Buffalo vs. Blinders Daily Fantasy Challenge Update
This week our ongoing coverage of Buffalo vs. Blinders Challenge continues as the challenge is already one-sixth complete. Number Three ranked Buffalo66 got off to a hot start, taking a five to one lead over Blinders. Blinders, representing Fantasy Sports Live, has narrowed the gap with two straight $25 MLB victories. Blinders was the first competitor to accept Buffalo’s challenge, creating a sort of Daily Fantasy Projections vs. [newly-updated] Fantasy Sports Live mini-battle. The stakes? $1,320 wagered over 48 matches and arguably, the title ‘Best All-Around Daily Fantasy Player’. With NFL Season just around the corner, we’re in store for some great action in the next few months. For ongoing coverage, you can follow the Challenge in our forums or hear Buffalo’s perspective on his blog.
