There are 8 basketball games on an NFL Sunday? What are we doing here, NBA?
The good news is that FanDuel and DraftKings are offering the same slates. There is one early game that starts at 3:30 PM ET and then the 7-game main slate that starts at 6:00 PM ET. This will be my first rodeo with the Core Plays on a Sunday, so I will do my best to stay up-to-date with the injuries while sweating my NFL lineups.
As always, thanks for joining me. Let’s start breaking down the slate, shall we?

Team Previews
Portland Trail Blazers (at MIL): This is the early game that is not featured on the main slate. The Blazers are finally starting to get healthy and have been a pesky opponent this season. While they are 12.5-point underdogs in this game, a matchup against the Bucks is an exploitable one (5th in pace and 21st in defensive rating). This is an easy team to avoid on the all-day slate, but the Blazers are obviously viable for showdown. With Malcolm Brogdon on a minute restriction, the top targets here are Deandre Ayton and Jerami Grant. If you are looking for a punt on DraftKings, Duop Reath is only $2,200.
