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

What is your favorite game-script build and why?

squirrelpatrol: The Steelers win a low-scoring game behind their passing game with Kenny Pickett, George Pickens, and Diontae Johnson. The Titans have generally been a defense that teams attack through the air, and they have allowed the 5th-most yards per reception in the NFL this season.

headChopper: A low-scoring, slow-paced, sluggish battle. I think it will be hard for the offense to consistently move the ball, but there will be big plays, which swing the slate.

kmurray03: This one will be ugly. Both teams have struggled offenseively, and although Will Levis looked good last week, he has a tough matchup here. I like the low-scoring game script for my builds.

TJ Zwarych: The Titans are one of the best defenses in the NFL against the run but one of the worst against the pass. I don’t think the game will be very high scoring, but I think both passing games are able to get it going in a gross, turnover-filled game, with the kickers being heavily involved in the red zone.

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?
