NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday Night Football
What is your favorite game-script build and why?
squirrelpatrol: I think the Colts can pull the win out, and I expect them to do it with the passing game. The Houston pass defense allows the 6th-most receiving yards per game and the 9th-most yards per reception, and I can see a big game from Gardner Minshew and Michael Pittman in this spot.
headChopper: Plenty of good offense coming from all directions. Passing game and running games could both click for both teams. I think we get 3+ touchdowns from each team, and they come from a variety of players. I like this game script because both teams have solid offenses with weapons in multiple positions. The Texans’ defense is solid but not without flaws, and the Colts defense is very middling.
kmurray03: I like the Texans to win in a close game. And even though I think it’ll be close, I prefer builds that are heavier on the Texans offense, as I think they have a bit more luck offensively.
Bobby Gomes: My favorite game script is a nearly balanced build, as the game total sits at 46.5 and the Texans are slight road favorites (-1.5). It is setting up like a playoff game between divisional opponents who were bottom-feeders last season. C.J. Stroud lit up the Colts in Week 2, throwing for 384 yards and 2 touchdowns in defeat. Both offensive lines have kept their respective QBs upright recently, and both offenses should continue to sling it in Week 18.
