AFTERPAD

isn't exactly known as a someone who's willing to take a discount, but that's exactly what happened on Sunday night when he  with the .According , Wilson's new contract will pay him the league minimum of $1.21 million for the 2024 season, which is a bargain-basement price for a BACKUP quarterback in the , let alone someone who might end up starting for your team.To put Wilson's salary in perspective, just consider this: Backup quarterbacks like ($1.72 million), ($2.25 million) and ($3.5 million) are all scheduled to make more money  https://www.76erstoreshop.com/ than Wilson in 2024. , who will now be competing with Wilson for the starting QB job in Pittsburgh, will also make more thanks to his salary of $1.98 million.Although Wilson struggled during his two seasons with the , he's still a nine-time Pro Bowler who could have commanded more on the open https://www.76erstoreshop.com/clarence- … oon-jersey  market in free agency, but instead, he settled for the league minimum.  So why did he do it? The answer has everything to do with something called "offsets."If a team still owes you money when it cuts you, it has to pay you that money, but if you sign with another team, the amount you sign for is subtracted from what your old teams owes you.In Wilson's case, when the Broncos made the , they knew they were going to have to pay him $39 million in 2024 even though he wasn't going to be on the team, so Wilson knew he was going to be paid nearly $40 million for the upcoming season no matter what he did. If he had decided to sit out the 2024 season, the Broncos would have still been on the hook for the full $39 million.  Since the Steelers are paying Wilson $1.21 million, that cuts down on Denver's obligations to Wilson, so now, https://www.76erstoreshop.com/tiago-splitter-jersey  the Broncos will only owe him $37.79 million for the upcoming season. If Wilson had signed a $25 million contract with the Steelers, then the Broncos would have only had to pay him $14 million.For Wilson, signing a cheap contract makes sense for two reasons: A lower salary makes him a much more attractive free agent. If Wilson had been looking to land  https://www.76erstoreshop.com/wilt-chamberlain-jersey a $25 million deal, the Steelers probably would not have been interested, but at $1.21 million, it becomes a potential steal. It's a low-risk signing with the po sibility of a high reward for Pittsburgh.Wilson now has a chance to earn the starting QB job for a team that made the playoffs last season and if he can get the Steelers back there, he could earn a huge payday for 2025. This becomes a prove-it deal for Wilson, but unlike most prove-it deals, Wilson is getting $37.79 million on top of his salary from the Steelers, which becomes a nice safety net in case he struggles in Pittsburgh.  It's also po sible that Wilson just wanted to stick it to the Broncos. He clearly  https://www.76erstoreshop.com/charles-barkley-jersey had a rocky time in Denver and by signing for the league minimum, the Broncos will now be stuck paying him $37.79 million in cash on top of the $85 million in dead cap they'll take over the next two seasons.

