NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Thursday Night Football

What is your favorite game-script build and why?

squirrelpatrol:The total on this game is at least 3 points higher than every other game on the board this week, so it should be high-scoring, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it ends up being a bit lower-scoring (and closer) than the line indicates. Detroit invested in the RB position in both the draft (with ) and in free agency (with ), and I wouldn’t be surprised to see them try to slow the game down with the running game to keep off the field.

headChopper:Plenty of scoring in the game but isn’t a shootout. Rather it is two offenses that are very efficient and methodically move down the field and score. Games like that tend to not have the pass-catcher in catch-up mode that goes crazy. Instead, it is offenses that spread the ball around, getting multiple people involved.

kmurray03:Despite the Lions being 6.5-point underdogs here, my favorite game-script is one in which the Chiefs are playing from behind. I think the Chiefs win this game, but I do think the Lions give them a good fight and potentially lead for a good chunk of this game.

TJ Zwarych:I plan for a lot of scoring in this one. I’ll try to jam and in as many lineups together as possible, but my favorite combo to build around is Mahomes and Amon-Ra St. Brown. I’ll take shots on cheap players who could potentially score touchdowns around them, like , , and , to be able to afford a hefty amount of Mahomes/Goff/St. Brown combos in my lineups.
