Main Slate Rundown 🏈

Another loaded CFB Saturday is on deck! As usual, this newsletter zeroes in on the DraftKings main slate, which features 12 games and kicks off at noon ET. FanDuel’s 14-game main slate mixes in a few evening contests, but with 10 games overlapping, most of the analysis here will apply across both platforms (just be mindful of salary differences). Let’s dive in and uncover the best angles for building a sharp Week 9 approach. Best of luck this weekend!

To begin, let’s get a look at the 15 teams with a 26.0+ implied point total on this slate. These teams are generally in the best spot for offensive success this Saturday, so the majority of our preferred DFS plays will be found on these rosters:

Next up, we’ll mostly want limited-to-no exposure to teams that are expected to struggle to score 20+ points. These teams generally either find themselves completely out-matched versus their upcoming opponent, they don’t possess a capable offense, their matchup is expected to be a slow and low-scoring affair, or it’s some combination of those factors. Unless a specific player is priced down, has near-matchup-proof talent, and is guaranteed high volume, we should lean toward avoiding these five teams on the slate:

Obligatory: Vegas spreads and totals aren’t the be-all, end-all but they do give us a solid amount of information to use as our research ‘jump-off point’ on any given slate.
