Ivan Herrera 
Welcome back to another exciting season of CFB! After a solid week 11 slate, we are back with another action packed Saturday.
The purpose of this article is to break down the college football main slates, both on the DFS and betting side. 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 QBs:
Favorite QB on the Slate:
Quinn Ewers, UT:
Ewers price on DraftKings feels like a complete mis-price. He is the seventh highest priced QB despite being the starter on the 10th best passing team in CFB and is taking on the 10th worst passing defense in CFB. Arkansas had a bye week last Saturday so the last time we saw them on the field, they were giving up over 500 passing yards to Jaxson Dart and Ole Miss. I’m expecting Ewers and the Longhorns will treat this as a showoff game, as they have faced criticism for being ranked 3rd in the latest CFP rankings. And if Arkansas can’t improve on their 13.09 yards allowed per completion it will surely be a statement game for Texas.
| Pivots | Value QBS |
| Riley Leonard, ND | Drew Allar, PSU |
| Cade Klubnik, CLEM | Fernando Mendoza, CAL |
| Kyle McCord, SYR | Tyler Shough, UL |
| Garrett Nussmeier, LSU | X |
| Blake Horvath, NAVY | X |
- Unfortunately there really isn’t any cheap QBs on DK that stick out. Allar/Mendoza/Shough are as low as I am going for this slate.
- Every QB I have listed should be paired with at least one pass catcher, except Leonard and Horvath. Both of those QBs are fine naked as Leonard’s running ability has been a large portion of Notre Dame’s offense and Navy doesn’t throw much so 90% of Horvath points is coming from his legs.
- Ewers is my favorite QB but on this slate I think your top QB should be one of Ewers/Klubnik/Nussmeier. They have great matchups that can help them finish near the top of the slate
The RBs:
Favorite RB on the Slate:
Makhi Hughes, TUL:
Hughes is my favorite overall play on the slate. He has been one of the most consistent running backs in CFB, having four straight games with 30+ points on DK and just missed a sixth one in Week 6 by .6. This week he takes on a middle of the road run defense in Navy. This game is going to be a dream matchup for people who love watching teams run the ball. In what is a must win for Tulane’s AAC title hopes, I think they are going to lean on Hughes to control the game.
| Pivots | Value RBs |
| Eli Heidenreich, NAVY | Kaytron Allen, PSU |
| Jeremiyah Love, ND | Quintrevion Wisner, UT |
| Isaac Brown, UL | Jadan Baugh, UF |
| Phil Mafah, CLEM | X |
| Bryson Washington, BAY | X |
Quick Note: Jadan Baugh is sub 4K on DraftKings, I wouldn’t force him into any lineups but if you need someone under 4K he is definitely worth a punt.
The WRs:
| Favorite WR Plays | Pivots | Value WRs |
| Isaiah Bond, UT | Jackson Meeks, SYR | Makai Lemon, USC |
| Ja’Corey Brooks, UL | Mario Williams, TUL | Mason Taylor, LSU |
| Antonio Williams, CLEM | Elic Ayomanor, STAN | Nyziah Hunter, CAL |
| Trebor Pena, SYR | Tyler Warren, PSU | Gunnar Helm, UT |
| Kyren Lacy, LSU | Travis Hunter, COL | Jack Endries, CAL |
Drago’s Best Bets:
- Texas -12.5 (-110) vs Arkansas
- Clemson vs Pittsburgh Over 52.5 (-110)
- Syracuse +10 (-112) vs CAL
- LSU -3.5 (-108) vs Florida
- USC Alt Line -9.5 (+108) vs Nebraska
