Saturday 8/28 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back for Matchweek Three of the EPL season!

West Ham and Leicester City are the biggest favorites on the slate but their odds are both sub -200 apiece. Therefore, we don’t have to feel we need to pull from a certain team or else. As far as the bets go, I have provided a variety with a couple of parlays crossing over from Saturday to Sunday and one Sunday hedge against one.
