NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: I think this will be the highest-scoring game of the playoffs so far with the added narrative of Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff facing their former teams. I see Detroit pulling out a close game in the end, but there should be plenty of scoring to go around.
Notorious: I have a hard time seeing one team run away from the other in this game. Even if a team is able to build a sizable lead, we should see some immediate pushback from the opposing offense. For that reason, I’m not looking to build onslaught lineups, and I’m not looking to play either of the defenses.
TastefulTides: This game has huge shootout potential. Both teams have tremendous skill players on their respective offenses. This game will also be played in a dome. I think this game is going to go very pass-heavy on both sides. That doesn’t mean the RBs won’t have their chances to pick up fantasy points. I would avoid both kickers and aim for a massive ceiling with your value plays.
TJ Zwarych: I think this one will shoot out, as both of these offenses have been significantly better than their defenses all season long. The Rams passing game against the Lions pass funnel should allow them to cruise through the air, while I want to mix and match the Lions RBs and cheap pass catchers with Amon-Ra St. Brown in as many lineups as possible.