Lets start with a fact; the title is in Man Citys hands. If they win their games in hand they go three points clear at the top with a superior goal difference. If they drop any points at all the title will go to the team that goes the rest of the season without dropping a point but we all know football is never that simple. There will be shocks, injuries, suspensions and fixture congestion all along the way. As a Liverpool fan I am staying grounded, but when will it be OK to dream? Whatever happens this has been a fantastic season and a joy to watch with Champions League football almost guaranteed to return to Anfield, but can it still get better? Lets look at the key factors that will determine what happens in May.Man CityAs I said in the first line the title is there to be won for Man City. They are in a position where if they win their remaining games they win the league. But the strain of a fixture pile up caused by their 3 games in hand could be a  https://www.wildofficialshop.com/jason- … ids-jersey negative factor for their chances, that plus the pre sure of needing to win each of these. However, they do have a deep squad with the experience of winning big matches. Vincent Kompany being suspended could be big, as the defence lacks strength without him and the whole team lose a leader. They were fine in their first game without him, but with respect Fulham were never likely to cause them any problems, United and Arsenal away this week will be the big tests. United will not want their noisy neighbours to win the league and will do everything in their power to prevent it, Rooney and Van Persie could be too much for a City defence without Kompany. Arsenal arent looking great of late, but at the Emirates could still cause problems. If City can pick up 6 points from these games they would have ridden the worst of it and should go on to win the league. As City are out of the cup competitions there isnt too much of a fixture pile up, the other games to look at are Liverpool away, they then only have 3 https://www.wildofficialshop.com/andrew … men-jersey  days to recover before Sunderland at home on April 16th, Everton away on May 3rd could also prove tricky.ChelseaDespite what Mourinho constantly says, Chelsea are not the outsiders for the title. They are top of the league and at this stage of the season points on the board are more important than games in hand. Chelsea have the easiest run in by far, with Liverpool away looking like the only real test left for them. However, Chelsea still have Champions League responsibilities mid-week and the extra games could be a contributing factor in how many points they pick up in the league. But as we saw last week Ramires and Willian being sent off has little affect to the team, they have so much in reserve suspensions are only a big concern in defence. Chelsea havent been the most consistent of teams this season either, although they sit top of the league they have dropped points in some unexpected matches; 2-2 at home and 1-1 away to West Brom, 1-0 defeat to Villa and 0-0 at home to West Ham. They still have some games against sides at the bottom who need points coming up so picking up maximum points from their remaining 7 games is no forgone conclusion. Obviously, Liverpool away on April 27th is the big game, if Liverpool keep winning that could be a game that puts them above Chelsea. If Liverpool go into the game  https://www.wildofficialshop.com/mats-zuccarello-jersey above them already expect an open game, if Chelsea still hold the advantage expect a cla sic cagey Chelsea away performance against one of the big sides. If I had to pick out other potential banana skins I would say; Palace away this weekend and Swansea away in April could see them drop points. I cant see them seeing the season out with 7 more straight wins.ArsenalTheir defeat to Chelsea has all but ended their hopes, even though they would be only be 4 points behind Chelsea if they won their game in hand they have tough games coming up and 4 points is still a big gap at this stage of the season. This weekend they host City and the following weekend they are at Everton, 6 points may give them a fighting chance or it may just give Chelsea the title.Hull away and Norwich away on the last day are other games which could see Arsenal fighting for their place in the top 4, but it is a tall order for Everton to catch Arsenal at this point, a win when they host them at Goodison Park is huge.LiverpoolLiverpool arguably has the toughest run in, https://www.wildofficialshop.com/ryan-h … ids-jersey  but do not have any cup competitions to worry about like Chelsea and Arsenal. Top 4 seems a few points away from confirmed, 3rd place is the next very real target and a first league title since 1990 is in their hands. I say this because they still have to host Man City and Chelsea, and winning these plus the other 6 games left would win them the league (if City drop 2 more points) so yes a lot of ifs and buts and a title which is a very long way away from happening.Liverpools defence has been a concern this season but a strike force that has contributed to 82 league goals this season has resulted in 20 victories out of 30 games. In addition to City and Chelsea, they still have to host Spurs and travel to West Ham, Norwich and Crystal Palace. These games may seem simple to a side as free scoring as Liverpool but the Reds away form is pretty average and these are teams with unpredictable home records who need to win (with the exception of West Ham). One defensive mistake and the title dream could end.Liverpool are certainly third favourites but they are playing with confidence and a desire to end the long wait for a league title. They have it in them to do it, but I think it may just be a season to soon. If they go into the Chelsea game with the chance to go top it will be the time for Liverpool fans to start to dream.Whatever happens this has been the most exciting title race, arguably, ever. No one can be sure who will win it and Im not sure we will https://www.wildofficialshop.com/jared-spurgeon-jersey  do until the final day of the season, those fixtures by the way are; Liverpool v Newcastle, Man City v West Ham and Cardiff v Chelsea; Cardiff the only other team who could be playing for something. May the excitement continue all the way!

