NFL Sunday Showdown board: all 14 slates rated for October 4
DraftEdge's slate-by-slate Showdown board for Sunday, October 4: the best scoring environments, which games we rate low, and the headline finding. Captain pools are for subscribers.
Fourteen Showdown slates lock on Sunday, October 4, from an 8:30 AM CT kickoff in London to the 7:20 PM CT Sunday Night Football game. We went through every one of them, and this note is the slate-by-slate board.
Headline finding
The best scoring environments are JAX @ CIN (51.5 total) and DET @ CAR on Sunday night (50.5), and we still rate nothing on the board above the upper end of medium. Five games are LOW: unresolved quarterback situations, double-digit spreads, or totals under 40. Weak totals and one-sided scripts are where Showdown ceilings go to die.
The free half of this note is the headline and the chart above. Subscribers get every game: our confidence tier and why, the captain pool in our order, and the one thing at each game that can change the board before lock.
