The penalties have been harsh for players caught breaking the N.F.L.’s gambling rules. That’s partly because the league wants no insinuation that games might be rigged.
The league suspended Isaiah Rodgers and Rashod Berry of the Indianapolis Colts and Demetrius Taylor, a free agent, for at least a full season. A fourth player received a six-game penalty for betting on other sports.
The Eagles face the Cowboys in a game that looks very different without Jalen Hurts. And some matchups, like the Giants at the Vikings, are just plain fun.
