Geek's NFL DFS Vegas Lines Podcast for Fanduel and Draftkings Week 1

Welcome to the opening week NFL DFS podcast brought to you by the one, the only DFS Army….and also game breakdown hosted by me, @Choppodong, as I’m known inside the DFS Army. You can find me out on twitter under the same name. I’m a coach and contributor in the Army and known as a bit of chalk eater. My niche seems to be taking the newer DFS players/members and coaching them up on the fundamentals of player selection, contest selection, and bankroll management.

Joining me, again this year, is founder and 5-star General of the DFS Army, the @Ffootballgeek. Follow him on Twitter and in the DFS Army both under the same name, as well.

Week One DFS NFL Games

OPENING GAME OF 2017 SEASON!!
Which RBs will NE use in positive game script? Will Alex Smith overcome his fears of throwing it deep if KC falls behind?
Brady can be slower starter, but still cash viable.

Chalky defense for the Bills being big favorite at home and low implied total for the Jets. Did the Bills lose too much on defense this offseason?
LeSean McCoy should be workhorse in this one. Are any Jets’ weapons worth playing?
This line has changed to make BUF even stronger play on DST. NYJ implied total down to 16 points, and BUF now favored by 8 making McCoy very strong on paper.
Possible GPP contrarian moves with some Jets…

Lots of ways for ATL to score points here. Don’t be afraid to stack it with a lot of combos.
Super Bowl hangover?
Chicago likely Howard or bust this year.

#Harvey narrative in play. HOU defense makes great play with new JAX implied total under 18.
Fade JAX offense
Lamar Miller might make sneaky play…

Ertz should be your chalk TE. He’s cheap and carries his own narrative.
Cousins and WRs, but temper expectations a tad on Pryor early in season.

DJ is the #1 player on the whole slate.
Vegas Line flipped. Now, ARI favored by 1.5.

CHALK ALERT!! Highest total of week and close spread to boot. Should this game be treated like ARI @ DET? Which should we focus on?
Marcus Mariota being whispered as chalk QB. How does Derek Carr compare with Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree?
Another Vegas Line flip! TEN now favored by 2. Glance at #BoxCheckers to see how this affects Mariota.

Does this game fly completely under everyone’s radar? Oversight on their part or smart given all the red DvP rankings on both sides?
Is Jay Cutler playable? With DeVante Parker……or Jarvis Landry? Can Jay Ajayi go for 200 yards?
Yet another Vegas flip. TBB now favored by 2 bringing MIA implied total under 20.

43 point total out of Vegas. Division game. Feels slow, plodding, not DFS relevant.
Can we name 3 players worth talking about from this entire game? Can The Geek?

Looks lopsided and like a great spot for Le’Veon Bell. But, is he in a better spot than DJ after missing camp holding out?
PIT home/road splits.
How chalky is PIT defense this week?

Line flip again! Rams now 3.5 point favorites and the game total tanked down to 41.5!
Gurley stronger. Rams defense cash lock with new implied points on IND at 19.

Rodgers tends to start slow a few weeks, bitch at the media, and give us a spelling lesson.
Lots of options in this game outside of the RBs.

So many people talking about Cam Newton and Kelvin Benjamin. Can we trust them?
Is Carlos Hyde the best value on the board this week?

Zeke or no Zeke, that is the question. How much does this game’s script hinge on Ezekiel Elliott playing? Darren McFadden? Dez Bryant? Dak Prescott? Who is safe and who is more of a gamble?
Does the propensity for Eli Manning to throw copious picks make Dallas’ defense a strong play at home being favored?
This game is historically low scoring. Vegas might be wrong here. Line adjusting as we speak down to 47.5 from 50.

We know Drew Brees has big road/home splits. We know the Vikings defense was solid last year. How to we react?
Is Sam Bradford the cheapest viable QB? How valuable is he stacked with Kyle Rudolph or Stefon Diggs?
Adrian Peterson and his MASSIVE #RevengeNarrative!!

Last game of the week. Can we focus on anything with all this red? Or should we take a shot or two?
Trevor Siemian loved Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas last year. But, is this the spot to play them yet?
