Jan. 3 RAIDERS at CARDINALS 2:05 p.m. (CBS)
Remember Fernando-mania? OK, most won’t, when Fernando Valenzuela went 8-0 with a sub-2.00 ERA in his first eight starts for the Dodgers back in 1981. Will there be a new Fernando-mania? I mean, we aren’t even sure if it will be Fernando Mendoza, the NFL’s top draft pick, behind center as Vegas comes to town or if it will be Kirk Cousins. You like that? Probably not. Mendoza would make for a more interesting game. And of course, we all want to measure who has the better game. Mendoza v No. 3 pick Jeremiyah Love? No, no, no. I’m talking tight end battle: Trey McBride v Brock Bowers.
