DraftKings college football showdown picks September 19

We only have one college football game on Thursday night, and it promises to be a better game than it’s NFL counterpart. So I suggest putting in a DraftKings college football showdown lineup for this one! It promises to be entertaining since Tulane and Houston really don’t like each other.

But Mike, you say. I don’t really know anything about Houston, Tulane, their conferences, coaches, or DraftKings college football in general. The good news is for those of you that play the NFL showdown slates – hell, even the MLB and NBA showdown slates – is that nothing really changes. You still have to pay 1.5x market value for a captain, then you can fill the rest of your roster with whatever you want. You just have to have at least one player from each team.

The one notable difference in the DraftKings college football showdown tournament is that you cannot choose a defense. I’ll tell you that this is for obvious reasons. Defense is not a college level course for most schools. Don’t fret though! It just opens more offensive options.

Tulane’s strength is their defense. Houston’s strength is their offense, led by electric quarterback D’Eriq King. However, Houston’s offense has sputtered under new coach Dana Holgorsen. Or has it? Houston has had to play two heavyweights already in Oklahoma and Washington State, both with stout defenses.

I expect this game to be on the lower end of the scoring spectrum, so it is especially important to get the key pieces of each offense for this DraftKings college football showdown matchup. That’s hard to do right? Especially when you can’t punt with a defense. Not necessarily. There are some sneaky plays in here that can open everything up. Let’s dig in to this interesting DraftKings college football showdown!