During his Thursday morning pre s conference, general manager Jon Robinson informed reporters that the team is taking precautions with the virus, wearing masks and social distancing, of the Titans' official website. He also said that the Titans' vaccination rate is 97 or 98 percent.It's a good thing that Tannehill is vaccinated, as it should make for a quicker return.

In the wild-card round against the , put together one of the best games of his seven-year  https://www.storekcchiefs.com/Darwin_Th … Jersey.NFL NFL career. Despite starting the game 0-for-3 pa sing due to three dropped pa ses, Prescott finished the evening having completed 25 of 33 pa ses for 305 yards and four touchdowns, while adding 24 yards and a score on the ground. He was sacked just once and did not turn the ball over. Next up for Prescott is the -- the team that eliminated Dallas from the postseason a year ago. Ahead of the rematch, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan sang the praises of Prescott, noting how difficult it is to defend him when he is on his game."Dak has always been a challenge," Shanahan said during his pre s conference, , "when you're a pure pocket pa ser who can make all the throws in https://www.storekcchiefs.com/Christian … Jersey.NFL  there and read the defense really well and get the ball to the right spots and do it accurately. That's why he's had the career he has and when things do break down, he's got a knack for how to get out of that pocket and make some off-schedule plays. That's why he has had such succe sful career so far."          https://www.storekcchiefs.com/Eric_Fisher_Jersey.NFL     DAL  QB  #4  CMP%66.2YDs2860TD23INT15YD/Att7.26 A "pure pocket pa ser" is certainly not the descriptor one would have a signed to Prescott when he entered the NFL out of Mi si sippi State back in 2016, but that is what he has become over the years. He struggled with turnovers this season -- he threw an NFL-high 15 interceptions, though some of those struggles were aided by four drops that turned into intercepted pa ses, as well as some poor luck, as his interceptable pa ses were dropped by opponents at half the league-average rate -- yet still finished the regular season ninth in the NFL in expected points added per dropback thanks to his willingne s to push the ball downfield in an effort to create big plays.  That's an area where Prescott struggled in  https://www.storekcchiefs.com/Cameron_Erving_Jersey.NFL the matchup against the 49ers last season, as he repeatedly checked the ball down underneath against San Francisco's soft zone coverages. He completed just 23 of 43 pa ses (53.5%) for only 254 yards (5.9 per attempt), one touchdown, and one interception in that contest, as Dallas' league-leading scoring offense sputtered to only 17 points in the defeat. It will be interesting to see  https://www.storekcchiefs.com/Derrick_Nnadi_Jersey.NFL how a much more aggre sive version of Prescott fares against a very similar defense in both personnel and structure, particularly because the will likely need him to maintain that aggre sion while replicating last week's turnover-avoidance if they are to keep up with what the San Francisco offense has been doing of late.

