Week 14 NFL Betting Picks and Strategy 12/10/20

Posted by on Dec 10, 2020 in NFL Betting, Sports Betting |

Week 14 NFL Betting Picks and Strategy 12/10/20 We are starting Week 14 off with some action on the Thursday night game between the Rams and the Patriots.   Los Angeles RamsOpponent NERams -4.5 The Patriots are coming off a massive, 45-0 stomping of the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13. And they have played better of late, winning four of their last five. But two of those wins were against a couple of the worst teams in the league, the Chargers and the Jets. They also somehow dropped one to the Texans. And of course, they still own a bottom-third defense. The Rams are an incredibly balanced team on the season. They rank 4th in offensive DVOA and 5th on defense. And the best part of their offensive game, running the ball, lines up well against the Patriots’ biggest deficiency: stopping the ground game. The Patriots rank 28th against the rush on the season. It stands to reason Sean McVay and company will grind down New England with the rush. All season, New England has tried to grind down teams with their own running game, trying to use Cam Newton’s legs while also leaning on guys like Damien Harris. And of late it’s worked having won four of their last five games. It hasn’t felt great (ever) betting against Bill Belichick, but let’s do it here. WIN   New Orleans SaintsOpponent PHISaints -7 The Saints head into Philadelphia this week with at least one more game of Taysom Hill under center. In the last three weeks, Hill has gone 3-0 though admittedly it wasn’t the toughest run of competition. They beat the Falcons twice and the Denver practice squad once. That being said, it doesn’t get much harder this week against the Eagles and Jalen Hurts’ first start. On the Hill side, there hasn’t been much of a drop-off in the offensive efficiency for the team and though the offense looks different, they’ve still managed to put up points relatively speaking. Meanwhile, the Eagles have struggled this season (understatement) and are now moving to a rookie quarterback in Jalen Hurts. Though Hurts did put tip yards through the air in his Week 13 debut, he was incredibly inefficient going 5-12. The Eagles likely reduce some of their sack issues, but it’s hard to imagine the offense taking a big leap here. New Orleans has the second-best defense in the league and should take advantage of Hurts’s inexperience.   Indianapolis Colts Opponent LVColts -3 Though the Colts and the Raiders are only separated in the standings by one game (Indy 8-5, LV 7-5) the seasons have been very different on paper. The Colts have outscored opponents by 55 points while...

Daily Fantasy NFL Early Look Games to Target for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 14

Posted by on Dec 8, 2020 in featured, Football Strategy |

Daily Fantasy NFL Early Look Games to Target for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 14 Welcome back football fans. To start Week 14, I will be taking a look at a couple of games that stand out. This comes early in the week so make sure to check out all of our content as the week rolls on leading up to lineup lock on Sunday. Let's get started.

Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars Game Line --- TEN -7.5 Game Total --- 53 This game doesn't have the highest total of the week but could very well end up with the most points. The first thing that stands out is the defense rank 29th(TEN) and 31st(JAX) in DVOA defense and both rank 25th or worse in fantasy points per game to EVERY positon. At least early on, this makes this matchup easily my top game to stack in GPP formats and you should probably consider multiple pieces for cash games, as well. Here are a few of my top plays: Cash Games Derrick Henry FD 10000 DK 9200 Opponent JAC Proj Points FD - 21.71 DK - 22.67 King Henry is coming off his worst game of the season totaling just 69 yards against the Browns but is easily the top play in this game. The Titans are big favorites and Henry averages over 23 touches per game and has rushed for 100+ in seven of his 12 games. While that gives him an elite floor he also provides elite upside as he has averaged 142.8 rushing yards and 27.5 DraftKings points per game in those seven games. He is also $600 and $700 cheaper than Cook on DraftKings and FandDuel this week so roll him out in all formats. James Robinson FD 7800 DK 7300 Opponent TEN Proj Points FD - 17.4 DK - 19.51 Despite playing on a terrible 1-11 Jaguars team, James Robinson has been extremely productive and placed himself in the Rookie of the Year conversation. He is averaging 21.2 touches(4th most among qualified) and 106.5 yards(5th most) per game and is literally in a terrible game script each and every week. He has broken 100 yards rushing four times this year including against these Titans back in Week 2. The price is much higher this time around but the matchup remains strong as the Titans have given up 100+ yards rushing and 350+ yards total in three of their last four games. GPP Stack Ryan Tannehill FD 7800...

Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Leverage Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 13

Posted by on Dec 5, 2020 in featured, Football Strategy |

Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Leverage Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 13 The 2020 NFL season is now in full swing and the DFSR team has covered in every area. Earlier in the week, we covered Cash Game Plays, our Top Bets, and looked at Injury Report. Now let's take a look at a few possible low owned GPP plays based on some of the industry buzz and ownership projections. Keep in mind, these are not safe plays and are generally very boom or bust. Roster accordingly. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NFL and MLB optimizers and our new player lab! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterback The Chalk - Mitchell Trubisky, Ryan Fitzpatrick The Pivot Philip Rivers FD 7000 DK 5900 Opponent HOU Proj Points FD - 17.19 DK - 18.24 First of all, seeing Mitchell Trubisky being possibly one of the highest owned quarterbacks on this slate makes me want to vomit. That immediately makes me want to pivot in GPP formats and one of those will be Philip Rivers who should not only be low-owned but also provides that salary relief allowing you to load up elsewhere. you never have to worry about volume with Rivers as he comes in averaging 40 pass attempts over his last four games and is on a bit of a heater with five touchdown passes in his last two games. There is no one pass-catcher that is my favorite to stack with Rivers as the target share is fairly spread out between Pittman Jr, Hines, Hilton, and Pascal. Of those, Pittman's target share has been trending the most as he is averaging 6.8 targets per game over the last four weeks. The other part of this leverage play that makes sense is the matchup as the Texans have been much worse against the running back. After missing a week due to COVID, this should enhance the ownership for Jonathan Taylor who is coming off one of his best games but he has been anything but consistent this season. I love pivoting to the pass game and the Texans have allowed the 10th most passing yards and 13th most fantasy points to the QB position. Running Back The Chalk - Nick Chubb, James Robinson, Austin Ekeler The Pivot Aaron Jones FD 8400 DK 7200 Opponent PHI Proj Points FD - 16.24 DK - 17.92 Along with the chalk(high-owned) running backs listed above, you can also include Dalvin Cook and Derrick Henry who are likely the two highest owned running backs despite their sky-high price tags. Even with a falling price, Aaron Jones...

Week 13 NFL Betting Picks and Strategy

Week 13 NFL Betting Picks and Strategy 12/1/20 Enjoy gambling online? Check out Jackpot City Online Casino! They offer a wide range of online and mobile casino slots available to play, from jackpot slots to exciting video slots. They also offer more than 400+ online casino games! Head on over and check out what they have to offer.   Tennessee Titans Opponent CLETitans -6 This line started at -4.5 (which we got in early on) and then climbed to -6 in the span of about 36 hours. It isn’t enough. The way things are trending, you’ll likely be able to get it at -5.5 when you read this. That works too obviously. The thing here is the Browns are the biggest smoke and mirrors team in the NFL. They are 8-3 with a negative point differential. Read that again: They are 8-3 and have been outscored by 21 points this season. The reason for this is they have played the second-easiest schedule in the league. They have one win against a team with a record of better than .500 (the Colts). When they’ve played actual *good* teams, like the Ravens and Steelers, they’ve been smoked. They rank 19th in defense, non-schedule adjusted which is a travesty considering their offensive opponents have ranked their D as the second-easiest schedule. Should I keep going here? Sure, Tennessee’s defense is no great shakes, but the offense ranks 3rd overall. The Browns are average or below on both sides of the ball. Absolutely love the Titans here not giving enough because the opponent has a mirage of a record.   San Francisco 49ers Opponent BUF49ers +2.5 The 49ers have played most of the season without their original starting quarterback and have had basically every running back get hurt at some point. They’ve had injuries on the defensive end as well with guys like Richard Sherman just coming off the IR last week. And yet, in spite of bad runs all around on the injury front and a 5-6 record on the season, they still have a positive (+7) point differential. That’s because the coaching is among (or just is) the best in the league. This week is a little weird with the 49ers having to move out of California and into Arizona because of COVID-related regulations. After three-straight tough games against the Seahawks, Packers, and Saints they pulled out a win over the Rams in Week 12. San Fran has the 9th-ranked defensive DVOA on the season and have held opponents to 20 or fewer points in eight of their 11 games this season. Meanwhile, the Bills has merely a +17 point differential despite playing the 19th most difficult schedule (SF is 6th...

Daily Fantasy NFL GPP Leverage Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 12

START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Running Back The Chalk - Wayne Gallman, Salvon Ahmed The Pivot  Nyheim Hines FD 5700 DK 4600 Opponent TEN Proj Points FD - 9.04 DK - 10.73 I will start off with a perfect example of recency bias and how we can attack it in GPP formats. At his highest ownership of the season last week(12-13% in GPP), Hines let everyone down with just 33 total yards and eight fantasy points. He is now in the same price range as projected chalk value running backs Wayne Gallman and Salvon Ahmed which should easily have his ownership back down in the 5% range and if that's the case, I definitely want a piece of the action. He went off two weeks ago against these very Titans and at these prices has hit 4x or greater value on DraftKings three times. It is a crowded backfield but the low ownership also means we don't need a ton of exposure to get leverage on the field.   Wide Receiver The Chalk - Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen, Stefon Diggs, Justin Jefferson The Pivot Calvin Ridley FD 8100 DK 7100 Opponent LV Proj Points FD - 15.33 DK - 18.39 The wide receiver position provides us an excellent opportunity for leverage in top tier as Calvin Ridley sits right in the middle of multiple chalk plays in terms of pricing. He made his return last week against a very good Saints defense adn caught five of nine targets for 90 yards. He and teh Falcons now get a home matchup vs. the Raiders in a game with the second-highest total(55) on the slate. As for the matchup, the Raiders have allowed the 12th most receiving yards and 15th most fantasy points to the wide receiver position. Since the game when the Raiders completely shut down the Browns, things have gotten worse as they have given up the following to the opponents top pass catchers over the last three weeks:...
