01/09 CFB Cheat Sheet: Semifinals DFS Overview

We’ve reached the bittersweet point of the college football season. The sad part is that there are only 3 total college football games left on the calendar. The bright side is that we are left with 4 great teams and 4 historically significant programs that should provide us with 2 great semifinal games and a compelling national championship game. We can only break down what is right in front of us, so we’ve got a slate overview for both CFP semifinal games – use this to help with creating your D

12/14 CFB Cheat Sheet: Slate Overview

So, with bowl season upon us, we are going to create a slight variation on our regular CFB DFS articles. With the variability of bowl games with all of the opt-outs, coaches leaving, and transfer portaling, the top plays on the DFS slate might not always present themselves days in advance. So what we will do is break down each game, tell you what you can expect from them, and how you can apply it to your DFS lineups and player props.

12/07 CFB Cheat Sheet: Top DFS Plays

This is a Conference Championship weekend unlike any other. We’ve got games that are essentially pre-playoff playoff games in the ACC and Big 12, and then we’ve got games that are almost formalities between two teams that have already clinched CFP berths in the SEC and Big Ten. This season, it feels like all of the emphasis for every team is on making the playoff and not any accomplishment, dampening the importance of this week. However, I think that feeling will go away once the games kick off

This slate is a little bittersweet to me. On the one hand, it’s Rivalry Week, and we have some truly great games and great players on tap. On the other hand, it’s the last Saturday of the regular season. This is the last large slate that we will see all season. After this it’s the medium-sized Conference Championship slate and then small and medium-sized Bowl Season slates. This is the last time we will have this many options at our disposal to build a lineup. It’s been a fun ride this season. L

“Just win, baby” used to be the slogan of late Raiders Owner Al Davis, and there is no more fitting adage than that when discussing the current state of the CFB world. With all of the debates and hypotheticals swirling around who should get in the first 12-team college football playoff, all that teams can do to help their cause is go out and win on the field. There has literally never been more motivation to go do so. Just win, baby. It’s also what we’re looking to do in DFS this week – we’re on

I’m going to start off this week with a hot take: Saturday Fall weddings should be illegal. This week, I will be at my brother-in-law’s wedding as opposed to being on a couch watching football. Don’t get me wrong, it will be a fun time, but nothing should interfere with the sanctity of a college football Saturday. It may be a good thing (or bad thing) for my mental health, however, as I will be unable to sweat my CFB DFS lineups for a few hours. Because I’m certain I will still be playing this w

This week, we saw the tides begin to shift a little bit in college football. Not only did we see the return of MACtion on Tuesday and Wednesday, but the first College Football Playoff rankings were released. This signals a changing of the times where the discussions turn from “Who’s going to win?” to “Who’s in?” This week also signals the end of the regular season in Underdog Fantasy’s CFB Best Ball formats, so all of your teams that you drafted on there will either advance to the playoffs or be

The calendar turns to November and the biggest college football season of all-time rolls on. I really do think that the 12-team playoff has increased the importance of the regular season – so many more teams are playing with their CFP lives on the line every single week! All of the detractors said that there would be less meaningful games but in fact there are more. It’s great. I love college football. Let’s dive into this week’s plays:

We’ve reached the point in the season where there are so many good college football games taking place on Saturdays that I genuinely don’t know how DraftKings narrows it down to 12 games for the main slate. I’m not complaining because I think they generally do a good job, but it’s always strange to see matchups like Virginia/UNC and Georgia Tech/Virginia Tech left off of the main slate. Anyway, we’re here to talk about the games that ARE on the Main slate, so here’s who we like this week!
