What is your favorite game-script build and why?
Notorious: While I would love to see this be close since this is a rare Friday afternoon game, I am building lineups with the idea that the Chiefs are going to build a big lead early. I love Chiefs onslaughts that include the kicker and their defense and then spending up on a bring-back (Brock Bowers in most cases).
ncorfield8k: I think the Chiefs win this game easily but don’t run up the score. They’ll stick to the running game with their new two-headed attack and grind it out. The Raiders will throw a lot to try to keep up, but they’ll have a tough time against the Chiefs’ elite defense.
headChopper: I know the Chiefs have been playing close games with everyone, and with this being a divisional matchup, I think the Chiefs win, but the Raiders keep it very competitive. The only way the Raiders can do that is by playing solid defense, as they won’t outscore the Chiefs in a shootout. Strong defensive efforts from both teams should lead to a tight, low-scoring game.
What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?
