We have another 6-game slate today and every contest features a game from the B1G/ACC Challenge. Excluding FSU and Purdue (-11.5) no line is greater than -4 so we should have some quality match-ups on paper. Indiana/Syracuse tip us off at 6:00 with the slate's highest over/under (147.5). Duke/Ohio State close the night at 8:30c with the second highest combined total (146.5). Good luck tonight, Bucketheads. Let's stay hot and win all the money.

ACC/B1G Challenge Headline Fun CBB Week
Happy Monday Bucketheads! Tonight we get our first look at the ACC/B1G Challenge with two match-ups on our slate. At 6:00, we will see Iowa and Virginia, and then at 8:00 an ailing Illinois will take on Notre Dame. Hopefully the B1G fares a little better than they did in the Gavitt Games. Kentucky and Gonzaga (both favored by 30+) make up two more of the 6-game slate, while it is rounded out by pedestrian O/Us in the Texas and Oregon buy-games.

Holiday Tournament Week: Wednesday 6-Pack
It's a rough night when a 269 in DK doesn't cash. Yes, our content was fire once again and we had some big over/unders, but this is more of an indictment on DraftKing's consistently bad pricing model. If a player gets 5x on their $50,000 (250 DK), they should be rewarded with a healthy cash. Alas we digress, and will send some sternly written emails to our boy James. Tonight we are writing up the slate for the final time before the Thanksgiving break. We wish all of our Bucketheads the happiest of holiday seasons. Enjoy your time with family and friends, but don't forget to squeeze in a little time for hoops. We'll be on the Twitter machine @CBB_DFS
Holiday Tournaments Week: Tuesday 5-Spot
Look at the point totals on this slate! While the slate may be small and missing some of the marquee match-ups that were established last night, it does look like it will provide some fireworks! Four of the five games have O/Us north of 150! UCLA v. Gonzaga caps off the evening in a rematch of an instant classic from March. This evening should be electric so let's get to it and win some money along the way!

Holiday Tournaments Week: Monday 8-Gamer
Happy Monday Bucketheads!! Holiday tourneys are in full swing, which means we'll have a ton of great basketball all week long. We've got a nice 8 game slate of household names, but pretty ugly over/unders across the board. Much like filling up your Thanksgiving plate, make sure you are thinking about your exposure to certain game environments. No need to fill up on green bean casserole (UGA v. UV) when you can get extra helpings of smoked turkey and stuffing (Arkansas).

Friday’s Slate Plays We Like And Prize Picks Inside!
We have a nice 7-teamer heading into the holiday tournaments week. Point totals look great with most games expected to be blow-outs, so a good time to check out that reserve heat. We've got the battle of Georgia, as UGA and Tech face off in what should be a tight game. Our west coast Bucketheads will get a late tip Arizona v Wichita St matchup in Vegas. If you play DFS for funsies or you owe a small salary to the IRS every year, you're in the right place! The CBB_DFS team will be out watching games tonight, so feel free to hit us up on Twitter! Good luck as always! Let's turn this lucky 7 into triple 7's! Game, Lines,
Thursday 5-Game Slate
After back to back 8 games slates, we have a lighter menu this evening. We'll continue to bring the DFS fire that has lead to a lot of Buckethead heat on the young season. Speaking of heat, shout out to DK user "dbaggot3" who won the main $10 DK tourney on back to back days. That's hero pants stuff right there. As for PrizePicks, a nice little 3-0 day yesterday. It only takes a couple undefeated days per week to be profitable, so we'll try to keep those going. Also a good time to remind folks that it's never a good idea to blindly follow someone's picks. We try to give our rationale for why we like certain
Gavitt Games Continue; Another 8-Game Slate Tonight
Through the first two days the Big East is 4-0 in the Gavitt Games against opponents from the B1G conference. As one twitterer pointed out - It seems like the B1G is already in post season form. That got an actual laugh out loud from us @CBBDFS. Tonight Indiana and Michigan State try to buck the trend against Saint John's and Butler. We also have UCLA, Florida State, and an NC State/Oklahoma State match-up on the docket, so lets dive in!

Wonky Tuesday Pricing Makes For Interesting 8-Game Slate
Big slate on this football-less Tuesday (we don't count the MAC). We have $2,500 going to first place to whichever Buckethead takes down the tourney tonight.
