College Football Main Slate Breakdown: Week 0
Mama, we made it. College Football is back.
Hello friends, my name is Micah Bedard, aka mbedard20 on DraftKings and darddog on FanDuel, and I’ll be taking over the CFB main slate breakdowns this season. When I started playing CFB DFS, this was the first piece of information I would consume so I hope this will help give you a game plan on how to attack each slate.
One note before we dig in, my breakdowns will include a lot of game theory. You have to embrace the variance in any DFS sport but especially CFB and game theory is a huge part of that. I’m primarily a GPP player and a lot of my slate commentary will be geared towards giving you the tools to take them down.
But enough chit-chat, I know you guys are here to get the plays for Week 0 so you can flip out on your mother-in-law when she tells you she doesn’t have ACC Network so you can’t tilt Duquesne/Florida State. DraftKings has a 6 game slate main slate on Saturday, with three of those games being FCS/FBS duels. DK has actually put together some nice structured GPPs so let’s make sure we fill those so we don’t get top-heavy 33% to first-place prize pools for the rest of the season. FanDuel has a 7 game slate which includes all the DK games but with a Charlotte/FAU nightcap.
I will give you a team-by-team breakdown using DK pricing but will note if I have a different view on a team/player based on FD pricing.
