Late College football DFS picks October 17: Rooooooooll Tide
We have a strong five-game slate for our late college football DFS tournaments tonight. Well, we had five games. COVID slashed it to three and took most of the value with it when we lost the Charlotte-FIU and UTEP-Southern Miss games. No Frank Gore Jr. I’m disappointed!
With the FIU and Charlotte game now off the docket, we have a few less options. I’m more torqued about the loss of Harbison than anything, but it also takes Norton, one of my favorite cheap QB’s, off the slate. We have to get a little more creative now.
The upstart Florida State team faces a North Carolina team that just trampled Virginia Tech. The night finishes off with Boston College, now a passing team, against one of the worst rush defenses in the country. That should be interesting.
The marquee matchup is the Alabama-Georgia game. Ownership will be tilted towards this one just because of name recognition. Don’t worry. There are still places to separate ourselves.
I went nuts on the 20 max last Saturday with good results. It would have been a lot better had Brennan Armstrong not got hurt and if Quentin Johnston caught a damn pass!
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!
