What is your favorite game-script build and why?
Notorious: I love building lineups with the idea that the Ravens are going to be playing with a significant lead. The best way to move the ball against Baltimore is through the air, and the Steelers are unlikely to have much success on the ground. I like building through Jaylen Warren and the pass catchers on the Steelers. On Baltimore’s side, everyone is viable.
headChopper: This isn’t just a divisional matchup. It is the third meeting between these teams this season, with coaches who have faced each other numerous times over the years. The familiarity here leads me to believe we’re in for a defensive struggle. In their last 8 meetings, these teams have exceeded 39 points just once, and that game featured a defensive touchdown. Touchdowns should be at a premium in this one.
ncorfield8k: I think the Ravens put the Steelers out of their misery in the 1st half. The Ravens defense has been elite in recent weeks. The offense has been elite all season. I’ll be playing it like it will be a 3-score game by the 3rd quarter.
Davis Mattek: The Baltimore Ravens are coming in as hot as any team (despite Zay Flowers being injured), and the Steelers are playing so badly that Mike Tomlin had to address the team in a private meeting. Baltimore will be playing downhill the entire time and score 30+ points yet again, while Najee Harris runs in jeans.
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?

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
