After last week when I almost didn’t write this column because the pickings were as limited as a Thanksgiving turkey carcass after everyone in our Familia had seconds, this week is different. There are players you need for both this week and to possibly help you in your playoff run.

Who else is still experiencing a food hangover? Thanksgiving was awesome, with 3 of my favorite Fs: Family, Food and Football. The Raiders-Cowboys salvaged what was otherwise a tough day of football. We’re going to keep an eye on the injuries for D’Andre Swift and Darren Waller. Salud to Tre’Davious White, the all-world corner for the Bills who tore his ACL in New Orleans. Wishing you a safe and steady recovery. Salud to you.

One of the great things about our big Familia coming to the U.S. in the 1950s is that we’ve had plenty of time to adopt some American traditions while continuing to honor our Mexican raza.

Beware the trap games. Last week the Bengals-Jets were that game. The Texans covered late against the Rams. This week Buffalo goes to Jacksonville and is a 14.5-point favorite. A trap game? Hmmm.

The marquees were supposed to be filled with battles that were a reminder of old heavyweight title fights. Mahomes vs. Rodgers. Henry vs. Donald. Even Steelers vs. Bears brings back memories of Mike Singletary, Jack Lambert, Dan Hampton and Mean Joe Greene. None of that is happening this Sunday.

Happy Halloween, Familia! How I used to love Halloween when I The first few days of this week felt like the NFL world was on fire. Derrick Henry out for the season. Jameis Winston, too. Aaron Rodgers and Saquon Barkley going on the COVID list (Barkley hopefully a false positive). Henry Ruggs’ heartbreaking situation – prayers up for the family of the young woman who lost her life. It just seemed like the news didn’t stop.
