Pittsburg vs. Baltimore has been removed from the Thursday slate, leaving us with Houston vs. Detroit, and Washington vs. Dallas. From a DFS perspective, I really like getting as much exposure to the Houston and Detroit game as possible, in what I expect to be a shootout between two bottom-tier defenses. DraftKings Best Plays: Deshaun Watson, $7,400 — the most expensive quarterback on the slate, but I don’t mind paying
This is a great Monday night matchup, with two premier top-10 defenses, and offenses that can be boom-or-bust. The Buccaneers have struggled in primetime this season, losing to the Chicago Bears, and suffering a demoralizing loss to the Saints. The Rams are 17th in points per game but have the 2nd rated defense on a point per game basis. I expect this to be a defensive battle with plenty of
The last time these two teams met, there were 71 total points scored in a wild back-and-forth game that went to overtime. Based on the weather and slight defensive improvements, I’m not expecting this game to reach the 70 point mark, or 60 point mark for that matter. It feels like a contrarian play, but I lean the under, which currently sits at 56.5 points. I expect this game to
Unfortunately, a lot of the top options carry a Questionable injury designation, so watch the practice reports and updates prior to kickoff. Both teams have an arsenal of offensive weapons, so there’s plenty of viable options. One of the top stacks is pairing Russel Wilson ($11,800) with top passing option DK Metcalf ($10,200). Tyler Lockett is questionable, which should give Metcalf some extra looks against a vulnerable Cardinals defense. If
The line opened with the Bears as -2 favorites and currently sits at Bears +3.5 underdogs at home. I initially leaned towards the Vikings, but I feel like this line is off due to recency bias. The Vikings are on a 3-game win streak after finding their new identity, which is to run Dalvin Cook until the wheels fall off. Meanwhile, the Bears have lost 3-games straight, as their offense
From the Sunday afternoon slate, I like the over at 50.5 in the Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders games in what should be a points bonanza between two struggling defenses. I also like teasing this game with New Orleans at -2, as they play the injury-ridden San Fransico 49ers. Teaser: DEN vs. LV Over 50.5, teased down to 43.5 and NO -9, teased down to -2, against SF.
Houston Texans vs. Cleaveland Browns: Over/Under 46 – Under 46. With the inclement weather in Cleaveland, I really like the under at 46 in a game that expects rain, strong gusts of winds, and colder temperatures Teasers There are several games that I think are ideal candidates for teasers. With a -6.5 or -7 two-team teaser, I like any combination of the following games: Green Bay Packers -13.5 –> -6.5
A quick recap of Monday night saw us fading the spread, but missing on the 42.5 under in the Patriots and Jets game. More importantly, if you took the player props, including the Cam Newton first touchdown scorer and anytime touchdown scorer and Pats to win odds boost, you’re up several units. Onto the Thursday night showdown between the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts. The line opened at the Titans
Hopefully you were fortunate to jump on the opening line at New England -7. The spread saw a 2.5-3 point jump after the announcement that starting quarterback Sam Darnold was doubtful. With Joe Flacco starting, the line shifted as high as 10 points, and currently sits at New England -9.5 on DraftKings and FanDuel at the time of this writing. A 9.5 spread is obviously more desirable than 10 points,
