We make picks for all 16 NFL games with levels of confidence ahead of Week 4.

After the game, Thomas shared some lengthy comments accusing Fever fans – which clearly just means Caitlin Clark fans – of engaging in racism.
She said the following:
“Honestly, it’s been a lot of nonsense. I think in my 11-year career, I’ve never experienced the racial comments from the Indiana Fever fan base.
