Early college football DFS picks September 12:

What better way to celebrate getting older than with a day of college football DFS? Sure, we don’t quite have the marquee games that we were expecting, but this is still a good slate of games to make some money on.

We have a solid seven game slate with the ACC and Big 12(10) joining in on the chaos. Where should we attack? Who’s worth the big money? Don’t worry. I’ll cover all of that!

We had a good start to the college football DFS season last weekend. Thursday was better than Saturday, but I came out ahead in both so I’m not complaining. Sometimes going with small school players can pay off big. Many college football DFS players stick with the names they know. The bigger money is in the ones they don’t.

The scoring for DraftKings college football is much the same as it is for the NFL with one notable exception: the super flex! That means aside from the flex position which is RB/WR, you can add another player from any position! Want four running backs? Go right ahead! Five wide receivers? Sure! Two quarterbacks? Of course! Just stay under the salary cap!

The super flex replaces the defense, which is essential in college football. This is all about the offense. College football DFS scoring realizes that!
