Full rivalry history

Boom! Game of the Week is Fire Ready Aim (5-5) vs Cowboy Up (5-5), and the all-time series is dead even at 4-4 since 2018. League sources tell me this one is a coin flip with a sharp edge: Cowboy Up projects 122.0 to Fire Ready Aim's 122.4, but Joe Burrow's 27.6 projection gives Cowboy Up the bigger ceiling. My pick is Cowboy Up. Track it live on the live scoreboard and check the rivalry pages for every meeting since 2018.

Pacific Pigskins (9-1) are rolling on a W9 streak and I'm told they are the team to beat, with Jared Goff projected at 34.0 against Midwestside Connection. Money is nice, but championships are better, and Pacific Pigskins are built for both. Dark Magicians of Chaos (4-6) are the opposite story: a L3 skid and a projected 137.1 that still lags the rest of the slate. If you think your roster can flip that script, your lineup is where it starts.

Broadcast guide: the NFL slate hinges on Sunday's Cincinnati and Atlanta games, with Joe Burrow (CIN) and Bijan Robinson (ATL) carrying real weight for Cowboy Up and Computer Jocks. Lamar Jackson (BAL) is must-watch for Pacific Pigskins, and Josh Allen (BUF) is the headliner for Vitside Mafia. Don't get caught with a dead roster on game day, so check the live scoreboard as the games kick off.
