9/20/20 Favorites and Underdogs
DeShaun Watson against Baltimore is the biggest fear amongst our favorites. As far as our upsets are concerned, it’s tough to see the Chargers beating the Chiefs though divisional battles are always tough. The divisional battle aspect also is of some concern in for Green Bay against Detroit.
