What a disaster slate we have today. I’ll just leave it at that. I mean, the DFS could actually be fun and the games should be competitive (well, except for one), but nobody is getting excited about anything. And that includes the infamous Music City Bowl between Auburn and Maryland.
Ole Miss vs Penn State – Peach Bowl
Not a ton of transfer/opt-out impacts on this one and you have two Quarterbacks who posses enough talent to make some plays to make this one our top game to consider today. I also like that the game is indoors on the fast Mercedes-Benz Stadium track in Atlanta.
DFS Rank: #1
Auburn vs Maryland – Music City Bowl … AKA The Greg Ward Bowl
If Auburn actually had anyone who didn’t suck then we would care if anyone is playing, they don’t, so we won’t. Maryland’s QB Baby Tua is out and that means Billy Edwards Jr (Soph) will step in. Before you assume he’s some hill billy from Western Maryland I must warn you that he is from the infamous Lake Braddock HS in Springfield, VA. Big deal, right?
DFS Rank: #4
Georgia vs Florida State – Orange Bowl
The entire Florida State team has taken their blankets and gone home to cry. Brock Bowers is out for Georgia, while QB Carson Beck is starting and returning next season. Georgia’s gonna have enough possessions here that you should slightly consider them in DFS as one offs for the easy touchdowns.
DFS Rank: #3
Toledo vs Wyoming – Arizona Bowl
The Barstool Arizona Bowl, so mute the damn TV on this one folks. DeQuann Finn hit the transfer portal, opening the door for Tucker Gleason. Both teams should be without their top CB’s.
Neither team is really gonna miss them.
DFS Rank: #2
I love that both Dart and Allar will be playing and have faith in both of them to make big plays when needed.
- Jaxson Dart – Ole Miss
- Drew Allar – Penn State
- Payton Thorne – Auburn
- Billy Edwards – Maryland … Fits the theory of new QB coming in and just getting to do whatever he wants.
- Kendall Milton – Georgia … The Dogs are gonna run right through Florida State and there’s no need for Carson Beck to show anything off in the passing game. Ground and pound and put the Seminoles out of their misery.
- Roman Hemby – Maryland
- Jacquez Stuart – Toledo … Without Finn he shoudl be able to get any red zone rushing opportunities here.
- Kaytron Allen – Penn State
- Harrison Waylee – Wyoming
- KeAndre Lambert-Smith – Penn State
- Tre Harris – Ole Miss
- Dayton Wade – Ole Miss
- Jerjuan Newton – Toledo
- Oscar Delp – Georgia

SLATE BREAKDOWN
It’s kinda balanced, no major pay up stud and no easy button value IMO. I am not touching anything on Florida State, you can have fun with that.
