Week 9 NFL Picks Against the Point Spread
Believe it or not, it began as expected. The tide slowly – and subtly – began to shift. As noted in last week’s introduction, the 2016 season has been incredibly odd, but not because of wild swings of action or random bouts of luck – although they have also been present – but for the […]
DFS Plays: NFL Week 8 DFS Game-by-Game Analysis
With six teams on bye weeks and an early-morning Sunday game in London, we have one of the lightest slates of the year in Week 8. Only eleven games – ten if you partake in DraftKing’s Millionaire Maker tournament – are featured in this week’s column. As was our belief in Week 7, there are […]
