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

What is your favorite game-script build and why?

squirrelpatrol: The Chiefs offense should roll here at home against a Denver defense that has allowed the most yards per game in the NFL. The rushing defense has been particularly bad, allowing 187.6 rushing yards per game (33.6 yards per game more than the next-worst team), and I expect Isiah Pacheco to get plenty of work.

headChopper: I don’t think this is as big of a blowout as the general public thinks. I think the Broncos can move the ball on offense, and it’s going to have to be in the passing game. I don’t think the Broncos are going to contain the KC offense, and I think Isiah Pacheco is a key to their game plan.

kmurray03: Roth has the weather being quite ugly in this game, so while I think the Chiefs win, it might not be in an overly exciting fashion. I expect short passes and more rushing attempts to hurt the chances of a ton of points being put up here.

TJ Zwarych: The Broncos defense has been so horrifically bad this season that I can’t see them keeping pace with the Chiefs. Their run-funnel defense should be easily exposed by the Chiefs’ three-headed monster led by Isiah Pacheco, and the Chiefs are going to cruise to an easy victory.
