Is 11-4-1 Good?

Week one is in the books and it’s time to look at our results.

The computer algorithm picks went 11-4-1 good for 73.33%. FIRE EMOJI!!!!!

My personal selections on individual games went 1-0-1 and my crazy teaser lost thanks to the Saints defense forgetting that the season started this week. I’ll be posting one weird parlay or teaser per week in hopes of making a few extra dollars. (Crazy Bet record 0-1)

Our survivor selection of the Saints went down in flames along with 30-50% of everyone else. Why wouldn’t Ryan Fitzpatrick light up one of the top defenses from last year? Fitzmagic was on full display and all of my survivor pool entries are now done.

In terms of DFS I had a nice day to start the season. My best finish in the Fan Duel Milly Maker was 274/457,385 which was good for $300. Eight of my ten lineups cashed in the Milly Maker and I made a profit, which is all that matters. My Fan Duel cash lineup was not that great though. Despite scoring 155.82, which is normally good, I was only able to cash in 34.48% of my contests. Playing David Johnson over Melvin Gordon and settling on Dalton over Keenum made a massive difference. (As you will see on Draft Kings) I’ll post my detailed results later in the week when they uploaded to Rotogrinders. The Rivers/Gordon/Allen/TyFreak stack ended up being my best lineup of the day on FD.

On Draft Kings I ended up cashing four out of my five lineups in the Milly Maker. My best finish was 3276/294,117, which was good for $100. That was also a Rivers/Gordon/Allen/TyFreak stack that did well even though the Chargers defense scored a solid -3.0. My Draft Kings cash lineup was very good.  After being unsure of Antonio Brown because of the weather I am glad I stayed with him. I scored a massive 234.26 and won 100% of my cash games!!

Besides being eliminated from all of the survivor pools I am in, it was a fantastic week one. After all any non-losing week is a good one.
