Getting to a differentiated combination of viable players with upside and a lack of ownership is challenging on a slate such as this but utilizing groups can help structure lineups that will be more likely to avoid duplication while maintaining significant upside for NFL DFS point scoring on both DraftKings and FanDuel. With the expectation of a shootout and an abundance of premium skill player options, as well as two excellent quarterbacks and stout running games, in the early contest, the weight of public ownership leans slightly in that direction, but everyone will be popular on a two-game slate. The afternoon game, of course, has a larger point spread, with the hometown Chiefs favored by 7.5, while the Rams are just 3.5-point favorites in the evening game. The two games on the Sunday slate provide a bounty of NFL DFS options for both Showdown slates and the combined two-game main slate across the industry. The games are differently shaped, with the early game between the Bengals and Chiefs carrying a huge 54-point total and the evening game between the 49ers and Rams dropping down to 46 points.
The NFL has a difficult act to follow for Conference Championships weekend, after the amazing four games from the Divisional Round.
