DFS Marlin’s Catch of the Week: NFL DFS & Betting Selections Week 9

Last week was, in my opinion, my first big miss of the season, as this article went just 11/22, hitting at a 50% clip, whereas all previous weeks hit at roughly 65% or higher, with the last few weeks just under 70%. This brings the season average down on the article to about 63%. Overall, we’re hitting at a high rate, and we cannot expect to be profitable 100% of the time. Last week’s cover player did not hit as well, dropping the season hit-rate on cover players to 75% (6/8). The goal of this article is to provide some insight and transparency into my DFS & betting process and approach leading up to an NFL slate, along with picks and plays that I’ve landed on for this week in result. Generally, my goal for the season is to provide DFS plays that hit at a 65-70% clip, and we are just about doing that. Any given week, the approach and strategy may adjust, depending on what the slate looks like and how I want to attack it. Let’s dive into preparation for this week and see how we are attacking Week 9!
