2020 has been a year where it’s become more and more important to find the silver lining in things and on Monday, we’re presented with that opportunity again. In the midst of another COVID-19 mess in the NFL, we’ve been gifted a double-header on Monday instead of the traditional Monday night football game. Who’s going […]

Week 13 of the NFL season is upon us, and that means that this is likely the last regular-season week in your season-long fantasy football leagues. If you’re already out of playoff contention, motivation to watch could be lower than usual. Why would you care to watch Kirk Cousins go head to head with Mike […]

The list of “firsts” for this NFL season continues to grow, as we have Wednesday night football on tap in a divisional game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers. Not only has COVID-19 caused this game to be rescheduled three total times, but it’s also taken its toll on the depth chart of both […]

What a wacky Week 12. We had a wide receiver playing emergency quarterback for the Denver Broncos, a monstrous 250+ yard, three-score game from Tyreek Hill and a heap of questionable play-calling on the final drive for the Los Angeles Chargers.  *insert tacky infomercial voice here* But wait, there’s more! We have a Monday night […]

Thanksgiving is officially behind us and while we continue to stuff our faces with the leftovers, it’s important to keep one hand free to take advantage of the early over/unders on PrizePicks for the Sunday slate of Week 12 games. Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected […]

   

After a red-hot weekend in the world of PrizePicks over at FTN Daily, we have another appealing single-game slate between two playoff-hopefuls in the Los Angeles Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production. The format […]

In what should be the most exciting Thursday night game arguably of the season, the Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks square off in a game with a 57-point over/under and a tight 3-point spread (per DraftKings SportsBook). My focus, as always, will be on PrizePicks. Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to […]

Monday Night Football continues on with the Chicago Bears, who may potentially be without star receiver Allen Robinson, taking on the Minnesota Vikings. My focus for this game, as always, will be on PrizePicks. Speaking of “PrizePicks,” it is a creative new way to parlay picks based on expected fantasy point production. The format is […]

While it hasn’t been a focus as much this week with the Masters happening simultaneously, we still have a Thursday NFL on tap for Week 10 and a game between the Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans that Vegas predicts to be incredibly close (1-point spread, per DraftKings Sportsbook). My focus for this game, as always, […]

Sunday Night Football was primed to be a back-and-forth affair between two future Hall-of-Famers in Drew Brees and Tom Brady, until the Saints controlled the game in literally every facet en route to a 38-3 victory, leaving many fantasy players with a lot to be desired. Luckily for us, we get a barn-burner tonight as […]

After a clash in the NFC Championship game 10 months ago, the Green Bay Packers have had this week’s Thursday football game against the San Francisco 49ers circled on their calendar for quite some time. This game, however, will look incredibly different. Between COVID-19 and injuries, this game will be without Jamaal Williams, AJ Dillon, […]

If you’re just desperately craving some more NFC East football after the Sunday Night thriller (extreme sarcasm…) between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, you’re in luck. We get one more NFC East team to watch on Monday night, as the Giants take on the stout Tampa Bay defense in a game where they’re bigger […]

Fortunately, or unfortunately, we are starting to wind down to a slow season in the sports world, especially during the week. With NBA, WNBA and NHL all officially in their offseasons, we’re hanging out hats on playoff baseball — more specifically, the World Series between the Tampa Bay  Rays and Los Angeles Dodgers — to […]

After arguably the most entertaining football game of the season on Sunday night, Monday night presents us with an interesting game that could potentially struggle to provide heaps of fantasy value, as the Bears head to Los Angeles to square off with Jared Goff and the Rams.  My focus for the Monday night game will […]

Fortunately or unfortunately, we are starting to wind down to a slow season in the sports world, especially during the week. With NBA, WNBA and NHL all officially in their offseasons, we’re hanging out hats on playoff baseball — more specifically, the World Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Los Angeles Dodgers — to […]

While we aren’t lucky enough to have Tuesday night football in Week 6, we are lucky enough to have another Monday night double-header this week, kicking off with the Chiefs and Bills at 5 p.m. ET, followed by the Cowboys and Cardinals at 8:15 p.m. ET. Both games are included on the PrizePicks slate, giving us more […]

Thanks to a schedule shuffle in the NFL due to positive COVID-19 tests, we’re graced with Tuesday football this week on top of Tuesday’s playoff baseball action. Similar to the PrizePicks article from Monday, I will provide my favorite options for the Bills vs. Titans game, both for the whole game and the first half, […]

After a Week 4 where we were blessed with a pair of Monday night games, we’re back to the normal schedule and have one game to focus on for Week 5’s Monday, as the New Orleans Saints host the Los Angeles Chargers. The game carries a 50.5-point implied total with the Saints favored by a […]

We live to see another day of NBA DFS, as Jimmy Butler played 47 minutes en route to a Heat win and a massive win for the NBA DFS community Friday. Not much has changed in terms of the injury report, as Goran Dragic is once again doubtful for Sunday’s game. The Heat come in […]

In what could very well be the last NBA DFS slate of the 2019-20 season, Friday’s showdown slate presents us with the first elimination game of the NBA Finals. The Heat are slated to have Bam Adebayo back in the lineup for the second consecutive game, while Goran Dragic remains doubtful. This was a big […]

Unlike the last few weeks, we are starting to reach a relatively quiet time around the sports world, especially during the week. The NBA Finals are in full swing, but that also means that we only have basketball two or three times per week. On top of that, the Stanley Cup Finals have concluded and […]

After a wild Week 4 around the NFL that included a handful of schedule changes due to COVID-19, we’re graced with not one, but two Monday night games, as the Patriots/Chiefs game will act as the opener for the regularly scheduled Packers/Falcons game. This gives us double the number of options on the PrizePicks slate, […]

Friday presents us with Game 2 of the NBA Finals and yet another NBA DFS Showdown slate. But unlike Game 1, there is going to be a heap of obvious value on the slate due to injuries. After a Game 1 shellacking, both Goran Dragic and Bam Adebayo came away with injuries that have left […]

Unlike the last few weeks, we are starting to reach a relatively quiet time around the sports world, especially during the week. With the NBA finals kicking off Wednesday, the NHL Stanley Cup wrapping up Monday and no NFL in the middle of the week, the only major sport taking place Tuesday is playoff baseball […]

Another NFL Sunday has come and gone, and we are one Monday night game away from being three full weeks through the 2020 NFL season. Sunday provided us with offensive fireworks, but it’s hard to imagine any game topping Monday’s, as we have a potential AFC Championship preview between the Chiefs and the Ravens. The […]

After putting the Nuggets away in Game 5 Saturday night, the Los Angeles Lakers now await the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals to see who they’ll meet in the NBA Finals. The Miami Heat have the chance to be that team and put the Boston Celtics away Sunday, but the Celtics have proven they […]

Correct me if you’ve heard this before, but the Denver Nuggets enter Saturday night’s game on the brink of elimination, down 3-1 to the Los Angeles Lakers. We’ve seen it twice already this season — the Nuggets are no stranger to this situation — so expecting a wire-to-wire game and heaps of fantasy production for […]