The past few days have filled us with turkey and football as we enjoyed action on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday over the holiday weekend, and we still have one more game on deck between the and on Monday night. That NFC North showdown will cap off Week 12 which was a very profitable slate for the public. Teams that 60% of the handle or more against the spread either cashed or pushed on Sunday, per . We also had a wild last-second cover in the Ravens-Chargers game on Sunday night thanks to rushing in a 37-yard touchdown with over 90 seconds to play.So, what will this final game bring? We'll soon find out. As we wait for that divisional head-to-head to kick off, let's take our first peek at all the Week 13 matchups and get our impre sion on the early lines to see if there is anything they can tell us about who the oddsmakers initially see coming out on top. GameEarly lineEarly totalEarly moneyline at (Thursday)Cowboys -7.546Seahawks +286,  https://www.storebaravens.com/Ronnie_Stanley_Jersey.NFL Cowboys -362 at Texans -345.5Broncos +133, Texans -158 at Lions -3.544.5Lions -181, Saints +152 at Titans -242.5Colts -133, Titans +112 at Chargers -5.541.5Chargers -222, Patriots +182 at Steelers -640Cardinals +212, Steelers -261 at Falcons -2.535Falcons -143, Jets +121 at Dolphins -9.550Dolphins -451, Commanders +343 at Buccaneers -638.5Panthers +212, Buccaneers -263 at Rams -4.538.5Browns +174, Rams -212 at 49ers -246.549ers -130, Eagles +110 at Chiefs -6.542.5Chiefs -303, Packers +240 at (Monday)Jaguars -840.5Bengals +300, Jaguars -381Seahawks at Cowboys (Thursday)The Cowboys not only are 5-0 ATS at home this season (NFL-best), but they've also thrashed teams in the proce s. They have an average margin of victory at AT&T Stadium of 29 points and have an ATS +/- of +18.7. Seattle may be the best team that has rolled into Dallas this season, but there will likely be a lot of folks flocking toward laying the points with the Cowboys. Already, the line has moved from Cowboys -7 to Cowboys -7.5. The Seahawks are  https://www.storebaravens.com/Lamar_Jackson_Jersey.NFL 3-2 ATS on the road this season. Broncos at TexansDenver is arguably the hottest team in the NFL at the moment as they just picked up their fifth consecutive win on Sunday by taking down the Browns to move above .500 for the first this season. They'll now roll into Houston with a field goal in their pocket as they try to keep the streak alive against the Texans. While the Broncos have put together SU wins as of late, they haven't been that reliable this season against the number on the road. They are 1-2-1 ATS away from Mile High. However, Houston hasn't exactly defended NRG Stadium all that well either with a 2-4 ATS record at home. While these two teams do feature high-profile quarterbacks, the Under could be worth a lean as it is 13-9 between these clubs this season.Lions at SaintsBettors expect a bounce-back from the Lions after being upset by the Packers on Thanksgiving. After opening up as a three-point road favorite against the Saints, Detroit is now laying 3.5 points. Dan Campbell's team has looked a bit vulnerable in recent weeks, but they have been a solid bet on the road. Away from Ford Field, the Lions are 4-1 ATS. That includes a 3-0 ATS mark as a road favorite. As for New Orleans, this is the first time this season that they'll be underdogs at the Superdome. This year, they've yet to cover a game at home, going 0-4 ATS. Colts at TitansIndianapolis is a 2-point road favorite as they gear up for an AFC South matchup against the Titans in Nashville. While Tenne see is 4-7 and in last place in the division, they are slept on as a fantastic bet at home. At Ni san Stadium, the Titans are 4-0 ATS this season and all but one of those games came as a home underdog. To their credit, the Colts have played well with under center and are currently the No. 7 seed in the AFC playoff picture. They've also been strong on the road with a 3-1 ATS record outside of Lucas Oil Stadium.Chargers at PatriotsThe bottom has completely fallen out on the Patriots as they've dropped to 2-9 on the season and are arguably the worst team in the NFL. The quarterback situation continues to be in flux as was once again benched mid-game for . Now, they are getting 5.5 points as a home underdog to the Chargers and it wouldn't be surprising to see that number increase. This line initially opened at Chargers -4.5. L.A. hasn't been stellar this season either, but are leagues ahead of the Patriots, specifically at the quarterback position with . The Chargers are 2-3 ATS on the road this season, which includes a 1-2 ATS record as a road favorite. Meanwhile, the Patriots are 1-4 ATS in Foxborough and 1-2 ATS as a home underdog.Cardinals at SteelersIn the aftermath of firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, the Steelers finally topped 400 yards of total offense on Sunday