According to Pro Football Focus (PFF), they rated Burrow the best QB in the NFL this season. The biggest gaps between Burrow & Stafford concerned their response to pressure, as Stafford committed "turnover worthy plays" at almost double the rate of Burrow. For individual props, PFF likes the following:
Burrow over 24 1/2 completions, 12 1/2 rushing/receiving yards, over 11 1/2 rushing yards & under 1/2 interceptions, under 1 1/2 TDs, under 36 1/2 attempts, and under 4 1/2 carries. Similarly, with Stafford, PFF forecasts under 1/2 INT, under 1 1/2 TDs, and accepts the rest. According to the game logs at pro football reference, the typical stat line for each in their median performance this season would look very similar, with the big play edge to Stafford netting him a bit more. Their stat lines would look like the prop odds: 24 for 35 for 265 yards with net yards per attempt at 7.7 and a QB passer rating over 100. Defensively, Rams defensive line ranks much better than the Bengals, but the rest of the depth chart gets very comparable looks. Top-10 QBs against the Bengals during the regular season easily averaged a 100+ QB rating, until the playoffs, where even Mahomes ended up with a sub-90 passer rating. Rams defense equally stepped up in the playoffs, but also gave up a 95+ passer ratings 5 out of 7 games. Against top-10 passer rated defenses, Stafford averaged less than a 95+ passer rating, while Burrow did. The Bengals more pedestrian pass defense and Burrow's better-than-average performance against elite pass defenses and pressure suggest both QBs should have typically good games in the Big Game.

World Cup Semi Finals England vs Argentina - My Picks
0.5% Over 2.5 goals at 39c (good to 44c)
0.5% Both teams to score at 52c (good to 56c)
(Optional) 0.5% Game to go to penalties at 19c (good to 22c)
The second semi final will begin shortly between England and Argentina. This will be a fiery semi final as the two countries have a historical football rivalry going back to the 1980s when Diego Maradona scored his infamous "Hand of God" goal before going an mazy run to score one of the all time World Cup goals. It was a tense matchup even back then due to the military conflict between England and Argentina. This conflict may go back to before many fans were born but there is certainly no love lost between these teams when it comes to football.
England made it to the semi final with an athletic, transition based system under Thomas Tuchel. This has been effective against opponents who play more openly, such as Croatia and Mexico while struggling more against opponents who are able to ...
First, four factors dictate whether there is major turnover in the Senate in a midterm election independent of the favorability of the Senate map (due to only one-third of seats being up in any given midterm). Often, as was the case in both 2018 and 2022, is that incumbents are not destined to lose seats, outside of realigning elections in unfavorable maps. This cycle's map favors the GOP, which is why the prediction markets and most forecasters expect a GOP majority in the 2027 Senate. The four factors that prove dangerous to the incumbent party are: first, a recession or cost of living crisis; second, a war; third, a major scandal; and fourth, a sense of betrayal in the voter group that backed the incumbent amongst some portion of their prior electoral coalition. Five midterms feature some combingation of those factors in some significant degree: 1930, 1946, 1958, 1974 and 2006.
Without those factors present in multiple forms, the incumbent party can expect to hold on to seats in states it previously won outside the national margin. When those factors are present, the landscape shifts dramatically. Examining those White House incumbent seats that showed a state-wide election decided by single digits in the prior decade produces the following probabilities: the incumbent White House party lost at least 67% of its incumbent held seats, as much as 85% of its incumbent held seats, and an average of 75% of its incumbent hold seats, rarely upsetting the opposition party in any seat and often losing a surprise or two in seats considered completely safe.
