Gross Bombs: NFL Props for Week 16
Josh Gross
We’ve reached one heck of a stretch in the PGA Tour season! Elevated event, major championship, elevated event? Sign me up! Let’s not get ahead of ourselves though, because The Memorial is one of the best weeks of the year with one of the best course fit models. Such a strong course fit model will make the GPP Scores even more powerful. Speaking of, their mission is simple — identify who is under-rostered (positive GPP Score) and who is over-rostered (negative GPP Score) by the field. From there, we simply play the under-rostered guys and fade the over-rostered guys.
Why does this work so well? Because PGA DFS is not like other DFS sports — the range of outcomes for most players is heavily skewed toward what we’d consider failure (like a missed cut) instead of what we’d consider a smashing success (like a top-five finish). Fading popular players who project well feels uncomfortable and unnecessarily risky at times, but as long as they’re more likely to fail than succeed, it’s typically the better choice. This is especially true because our ability to take down tournaments depends not only on our players doing well, but everyone else’s players doing poorly. In other words, we want to embrace the discomfort and leverage those in the industry who are trying to “play it safe” in a sport that offers no such thing.
Enter: Hot takes. Each hot take can be thought of as a potential path to GPP glory.