as they edged out the Bengals. They'll now host a Cardinals team that was just blown out by the Rams, who piled up 457 yards of offense. Still, there does seem to be some faith in Arizona to bounce back a bit as this line has moved from Steelers -6.5 to Steelers -6. Pittsburgh is 4-2 ATS at home this season while the Cardinals are 2-4 ATS on the road. Bettors also might be thinking there could be some regre sion from this Steeles  https://www.storebaravens.com/Alex_Lewis_Jersey.NFL offense as the total dipped to 40 after opening at 40.5.Falcons at JetsThe Falcons emerged from the bye week and earned a critical victory over the Saints on Sunday that now has them in first place in the NFC South. They'll look to maintain their standing when they travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the Jets, who are sticking with at quarterback despite a lackluster showing in the lo s to Miami last Friday. Atlanta has struggled on the road this season as they are 1-3 ATS, but are looked at as a 2.5-point favorite in this matchup. The Falcons have been a road favorite twice this season and have failed to cover each time. The Jets are 3-3 ATS as a home underdog.Dolphins at CommandersBoth of these teams will be working on extended rest after the Commanders played on Thanksgiving and the Dolphins played on Black Friday, so there really won't be much advantage for either side in that regard. Miami is a sizable 9.5-point road favorite, which is a rather dramatic bump from where they opened as a 7-point favorite. Washington is 0-1-1 ATS as a home underdog this season and 0-4-1 ATS overall at FedEx Field. The Dolphins haven't been as lethal on the road as they've been at home this season, but they are 2-0 ATS as a road favorite with an average margin of victory sitting at 14 points.Panthers at BuccaneersThe Buccaneers dropped to 4-7  https://www.storebaravens.com/Jaleel_Scott_Jersey.NFL on the season with the lo s to Indy on Sunday, but are still just a game out of the lo s column for first place in the division, so they have plenty to play for as they head back to Raymond James Stadium to host the Panthers, who just fired head coach Frank Reich. This is the first time that these division rivals have faced one another this season and Carolina dropped to 1-10 on the year after falling to the Titans. The Bucs are 2-3 ATS at home this season while the Panthers have yet to cover on the road, owning a 0-5-1 ATS record entering Week 13.Browns at RamsThe Browns had their three-game winning streak snapped against the Broncos on Sunday and suffered several injuries in the proce s. left the game due to a concu sion and (rib) also exited the game early. Most notably, star pa s rusher was also spotted in a sling postgame. Those ailments along with the Rams dropping 37 points in Week 12 columnated in this line shifting rather dramatically. L.A. was initially a 1-point favorite in this head-to-head, but his number has now jumped to Rams -4.5. The Rams are 2-3 ATS this season at home.49ers at EaglesWe have ourselves a potential NFC Championship preview on Sunday with the Eagles hosting the 49ers. San Francisco will have the rest advantage after playing on Thanksgiving and it appears momentum is shifting in their favor. After the Eagles opened as a 1.5-point favorite, the Niners are now favored by two points on the road. If this holds, Philly https://www.storebaravens.com/Jimmy_Smith_Jersey.NFL  would be the first team with a record of 10-1 or better to be a home dog since the merger (excluding the final week of the season where teams rest starters). The 49ers have been a road favorite six times this season and are 3-3 ATS in those games.Chiefs at PackersKansas City opened as a 7-point road favorite in this primetime matchup at Lambeau Field, but that line has dropped down a key threshold as the Chiefs are now laying 6.5 points to the Packers on the road. is coming off arguably his best game of the season on Thanksgiving in the upset win over the Lions, which could be part of the reason why this line has dropped a bit. Green Bay is 2-1 ATS as a home underdog this season. As for the Chiefs, their offense struggled early in Week 12 against the but finished with 31 points as they moved to 8-3 on the season. Kansas City is also 3-2 ATS as a road favorite this season.Bengals at Jaguars (Monday)This number continues to build in favor of the Jaguars. Jacksonville opened as a 7.5-point favorite over Cincinnati and is now laying eight points as they look to move to 9-3 and further hold a grip on first place in the AFC South. Meanwhile, the Bengals could only muster 10 points in the lo s to Pittsburgh in first start since season-ending injury. That said, it was the lack of a running game for Cincinnati that contributed to that lo s. The Jaguars are 2-3 ATS at home this season and have yet to cover in the two instances where they've been favored at EverBank Stadium.
