Saturday, December 23rd

Hello Grinders. We have a massive 12 game slate this Saturday night. Not only is it a massive amount of games we need to cover, but there’s a ton of injury news and players whose status is uncertain as I’m writing this on early Saturday morning. Given these factors, I’m going to highlight my core plays but will keep it more brief than normal knowing things will probably change as the day develops. This slate has the feel of a stars and scrubs lineup, so it’s important we nail the right scrubs. Just a heads up, but I’ll be hosting my family for an early Christmas lunch on Saturday so my response time on updates and comments will be slower than normal, but I’ll be sure to make updates closer to lock.
