Hello, and happy Sunday. I was watching some college football yesterday and decided that football could use fewer run plays. In fact, football would be a much better viewing experience if there were no run plays at all. There’s nothing worse than the anticipation of a play being immediately ruined by the quarterback handing the ball to the running back, and watching him plunge helplessly into the line of scrimmage for no gain. It happens far too often. At this point, the only point of calling a run play is to try and make the defense believe (falsely) that you can do it successfully, just so you can later find some success through the air. Nobody likes this. Sorry, running backs, you’re just backs once I r̶u̶n̶ vie for Czar of American Football.
Pass plays? Much more exciting. The possibilities are endless!
Anyway, this is a basketball article, so I suppose we should get to the basketball.
Slate Overview
In news that should surprise no one, DraftKings and FanDuel have different main slates tonight. FanDuel is starting their main NBA slate at 6 PM ET with the Lakers-Pistons game, while DK’s starts an hour later and omits that 2004 NBA Finals rematch. There is also major news to follow for that game, as Luka Doncic is questionable with a back injury, presumably sore from carrying the Lakers to an 8-2 start all by himself.
The contests look surprisingly decent in the NBA streets even on an NFL Sunday, so there’s money to be made. As always, I’ll be here for news and table updates leading up to lock.
