Triple Option’s Trod gets us ready for the CFB DFS Week 1 Friday’s four-game Main Slate on DraftKings and five-game Main Slate on FanDuel starting at 6:30 pm ET.

The majority of the time you will want to eat some chalk in CFB, which I will notate every week. I will be providing my core four here, which will be Cash- and GPP-viable plays. Generally, we will be focusing on game totals at or over 57.5 implied total points. Ideally, for game stacks, we want a fast-paced, competitive game with a high total.

2026 MLB Umpire Report – Thursday’s Strike Zone
MLB Umpire Report | Thursday, September 3rd – If you’ve followed me over the years, you know I use home plate umpire tendencies to help identify the best strikeout prop opportunities on the board. With Swish Analytics no longer providing the data I previously relied on, the focus now is on umpire tendencies, strikeout props, recent pitcher form, and opponent strikeout rates. If a game is not listed, it simply means there was no significant umpire edge worth targeting… You need a subscription to access this content.
