College Football DFS Showdown Breakdown: National Championship
Andy Smith (a25smith) is here to walk you through the upcoming Showdown slate. He will break down his favorite DFS picks at each position and will also lay out his strategy for how he is attacking the slate overall.
After years of seeing at least one of Alabama or Georgia in the National Championship, we get two fresh faces in Michigan and Washington. Vegas is expecting a close contest with Michigan favored by 4.5 points and a 56.5 total. I’ve included a similar format to years past with team stats, snaps, targets, miscellaneous notes and then a slate breakdown. If you don’t care about all the stats, etc. and are just relying on the projections and slate breakdown, then skip down to the last section. Alternatively, if you’re like my wife and think “this guy’s an idiot,” and just want the relevant stats to provide context to the projections then skip the slate breakdown section. As always be sure to hop into the Discord prior to kickoff to discuss the slate and sweat the game.
