What is your favorite game-script build and why?
Notorious: My favorite game script is a high-scoring and competitive game throughout. I want no part of the defenses. With so much on the line for both teams, they will both go all out in this one. We could have a real shootout on our hands.
headChopper: I’m sure many will share a similar game script, but I see plenty of points coming from two elite offenses in a dome. Detroit boasts the best offense in the NFL, especially at home, while Minnesota has the league’s top wide receiver and plenty of weapons to exploit Detroit’s defense. Expect a barrage of touchdowns and minimal defensive stops.
ncorfield8k: This is going to be a fun offensive show. Both offenses are elite. The Vikings have a strong defense, but nobody has figured out how to stop the Lions offense. And the Lions defense is decimated by injuries. This dome game should go off.
Davis Mattek: The highest over/under of the season goes OVER the total. Both QBs throw for for 300+ yards, and Jahmyr Gibbs sees 25+ touches.
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.
