters on either side with a ceiling of six shots on goal, which is roughly a one-night-in-ten outcome for each.

Game of the Day

Indiana Fever at Las Vegas Aces · 9:00 ET

Michelob ULTRA Arena · Market: LV -4.5, total 181

A deciding Game 3 in Las Vegas puts the leverage at both ends of the floor. A'ja Wilson is the only player on either side projected for double-digit rebounds, while Caitlin Clark's ceiling is nearly 14 assists, roughly one night in ten.
