Week three is almost in the books, but this has already been a good weekend. The Admiral Akbar trap games of the week were Green Bay and Chicago. Neither team covered and the Packers lost outright. Core Clement was the DFS Akbar selection and he did as expected, not that much. Once news hit that the Bengals would have only two healthy RB’s moving to Gio made a lot of sense. Thankfully, I dumped some of my Murray shares on Draft Kings. Despite playing 100% Murray on Fan Duel I still cashed 4/5 lineups in the milly maker. My cash lineup failed to cash, thanks Will Dissly. No Major scores, but a profitable weekend on FD. I ended up cashing in 54.1% of my cash games on FD, despite someone picking up 20 of my head-to-heads and them scoring 148.06 and beating me easily.
Draft Kings was slightly more profitable even though only 2/3 of my lineups cashed in the milly maker. My best lineup scored just under 200 and if Julio was Ridley would have been in position for a fantastic day. I cashed 73% of my cash games on DK thanks to Matt Ryan going bonkers at his sub 6k price tag. What really helped my day was my under 1% owned Mike Williams blowing up and scoring two touchdowns. A profitable day on both sites is all anyone can hope for.
The computer algorithm had another good day and the season long record now sits at 27-19-1 (58.70%) with the Steelers tonight. Premium pays are 3-3 for 50% and Platinum plays are 2-4 for 33.33%.
My personal wagers are looking very strong at this point. Miami and NO came through and I am now 4-2-1 (66.66%) with the Steelers -1 tonight. Now the Steelers are +1 and I am going to wager on them again. Might as well double down!
My crazy teasers did not do well, thanks to the Patriots losing last night. They have moved to 0-5 (-520). Time to get back on the horse! Pittsburgh +8 and OVER 47.5 (-120 7 point Tease).
The Undertaker total of the day came through very easily as the Colts and Eagles struggled to score in the rain. The Dead Man is 1-0.
Monday-Thursday Slate
I don’t play a lot of short slate NFL, but there is an interesting situation set to happen this week. The Rams had both their corners get hurt on Sunday and now play Thursday against what was supposed to be a good Vikings team. The Vikings got crushed at home against Buffalo and it appears the Rams will destroy the Vikings. This is a fantastic game theory spot to play Cousins and the Vikings. In a two game slate if you can get a live low owned team you have to do it. The Vikings could in theory score tons of points and give you great leverage on the field. I’m stacking the Vikings.
