NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Monday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: The Jaguars should be able to control this game early, with the Bengals carrying an implied team total of just 15 points. The Bengals have allowed the 2nd-most points to TEs in the NFL, so I see some early passing work to Evan Engram followed by a ground game led by Travis Etienne.
headChopper: In the macro view of how this game could play out, I think it is more likely to be a slow-paced, low-scoring game than a shootout. My rosters will reflect that. Jacksonville has plenty of lapses on offense, especially when not pushed by the opposing offense, and the Bengals will have a tough time without Joe Burrow.
kmurray03: I can’t say it’s 100% my favorite because it’ll lead to a boring game, but the build I will be utilizing the most will be centered around a low-scoring affair. I have a ton of doubts in this Cincy offense tonight with Jake Browning and don’t see them being overly productive at finding the end zone.
Bobby Gomes: The Jaguars are 10-point favorites at home and should really be able to do whatever they want on offense, both in the passing game and on the ground. The Bengals defense has given up as many big plays as any defense in the NFL this season. I will have heavy exposure to the Jaguars offense and Bengals run-backs in the passing game (Ja’Marr Chase+ Tee Higgins), anticipating them having to play catch-up to Trevor Lawrence.
