DFS PICKS Week 8
We’ve partnered with JOCK MKT for football season, and so far BIG JOHN Laghezza has been plucking the values from the high and low end. If you haven’t played JOCK MKT yet, it’s essentially a stock market for players, so you buy them a one price for the week and see if they turn a profit.

If you missed me and Tambo chatting about the Week 8 DraftKings slate… SHAME. Still time to rectify that however. We talked through Sam Ehlinger builds (how that may apply to Malik Willis), and potentially doing the inverse and overloading with Jalen Hurts. It was a good one.

As you can see, regardless of how much value opens up at RB, none is expected to be better than Tony Pollard at $6,100. That ownership is getting out of hand, but this is exactly what the numbers suggested for Jacobs last week. I think I’m far more likley to go 100% Pollard than just 50%. And of note, the reason we talked throuygh the Hurts lineups was his optimal percentage. In a week lacking the stud QBs, Hurts is far and away the best on paper on the slate. His optimal rate is 13.6% with the next closest QB coming in at 10.0% (Kirk Cousins). Yes, using Ehlinger or Willis can open up at the top of the board for you, but if Hurts has a 80th+ percentile game, you’ll likely need him to get to the top of large field GPPs.
BETTING NOTES
Some betting intel as you look to spin a profit in Week 8 …
- Since 2000, when the spread is less than a FG and the over/under is at least 49 points, under tickets cash 55.8% of the time (Raiders/Saints)
- Since 2000, when the spread is less than a FG and the over/under is at least 49 points, the favorite wins outright 56.4% of the time (Raiders)
- Since 2000, when the spread is less than a FG and the over/under is no more than 41 points, underdogs win outright 48.4% of the time (Broncos, Jets)
- During the Kyle Shanahan era, the 49ers are 5-1 ATS against the Rams when the game goes under the projected total
- It’s a low number this week, but both offenses rank bottom-8 in pace of play
- Fantasy D/ST note … the Bears rarely drop back, so take this for what it is, but they allow pressure on 40.5% of drop backs when not blitzed. That’s not only considerably above the league average of 24.4%, it’s nearly six percentage points worse than any other team
They play a Cowboys team that creates pressure without blitzing 35.9% of the time … no other defense is at even 31%
The most expensive D/ST on the DK board is rarely a good idea. It’s also rarely popular. If there’s a week to do it, this might just be it
The TIDBITS
You should really do yourself a favor and follow Tambo…
Week 7 Props
The double hit on RB over receiving totals this week is my lean. There was a GREAT Daniel Jones passing total eariler this week btw (210.5). The Run The Sims Prize Picks tool sniffed it out immediately and it got smashed. (Another reason to join btw). It now sits at 195.5.
