TwoGun’s GPP Core NFL DFS Picks for Wild Card Weekend
When the NFL went to six games for the Wild Card Round, I was initially ecstatic, since I thought the main DFS slate would be all six games. I was then frustrated that they essentially do two small slates and then a showdown.  For whatever reason, this year I seem to excel at the small […]

College Basketball DFS Picks and Strategy for Thursday (1/11)
It was another high-scoring slate due to soft pricing, along with the fact chalk Sean Pedulla broke the slate with a million points. Tonight is a bit more reasonable and points should be tougher to come by. The seven-game slate has some intriguing spots and plenty of news to track as usual. Michigan’s Dug McDaniels […]

PGA DFS Hot Takes for the 2024 Sony Open
It takes a special kind of crazy to be good at PGA DFS. It is perhaps the most volatile of all the major sports, there’s little correlation to take advantage of and we only get six roster spots for each lineup. Consequently, to gain an edge over our competition we have to be bold – […]

NBA DFS Strategy and Picks for Wednesday (1/10)
For an eight-game NBA DFS slate, Wednesday could wind up being a chalky one, because we have a lot of players up in the air.
