• Monday: Week 12 mostly went according to form among larger favorites, but there were some surprising blowouts in games thought to be more competitive, and plenty of minor upsets.
• Sunday: Coronavirus continues to shake up the NFL, as Denver will play without any of the four quarterbacks who were on the roster
• Friday: the Pittsburgh-Baltimore remains in serious jeopardy of not happening this week, so make sure to review your pool’s rules on how it handles cancellations.
