NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday Night Football

What is your favorite gamescript build and why?

squirrelpatrol: We end the calendar year with a divisional matchup in Minnesota that I think should see some offense on both sides, but I see Minnesota pulling out a close game. I’ll aim to be over the field on their relatively unknown QB Jaren Hall and their pass catchers.

headChopper: I tried playing around with onslaught lineups for both teams, but I don’t like the look of them. I have a hard time seeing either team running away with this game. For that reason, I prefer the game script where we have a competitive game throughout. I will have mostly balanced builds (in terms of players from each team) for this slate.

kmurray03: I think that Green Bay gets out to an early lead and that the Vikings are going to have to play catch up, at least for the first half of the game. I think that Green Bay is overall a stronger team, but Justin Jefferson is so explosive that he can neutralize his team being the inferior of the two. In the end, this game will finish within one possession.

Bobby Gomes: I expect both of these teams to keep the game close, as they’re both fighting for playoff position. I’ll focus on Jaren Hall, Justin Jefferson, and the Vikings passing offense, while mixing-and-matching different Packers receivers and RBs.

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?
