After some big hits yesterday we have a 2 game MNF slate tonight. I am curious to see if the NFL moves forward with more MNF double headers in the future as it helps them avoid having a MNF where there is an island disaster game that nobody wants to watch. The other side of that scenario is like tonight when both games are VERY much worth watching and we’ll have overlap between the two.
The great news for DFS fans is that this gives us one of the best DFS contests available. That would be a Prime Time NFL two game slate, which to me has been very generous over the years to build lineups for.

Gabriel Davis – Questionable/Doubtful

Since it’s just two games we’ll start by quickly assessing any game flow theory options for the two games.
Tennessee at Buffalo
This game has the best offense on the slate in the Bills but they are likely with a banged up Gabe Davis or no Gabe Davis at all. All this really does is funnel things even more for our picks in this game.
To me the Titans are one team who can give the Bills some fits but this is a different Bills team who should just steam roll through everyone for the first couple of months and right now the Titans just don’t have the firepower to keep up if Josh Allen is going to be on his A+ game. With it being a slightly odd start time he’ll be a little under the A+ game but still damn good.
Final score prediction: Bills 40, Titans 13
Touchdown predictions:
- Stefon Diggs x2 (BUF)
- James Cook (BUF)
- Bills Defense/ST (BUF)
- Robert Woods (TEN)

Minnesota at Philadelphia
Look for the DFS public to probably jump on this game. You have two star WR who are coming off big weeks in Justin Jefferson and A.J. Brown and of course the upside of Jalen Hurts and his rushing ability making him draw some ownership away from Josh Allen.
Philadelphia in a home game on MNF is likely to be a chalky betting pick too against Kirk Cousins, and with the Vikings coming off a week one divisional home win I think we have to lean that way as well.
Final score prediction: Eagles 27, Vikings 23.
Touchdown predictions:
- Dallas Goedert (PHI)
- DeVonta Smith (PHI)
- Jalen Hurts Rushing TD (PHI)
- Adam Theilen (MIN)
- Dalvin Cook (MIN)
