Shootouts of the Week

By examining the implied scores derived from the point spread and over/under metrics, we can pinpoint games with the potential for offensive fireworks. When the over/under line is set high, it signifies an expectation of a high-scoring affair, making players from those contests particularly enticing for DFS lineups.

Additionally, games with narrow point spreads suggest closely contested battles where both teams will likely keep their foot on the gas pedal, creating opportunities for multiple players to accumulate fantasy points. Identifying these projected shootouts allows DFS enthusiasts to target players from these games and take full advantage of the potential for explosive point production this week.
