Buck's Sunday Board: Eleven Games, Zero Excuses, Wings Ready

Scores

No final scores on my desk this morning. Nothing to roast yet. The recliner is warm, the wings are hot, and the remotes are within throwing distance. Let's get to it.

The Early Window

Noon Central, seven games. Buckle up.

Kansas City (6-2) visits Atlanta (3-6) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Houston (3-5) heads to Cleveland (5-4) at Huntington Bank Field. Minnesota (6-2) goes to Lambeau Field to face Green Bay (6-3). That one has real grown-up football energy.

Buffalo (7-1) goes to MetLife to face the Jets (2-7). Jacksonville (6-2) visits Tennessee (1-7) at Nissan Stadium. The Titans have one win. One. I hope somebody is tackling something in that building.

Then we have the basement bowls. Miami (1-7) at Indianapolis (2-7), and Carolina (3-5) at New Orleans (3-5). Two teams in each game are searching for answers. Somebody has to come out of each one with a win, and that is the only good news I've got.

The Afternoon Games

The Rams (5-4) go to Arizona (3-6) at 3:05 Central. Seattle (5-4) visits Las Vegas (4-5) at the same time. Pick a game, or do what I do and watch both with the sound off on one of them.

At 3:25, San Francisco (7-1) goes to AT&T Stadium to face Dallas (4-5). The Niners are 7-1. The Cowboys are a game over .500. Everybody in that stadium knows it.

Sunday Night

Pittsburgh (6-2) at Cincinnati (6-2) at Paycor Stadium, 7:20 Central. Same record, same division stakes, same Buck on the couch. Two 6-2 teams in prime time is exactly why I bought the extra-large sauce bottle.

Buck's Rules for Today

No leaving early. I mean it. Cold wings are banned in this house. And if I get sauce on my jersey before kickoff, that's a tradition, not a mistake.

I'll be back when there are final scores to yell about.
