While we are mostly a selfless group here at @cbb_dfs, on rare occasions we can be a bit self-serving. Today’s content is a good example of that. Hang with me here Bucketheads… As a father of three, I use bribes every day. If I need my 6-year-old son to do something, I bribe him with chocolate. If I need my 10-year-old daughter to do something, I bribe her with ice cream. If I need my 12-year-old daughter to do something, well, I’m shit out of luck. If anyone has any advice on handling a pre-teen, I’m all ears. Ok, I digress. So where are we going with this intro, Byrd? Well, it’s been a long ass week. I’m about to start another

Tuesday Hangover
What a night! While your boys at CBB DFS are not technically hungover (saving ourselves for March), it sort of feels like one after an exhilarating and action-packed opening to the season that kept us up way past our bedtimes. While we mostly saw a smattering of tune-ups, it did feel good to be watching games again and most importantly, bringing you the absolute fire DFS content. Tonight we have a small five-game slate, headlined by Purdue and Providence. $10 will get you a shot at $5k. Not bad unless you hit the Powerball last night. A short PSA: With so much uncertainty this time of year, we at CBB DFS are duty-bound to bring order to the chaos. That
Final Four Saturday
I can't believe we are here. Only three men's college basketball games remaining in the season. The Final Four begins Saturday and after all the chaos leading up to this point we are left with 4 true Blue Blood programs remaining in the dance. DraftKings main slate features a 6,274 player field and an $80,000 prize pool. Winner will take home $20K. That's like two full tanks of gas, Bucketheads!! We don't have Prize Picks at the bottom, but we'll send out some winners on Saturday via Twitter (@CBB_DFS). This is also good opportunity for us to pander one last time for donations. If we've helped you win some cash this year or provided cheap entertainment, feel free to throw
NIT Tuesday
We've got ourselves a little appetizer as we wait for the blue blood Final Four heat on Saturday. Although the over/unders are uninspiring, both games should be very competitive. As we near the end of the season, we'll take any hoops we can get at this point. Let's enjoy the small slate and hopefully one of our Bucketheads can take down the $2k 1st place price. Good luck tonight!!

MARCH MADNESS!!! Thursday’s $25K Tourney
The best sports day in the history of Western civilization has arrived Bucketheads!! There is nothing better than taking off work and ignoring your family for 48 straight hours while watching of the round of 64. Given the parity this season, we are fully expecting an incredible slate of hoops on Thursday. From a DFS perspective, with the 16 game slate and some pretty tight pricing overall, should be a ton of unique lineups and ownership spread out fairly well. A couple housekeeping notes, especially for any new folks giving us a follow: With a 16 game slate, we can't list EVERY play. If there is someone you are thinking about and you don't see them listed below, that's
Fantastic Friday Features 8-Game Slate
Your boys @cbb_dfs have been completely locked in to start the season. We hope to continue that trend tonight. As a general reminder, if you don't see a name on the list that you are thinking about, that's ok!! We don't have the capacity to write up EVERY player this year, so if you see someone you like and they aren't on our list, they were probably someone we thought long and hard about as well.

Small Thursday Slate on Veteran’s Day
We want to take a moment and thank all military personnel past and present. It is your sacrifice that makes passion projects like @CBB_DFS possible in this great country. Based on the leaderboard last night, I'm guessing we had some happy Bucketheads last night. However, our focus is on today's small slate, which consists of 3 games that will tip off before dinner time. No over/unders are going to blow you out of the water, but if you like value options, you've come to the right place!! I know it's early but we feel like we are in mid-season form. LFG, Bucketheads!

Run it Back! CBB DFS Day 2!
The second day of the season tips off at 5:30 for our DFS slate. Like usual your boys at CBBDFS got you covered. Yesterday we were 2-0 in Prize Picks can we make it 4-for-4?

Welcome Back! Champions Classic Tips, HOT CBB Season Ahead
Welcome back Bucketheads!! We’ve missed you!! If you listened to last night’s pod, you know your boys @cbb_dfs have gone through a little change in the offseason. James, B1G and ACC expert and hot takes extraordinaire, has accepted a role at DraftKings. Due to the potential conflict of interest, he will no longer be able to provide the heat for us here at cbb_dfs. However, he’ll always be a Buckethead and wants to see YOU win all the money this year. As a result, we’ll be changing up our style a bit to be more direct, concise, and player focused. Although the look may be slightly different, we still think it will provide a great layer of foundational knowledge as
Final Four Saturday
It's been a wild and turbulent season, but we're finally here!! This year's Final Four features the two best teams in college basketball all season, and the potential for a championship matchup game that we were promised back in December and didn't get due to Covid. We've also got an under the radar Houston team that is a defensive juggernaut but hasn't played a single digit seed yet this tournament. Finally, we've got the blue blood turned Cinderella in #11 UCLA. Regardless of the outcome, we've got you fully covered from a DFS standpoint! The main event on DraftKings is the $80k Penultimate Pullup ($20k to 1st). There are a couple nice showdowns to consider as well. We're digging deep today
