It’s sort of becoming tradition to be a little later than normal on these blogs, so I hope all two of the people that read this have adjusted accordingly. Despite my ups and downs in game betting this season, I’ve stayed relatively consistent on Draft Kings. Week 13 brings some good matchups, especially considering it’s becoming “do or die” times for a lot of teams that are trying to secure playoff spots. You know what that means: Balls to wall play around the league, including from unlikely sources. Let’s fucking get to it

For Week 13, I played it safer than a guy who wears a condom while he’s kissing. Tame as it may be, my second lineup is considerably more risky than the first, as I’m relying on the run game and taking long shots on a number of receivers. Like I said before, lot of desperation coming up this week, so I’m predicting a higher number of teams are gonna be airing it out more, hence taking a gamble on random receivers getting some red zone looks. But as always, just gonna have to sit back, drink beers, and see what happens this weekend. I’ll have my betting blog up shortly, but if I don’t finish it before kickoff, Saints by a billion.
