Who’s your money on in 2024 – Meghan Markle or Mark Zuckerberg? Or if your betting on future US presidential elections is more realistic, do you take Mike Pence of Kamala Harris? Because it’s evidently never too soon to take a wager, some sportsbooks have already established odds for the […]
Hendon Hooker, Chuba Hubbard Look to Have Big Days in College Football DFS
The continued offensive firepower of the Big 12, combined with a plethora of bad defense, means we can spread our college football DFS love all around this week. In fact, an ACC quarterback could be the slate breaker, and an SEC game may be the most stackable. These are the […]
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 […]
CJ Cup DFS Picks: From Rory McIlroy to Brian Harman
In the age of COVID-19, the CJ Cup, normally played at Nine Bridges in South Korea, will take place at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas this week. Justin Thomas won the event two of the past three years, a stat that might prove irrelevant given the change of venue. Shadow […]
DraftKings, FanDuel Try to Clean Up Mess After Live-Scoring Snafu Derails Weekend Payouts
DFS players at DraftKings and FanDuel are finally receiving payouts from the weekend contests after delays due to live scoring issues, but participants in some contests are still left waiting. DraftKings paid out all college football contests on Monday, and experienced no scoring issues in NFL games on Sunday, so […]
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 […]
NFL Week 5: Best DFS Value Plays Include Kyle Allen, Damien Harris
Week 5 of the NFL season looks to be one of the most dynamic of the season for value plays under $5,000 on DraftKings. We can roster a super-cheap quarterback, running backs capable of rushing for 100 yards, and a receiver who can go off on any given week. Here […]
Can You Win in DFS This Week Avoiding the Red River Shootout?
Week 6 of college football DFS provides us with the likely high-scoring affair between Texas and Oklahoma in the Red River Shootout, and an expected team total of 49 points for BYU against the University of Texas-San Antonio. You can expect the core components of those offenses to be highly […]
Shriners DFS Golf Picks: DeChambeau, Simpson Lead Field
The PGA Tour heads to the famed TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas for the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, a staple on the schedule for nearly 30 years. After a couple of dull weeks without many stars, eight of the top-20 golfers in the world will play here this week. […]
NFL: This Week’s Best, Cheap DFS Plays
If you want to play Lamar Jackson or Dalvin Cook this week, you’ll need to dig deeper into the salary pool in other roster spots to afford the high-priced guys. As always, I’m here to help with five cheap DFS plays under $5,000 on DraftKings. Let’s dig in. Myles Gaskin, […]
College Football DFS: Don’t Sleep on Memphis-SMU, Texas Tech-Kansas State
Week 5 of college football DFS offers up a 14-game slate on FanDuel (13 on DraftKings), but the smart play may be to ignore most of the games and listen to what Vegas has to say. Oddsmakers seem to think the Memphis-SMU and Texas Tech-Kansas State games will be close […]
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
How will President Trump and Joe Biden greet, who will hone in on China, and will they discuss Bernie Sanders? These are among the questions proposed by DraftKings in the DFS operator’s free-play contest for tonight’s presidential debate. The contest features a $50,000 prize pool, with $5,000 going to first […]
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 […]
DraftKings Stock Booms with Return of Football, Deal Announcements
With the return of the NFL and the announcement that the Big 10 will resume playing college football in October, DraftKings saw its stock soar in the past week. Although the price dipped some this week, trading at around $51 per share on Wednesday afternoon, DraftKings has been among the […]
5 DFS Picks for PGA Tour’s Trip to the Dominican Republic
After the treacherous conditions (par wise) for PGA Tour golfers at the US Open last week, participants head to paradise this week. The Puntacana Resort & Club Championship will take place this week at Corales Golf Club in the Dominican Republic. The course is long, a Par 72 playing at […]
