College Football DFS Picks: DraftKings Expert Survey for Week 1 (Thursday Slate)
Which useful trend or statistic stuck out most during your research?
headChopper: Braylon Braxton finished last season with back-to-back 300+ yard passing games. He also scored 4 rushing touchdowns over the last five games (when he finally took over the starting QB job for good).
darddog: How awful Kent State is going to be this year? They lost their HC to Colorado and return 0 starters on offense and 4 on defense. UCF should dominate them, and I think this one is over by halftime. I would be surprised if Kent State scores more than a TD on offense.
STLCardinals84: With the new clock changes in college football this season, teams that play with tempo are going to be even more valuable for DFS. NC State is a team that should play a lot faster with a coaching change this season, and transfer quarterback Brennan Armstrong will be working with one of his former coaches. This team has the potential to be an offensive juggernaut in 2023, and I like loading up with exposure to them before the masses catch on.
kmurray03: Tulsa played at one of the fastest tempos in all of college football last season, ranking 16th in FBS. They come with a few underpriced pieces this week.
