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.
New York Mayor Democratic Primary Update
Well, things are getting interesting.
Most of the polls up until now have shown Andrew Cuomo with a clear lead but today Emerson dropped a poll with Cuomo narrowly leading Mamdani on a first pass but after all the rounds of ranked choice voting had Mamdani ahead of Cuomo by 4. When this poll came out Cuomo's price took a plunge from mid 60s to mid 30. Later in the day a poll from HarrisX / Fix The City came out with Cuomo winning comfortable. Many are skeptical of the poll because of its crosstabs. Nonetheless, Cuomo rebounded and now both candidates are close to 50c each with the election day being tomorrow.
This has been a difficult race to read. Mamdani's momentum seems to be everywhere now, almost to an absurdly astroturfed extent. At the same time, his momentum seems to be primarily among affluent whites who are very vocal online whereas Cuomo hasn't really had a ground game but has been blitzing the TV networks. Cuomo is also polling better ...
