Another week, another Drunk White Kid Draft Kings guide.

This week I stayed away from some of the big names and tried to make a little bit more balanced teams than I have in the past. It’s only week 6, so I figure why not experiment a bit and see how it goes. I know they say if it isn’t broken don’t fix it, but whoever first said that idiom probably wasn’t a gambler. You have to adapt sometimes, and if it doesn’t work I’ll just go back to my old style. I’m currently still waiting on my bookie to text me the spreads for this week, but once I get them I’ll put up my betting guide for week 6 hopefully some time this afternoon. That’s all for now. Set those lineups people, and even though I avoided players from it, there’s a good matchup between the Giants and Eagles tonight.
