Today we will recap all the crazy things that happened over the weekend, including round three of Team Chalk vs Team Crazy, winners of our NFL Sunday RG Swag Freeroll and of course everything you need to know about tonight’s slate. So come with me and frolic through this past weekend’s ups, downs and the you’ve got to be kidding mes.
The DFS Showdown: Team Chalk vs. Team Crazy — Round 3
As promised the Rise & Grind is here to run through round three of the ultimate showdown between Team chalk (Derek Carty & Dean79804) vs Team Crazy (Stevietpfl & TheSeigeDFS). First things first, I threw up a poll on my personal twitter to see who the fans (that would be you people) slotted to win the third head-to-head battle between these two teams.
Here were the results.
So by majority vote (which was kinda skewed since it was re-tweeted by TheSeigeDfs) Team Crazy was the favorite by twitter folk.
What actually happened?
Well after what looked like a clear getaway for Team Chalk, Scott Kazmir their SP2 went down with an apparent chest injury after throwing one inning and allowing two hits in it and finishing with a whopping 1.05 DK points.
This was right before Mark Trumbo completed his impressive game with a bomb in extras to hoist the the O’s over the Snakes. Mark Trumbo ended with 21 DK points from two hits including his walk-off home run in the bottom of the 12th inning.
Check out who the teams put out in the third installment of this DFS competition.
Final Score Team Crazy: 114.80 Team Chalk: 96
The series is now 2-1 in favor of Team Chalk.
What would a run through of the showdown be without reaction from the two teams. Team Chalk was pretty tilted with the crumbling of one Mr. Scott Kazmir. Here are a few gems from my own twitter feed.
The fourth round is scheduled for tonight, so look out for those results first thing tomorrow morning.

Sunday’s Big Winners
Another Sunday in the books; time to see who walked away with that huge chunk of change totaling in a million buckeroonies. But alas there was a TIE in the most sought out contest in NFL DFS. Both papagates, a familiar name on the leaderboard, and cmo_22wesley scored a huge 247.2 DraftKings points last night in DraftKings’ NFL $4.44M FANTASY FOOTBALL MILLIONAIRE [$1M TO 1ST] and scrambled away with some big coin. Both rosters got an insane game from Terrelle Pryor Sr; Terrelle went off scoring 34.9 DK points from a rushing TD, 144 receiving yards from 8 receptions and 35 passing yards through the air. Dude was everywhere yesterday!
Here’s one of the winning lineups.
