Welcome back to another exciting season of CFB Bowl Season! Thank you to those who have followed my articles over the course of the regular season. But now it is time for my favorite time in CFB and that’s the bowl games.
The purpose of this article is to break down the college football main slates both on the DFS and betting sites. The article includes my favorite plays at every position as well as honorable mentions. You can also find my favorite bets under my Dragos Best Bets section.
The Captains
Blake Corum, Mich (DK 16.8K/ FD 15.5K)
Starting with the best player on the slate. Corum had a bit of a letdown year this season as he just went over the 1K mark on 218 carries. But the fourth-year RB came back to Michigan this season on a mission. Last season, a knee injury during the regular season prevented him from playing in Michigan’s playoff loss to TCU. This year, he is healthy and looking to prove a point that he would have given Michigan a win last year. In front of him in the Rose Bowl is Alabama, a rush defense that ended the year ranked 31st in yards allowed per game on the ground. Alabama’s tough rush defense on paper may look to cause an issue for Corum, but Corum this season has taken on five teams that finished better than Alabama. In those five games, Corum ran for 432 yards and eight touchdowns on 90 carries. For Michigan to have a chance to take out Alabama and reach the CFP National Title game, Corum will have to serve as the leader of the offense.
Jalen Milroe, BAMA (DK 17.4K/ FD 16.5K)
Milroe would have been a Heisman finalist if the voters only took games after November 1st, as the Alabama QB became one of the best QBs the last month and a half of the season. On DraftKings, Milroe had three 30+ fantasy point games in his last five, while over on FanDuel, he just missed his third 30+ by.96. This matchup is going to be extremely difficult for both Michigan and Alabama, as the Michigan defense ranks in the top five in both passing and rushing defenses. But I trust a veteran HC like Nick Saban to have Milroe ready to go off against Michigan.
Roman Wilson, MICH (DK 13.5K/ FD 11K)
Wilson has been Michigan’s best WR this season, and I don’t expect that to change in the playoffs. Wilson finished as the team leader in yards (662) and touchdowns (11) as well as being second in receptions (41). He should be able to find space in the Alabama secondary, as Alabama should look to try and stop Corum early, which will give McCarthy and Wilson some room to work with, especially in the early parts of the game.
Value Cpt Options: Colston Loveland, MICH.
