Lindsey Graham Election Odds Tighten After Amy Coney Barrett Hearings

Longtime US Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican once considered a near-lock for re-election in 2020, has seen his odds shrink after flip-flopping on Supreme Court vacancies, heavy fundraising by his Democratic opponent, and polls that show him in a dead heat with Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison. Graham is […]

NFL Week 7 DFS Value Plays: Kyle Allen, Kenyan Drake Top List

Week 7 of the NFL means we’re nearly two months into the season, a delight in the age of COVID-19. I’m pulling from four positions for this week’s value plays, and going to the Cardinals well twice in what should be a high-scoring affair against Seattle. Kyle Allen, Washington QB […]

Zozo Championship DFS: Will Jon Rahm Be Overlooked?

The PGA Tour heads to Thousand Oaks, CA, this week for the Zozo Championship at Sherwood Country Club. The par-72 course will play at a shade over 7,000 yards for the tournament. Another no-cut event, this one features 78 players. Tiger Woods famously won last year with a score of […]

Live Scoring Issues Tarnish Weekend’s DFS Football Games

The weekend of football proved hair-pullingly frustrating for DFS users who couldn’t follow live scoring for their contests, and who are still waiting for payouts on Monday – up to two days after some contests ended. Neither DraftKings nor FanDuel offered live scoring for college football contests on Saturday. DraftKings […]

Sam Burns Leads DFS Picks for Sanderson Farms Championship

The PGA Tour heads to the farm this week. Specifically, the Sanderson Farms Championship at the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi. The par 72 course will play at 7,421 yards and only a handful of the world’s best players will attend so, like last week, we’ll see inflated DFS […]

DraftKings Offers Free Contest Picking Presidential Debate Moments

Saturday Night DFS: Stack Bama or Miami

The Saturday night DFS slate is small, but mighty. Miami-Florida State and Alabama-Missouri should offer plenty of high-scoring DFS totals, but other games offer players with sneaky good values for low salaries. Consider these six players for your rosters this week. Quarterbacks  D’Eriq King, Miami ($8,700 on DraftKings, $10,200 on […]

This Week’s DFS Value Plays (NFL): Josh Kelley, Curtis Samuel

We can roster the Jets’ QB Sam Darnold for $5,000 on DraftKings this week, but I’ll say no thanks to that. Instead – like we did last week – we’ll focus on running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends for our under $5K DFS value plays. Josh Kelley, Chargers RB […]

College Football DFS: SEC Returns, but Look to Texas and Oklahoma

The SEC returns to play this Saturday, but for DFS purposes on the day slate, I’ll mostly focus on the Big 12. Oddsmakers predict big scores from teams like Oklahoma and Texas, so we want to draft several players from these squads. Quarterbacks Sam Ehlinger, Texas ($8,900 on DK, $10,800 […]
