Our slate feed lists 133 games for Monday, September 28, 2026: 59 college football, 16 NFL and 58 FCS. Live research confirms 1 of them: the Philadelphia Eagles at the Chicago Bears, 8:15 PM ET on ESPN, closing out Week 3. We could not verify any college or FCS kickoffs for today, and a Monday date makes a full Saturday-style board unlikely. We treat the feed listing as a data discrepancy, not a schedule. This outlook therefore centers on one game, and we would rather say that plainly than preview games that may not be played today.
As of this writing, 0 calls are posted to the public ledger for today. Picks post through the day. Every call we publish records the selection and the line, and settles on our public, tamper-evident ledger, where wins and losses are both permanent.
College Football
The feed lists 59 games, including Penn State at Northwestern, Notre Dame at North Carolina, Alabama at Mississippi State, Ohio State at Iowa, Auburn at Tennessee, Vanderbilt at Georgia and Michigan at Minnesota. Our research could not confirm any of these for September 28. Until a schedule is verified, the model will not generate or publish college numbers against these listings. If the feed is carrying a prior or future Saturday card, we will address those games on the correct date. No college calls are posted, and none are planned today.
NFL
Philadelphia Eagles (2-0) @ Chicago Bears (1-1), 8:15 PM ET, ESPN
The other 15 NFL matchups in the feed, including Chiefs at Dolphins, Ravens at Cowboys and Bengals at Steelers, are not on tonight's confirmed schedule. Monday night is the only NFL game we are evaluating.
Philadelphia. The Eagles are 2-0 despite a new offensive scheme and injuries to key personnel. Their offensive line protected well last week in Tennessee, and the final drive of that game drew strong reviews in team coverage. The injury report is the main variable:
- Out: WR Hollywood Brown (ankle), TE Dallas Goedert (knee), T Fred Johnson (knee). - Johnson was added Saturday after participating in Friday's practice, a late change that matters because the line's pass protection was a strength in Week 2. - Questionable: LB Jonathan Greenard (pectoral), who practiced fully for the first time this season after missing Weeks 1 and 2.
That is 2 pass-catchers and 1 tackle removed from an offense already adjusting to a new system. Greenard's status could offset some of that on the other side of the ball if he plays.
Chicago. The Bears are 1-1 at Soldier Field. The defense has been uneven: it struggled against Carolina, then allowed 9 points to Minnesota. The offensive identity is a league-best rushing attack led by D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai, which gives Chicago a way to shorten the game regardless of who plays quarterback.
The quarterback question. One preview reports that Caleb Williams (hamstring) is ruled out, with Tyson Bagent or veteran Case Keenum starting. We have not found official Bears confirmation of that. What is confirmed: Bagent has cleared concussion protocol and carries no game status designation. We are treating the Williams report as unverified. It is the largest single input on this game, and we will not publish a number that depends on it until it is resolved.
What the model weighs. In general terms, a disciplined model for a game like this looks at:
- Quarterback identity and the size of the drop-off, priced from verified status only, not from previews. - Line continuity, especially a late tackle scratch against a defense that can rush the passer. - Target redistribution when a wide receiver and a tight end are out together. - Rushing leverage: how a top-ranked ground game interacts with game script and clock. - Small samples: 2 games per team is thin, so early results are weighted cautiously against prior-season and roster data. - Market movement around injury news, as information to check rather than follow.
Our read. Uncertainty is high and concentrated in 1 unresolved item: Chicago's starting quarterback. We have no posted call. If the model identifies an edge after official inactives, we will post the selection and the line, with the model probability, market reference and edge stated exactly. If no edge clears our threshold, we will pass, and a pass is a valid outcome.
FCS
The feed lists 58 FCS games, including Montana State at Idaho, Wofford at Furman, Richmond at Lafayette, Howard at Hampton and The Citadel at South Carolina State. As with the college board, we could not confirm any of them for today. No FCS numbers will be generated against these listings, and no FCS calls are posted.
Bottom Line
1 confirmed game, 0 posted calls, and 1 major unknown. We are waiting on official Bears quarterback status and Eagles inactives before the model publishes anything. Any pick we post will settle on the public ledger alongside our full record, losses included.
21+ only. Predictions carry real risk of loss; set limits, and if play stops being fun, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
