DraftKings college football showdown picks November 22

We have another DraftKings college football showdown slate tonight. This time the Mountain West gets the slate to themselves with a suddenly powerful Colorado State offense taking on the stingy Wyoming defense as the highest elevation in all of college football in Laramie, Wyoming.

It’s football. It’s snow, or at the very least, extreme cold. That has to favor the Wyoming defense, but since we can’t pick defenses in DraftKings college football showdown like we can in the NFL, we have to settle for kickers. Then again, do you really want to hinge your success on a guy that has to kick a ball that feels like a brick in extreme cold? That’s the decision we have to make here.

Zonovan Knight turned out to be a solid captain last night and using both quarterbacks as flex plays led me to the cash line. Is that the way we need to build tonight?

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.

Kickers are really only worth it if you see it being a high scoring game or a game of field goals. In this matchup, I would vote for the latter.

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!
