NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: My favored game script is the shootout we’ve been waiting for, with both offenses clicking and points on both sides. I’ll lean towards Miami in this one – particularly their passing game with Tua and Tyreek Hill / Jaylen Waddle – and I think it could be a Super Bowl preview.
Notorious: My favorite game script is that the Eagles take the lead early and most of their production comes through Jalen Hurts. Perhaps he has one of his big rushing games and the “tush push” works for a couple of scores. If this happens, Hurts at MVP and Captain would be huge, and then we can surround him with a bunch of players from the Dolphins’ passing attack (and Jeff Wilson on DraftKings).
TastefulTides: Philly takes the lead early, which forces Miami to throw even more than they normally would. This launches the projections of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle a little higher than they already are. I do expect this game to stay close throughout, with both teams leaning on their pass game over the run.
TJ Zwarych: I think this one turns into a shootout, with the Eagles being a pass-funnel defense and Miami’s offense looking prolific so far. I plan to virtually ignore the kickers and defenses while attempting to get overweight on the skill players.
