Rise & Grind: Thursday, October 6th
Good morning and welcome to the Rise & Grind, the place where DFS is cooked up to perfection and ready for your plate.
Thursdays in the fall always seem to have a certain hype to them. Not just because of the weekend lurking (finally), but our old pal football is back to ignite our day and get us stoked for the upcoming NFL Sunday.
It’s time to dust off your pair of Uggs (Tom Brady joke) and your lucky parka, so you’ll be warm enough to delve into today’s action, which includes NFL and preseason NBA.
We also have the winner of the MadBum contest from yesterday’s Rise & Grind!
Frolic along as we embark on a journey through yesterday and plan ahead for what’s on tap tonight.
Rise & Grind MadBum Contest Winner
Last night I challenged the readers to a puzzle, a fun puzzle. I asked them to guess the amount of FanDuel points Madison Bumgarner was going to accumulate in the National League Wildcard showdown between the New York Mets & San Francisco Giants.
MadBum finished his magical start with 57 FanDuel points.
The winner is thebonezone with the guess of 55 FD points – please check your RG inbox for a message from me with instructions on how to obtain your prize.
Congratulations and a HUGE thank you to all who participated!
