SIC Score is our proprietary numerical injury grading system that incorporates the health of every NFL team and individual players to give sports bettors, DFS players and fantasy owners an edge each week during the season. While it purposely doesn’t take into account coaching, schemes or matchups, SIC Scores give an accurate assessment of team/player overall health heading into a game.
JAX -4.5 @ IND
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Exciting as Anthony Richardson may be, he is still a rookie with limited offensive weapons against a mostly healthy Jaguars defense. The Colts may be down to their #3 running back, lack depth at WR and have some OL issues. Defensvie, Shaq Leonard is back but he does not seem to be close to the sideline to sideline defender he once was. The SIC algorithm relying on injuries has Jacksonville as the easy winner on the road.
AZ @ WAS –7
WASHINGTON COMMANDERS
Arizona is missing or limited at the #1 QB, WR and TE spots. Add the loss of DeAndre Hopkins and that is the top four offensive weapons and they start a QB that is just recently acquired. Washington will be missing Chase Young, but Terry McLaurin will play in limited fashion. This game has the largest team health differential of the week at 13.4
LVR +3.5 @ DEN
LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
Getting points as the double digit SIC score team health advantage is a wining formula. Look for the Raiders to spoil Sean Payton’s debut. The Broncos have RB, WR and OL injury issues as shown above and also missing two defensive starters. Other than the strange situation with Chandler Jones, Las Vegas has all its starters including Josh Jacobs back in the fold.
MIA @ LAC -3
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
A healthy Chargers squad hosting a Miami team with injuries at RB, OL and CB lead to another double-digit health advantage. Newly extended QB Justin Herbert has all of his starting offense around him, something he didn’t have all of last year.
