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 the Sam Darnold-less (and winless) New York Jets take on the underwhelming New England Patriots. On the bright side, we could very well see a more competitive game than we did on Sunday.
My focus for this game in particular 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 simple. You pick two, three, or four players and predict whether or not they will go over or under their projected fantasy point total.
When parlaying the players, the larger your parlay, the better the payout:
-
Two-pick entry pays 2.5x (max entry: $400)
-
Three-pick entry pays 5x (max entry: $200)
-
Four-pick entry pays 10x (max entry: $100)
As a bonus offer, there is a “flex play” option if you choose to run a 4-man parlay. This will provide some security, as you can earn 1.5x your buy-in if three of your four picks hit.
The game kicks off at 8:20 PM ET. My top PrizePicks are below.
