TwoGun’s GPP Core NFL DFS Picks for the Divisional Round
This is the final NFL DFS slate of the season that isn’t a super short slate or a showdown. With just four games, I tend to like to choose a few specific players to get a lot of leverage on versus the field or a chalky player or two to completely (or close to it) […]

College basketball DFS picks and strategy for Friday (1/19)
The college basketball DFS slates have been high scoring lately, as pricing has been much softer than it was for the first two months. While we prefer lower scoring slates for edge purposes, results have been great for the community as a whole and I’m seeing a ton of green screens each day which is […]

5 Under 20%: The Best Overlooked DFS Plays of the Divisional Round
The path to winning DFS tournaments is typically aided by diamonds in the rough. These are the players often overlooked and considered to be contrarian, garnering single-digit ownership. Building chalky lineups filled with the most popular players can work in cash games, but they are usually sub-optimal when trying to take down small or large […]

Best DFS Stacks in the Divisional Round According to DVOA
I absolutely love the first few NFL playoff rounds for DFS. I predominantly will play the “main” slates that consist of all the games, since I find that slate size to be ideal. It’s just small enough that we’ll get a handful of bad chalk options to leverage, yet large enough to also have some […]
