I personally love these all-day, three-game slates so I’ll be playing heavy.
If anyone has any questions on how to approach this with DFS or how I’m personally betting it, please let me know in chat.
Indianapolis Colts (4-8-1) @ Minnesota Vikings (10-3) MIN -4, O/U 47.5
The Colts are coming off a bye and Vegas has this as basically a pick ’em as they visit the 10-3 Minnesota Vikings. Vegas is privy to the fact the Vikings are frauds and they’ve actually been cumulatively outscored this year overall by a point. Kevin O’Connell is a fake sharp and it showed glaringly last week when he repeatedly ran into the stout Lions front line while the air game was working. This is going to be a clash of the “best at” as the Colts excel at running the ball on offense while the Vikings excel at stopping the run on defense. The edge here should go to the Colts since they are coming off a bye and Vegas seems to agree. The Vikings haven’t been able to stop anything in the air so that bodes well for Matt Ryan, Michael Pittman and Parris Campbell. On the flip side, the Colts haven’t been able to stop the run to save their life so it will benefit Dalvin Cook. I do think the Vikings pull out the win and this is definitely a game I could see Super Teasing on all four angles.
Preferred Game Stack
QB: Matt Ryan
RB: Dalvin Cook
WR: Michael Pittman
WR: Parris Campbell
Baltimore Ravens (9-4) @ Cleveland Browns (5-8) CLE -3, O/U 38
I’ve had a hard time wrapping my head around this spread. Divisional games are always tight and the Ravens vs. the Browns is no exception. Vegas is both saying Tyler Huntley is going to quarterback this Ravens offense and saying it won’t matter, the 5-8 Browns are still just as good as the division leading 9-4 Ravens. The Ravens and Browns also line up perfectly for a game stack. The Browns can’t stop the run and the Ravens can’t stop perimeter WRs. This bodes well for my favorite prop bet on the day, Gus Edwards, as well. I like the over 38 here and the Ravens getting 3 points.
Preferred Game Stack
QB: Deshaun Watson (Or Tyler Huntley)
RB: Gus Edwards
WR: Amari Cooper
WR: Donovan Peoples-Jones
TE: Mark Andrews
Miami Dolphins (8-5) @ Buffalo Bills (10-3) BUF -7, O/U 44
I dislike Tua Tagovailoa this week. This spot couldn’t be any more of a smash spot for the Bills against the QB who is two weeks removed from MVP conversation. Tua has an awful track record of playing in the cold, although a limited sample size. This game is going to be in the high 20’s with precipitation (snow or rain), have 10-15 mph sustained winds, and a projected 9+ inches of snow in the area during the game. He also has played very bad against two good pass defenses the last two weeks. This week is no exception as the Bills are still playing top tier defense across the board. His head coach, Mike McDaniel, hasn’t done him any favors either by almost abandoning the run. Tua hasn’t looked accurate and his WRs aren’t wide open like they were. The Bills are flat out a better team almost across the board and they will want revenge after losing in Miami earlier in the year. I won’t be stacking this game because of the weather and my thoughts that Tua won’t be able to push the game. I would prefer one-off players here like Devin Singletary or Dawson Knox. I’m willing to lay the 7 in favor of the Bills and I also like playing under on Miami’s team total.
Preferred Game Stack
QB: Josh Allen
RB: None
WR: Stefon Diggs
WR: Tyreek Hill or Jaylen Waddle
TE: Dawson Knox
