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

Note to Bucketheads
Bucketheads, Reaching out to our faithful followers today to provide an update on the December month for @CBB_DFS. As many of you know we are a two-man operation with day jobs, families, and kid activities that will always come first and foremost. After a conference call last night, we have decided to slow down content production through the end of 2022. This does not mean we are going away. In fact, we’ll be providing PrizePicks today and throughout December. Where there will be a void is in full blown DFS writeups. These take 3-4 hours a day for tournaments that are only paying $2,000-$3,000 for first. This is where the juice doesn’t merit the squeeze – a phrase we have used quite
Turkey Week Tuesday 6-Pack
Six more games make up our Holiday Tournament night slate this evening. Like yesterday we have another small $10 tourney with the $10K Big Jam and $2,000 being awarded to first. The games start with Temple appearing on a DK slate for the 4th time this year. The DraftKings regulars have been up and down in those contests (1-2), but this is to be expected on a team that plays 6 sophomores regularly. Creighton and Arkansas is a top 10 matchup that will tip off at 7:00 tonight, but the real fireworks are late in the Syracuse/St. John's matchup as well as the San Diego State/Arizona tilt. The battle for New York has a 154.5 project total, while Maui round
Monday 7-Gamer Kicks Off Short Week!
We have a number of holiday tournaments today that make up the seven game night slate. Matchups from the Maui Invitational, Cayman Island Classic, Empire Classic, and the Fort Meyers Tip-Off highlight our slate that begins at 5:00 CST. DraftKing has an $8k Big Jam with a $10 entry that will pay $2,000 to first. Winning that is not a bad way to start what should be a short week! We will be here Monday through Wednesday, but off for the Thanksgiving weekend. Enjoy the hoops tonight and win all the money!

CBB $12k Big Jam: Friday Fireballs
It’s 4:45 am in Central Illinois right now. It’s 14 degrees wind chill, but I’m fuming inside as my personal PrizePick options are 1-3 this week. We haven’t had a 3-0 sweep all week and it drives me fucking bonkers. Alas, the sun will likely come up this morning and we’ve got an absolutely wonderful slate of games ahead of us. Our boy James is repping the CBB DFS brand in Vegas for the Continental Tire Main Event, which features Baylor v. UVA and a fireball finisher in UCLA vs. ILL. Joe and I will be heading to the bar to watch the games as well, so feel free to shoot us a tweet tonight, assuming Twitter is still functioning by
$12K Big Jam – $3,000 to 1st
The games keep coming and we keep writing. Six games on tap tonight with 4 teams in the top 20 and a Gavitt Game match-up between unbeatens Iowa and Seton Hall. Our evening tips with Michigan and Pittsburgh, where the #20 Wolverines are a -9.5 point favorite on the road, and ends with the marquee showdown of the night #2 Gonzaga against #11 Texas. Will tonight's action be as closely contested as out Champions Classic last night? Let's hope so! Now go build those lineups and win all the money, Bucketheads!

Blue Bloods, Gavitt Games, and $10k on a Tuesday!
This is a great slate. Not just because we have an uncharacteristically high $10,000 going to first place, but because all 8 of the games look great! No spread is larger than 10 points as of this morning and 6 of the 8 games are slated to go over 140 points. Now the pricing is what it is and DK algorithms are still working that out. That said, it is nice to see the stat lines within the DraftKings app now reflect the 2022-23 season and not last year's numbers. This will balance the field some, but that is where we come in. Stats don't always paint a true picture. We are going to dive in to each game and
Gavitt Games; Champions Classic, Highlight Early Week Matchups
We are back for week 2 of CBB DFS and happy to be here. Love this week in college hoops as we get to see some pretty good matchups throughout the week starting with tonight's Gavitt Games. The Gavitt Games are a matchup between Big Ten and Big East schools. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday will give us a pair of these cross-conference matchups per night, with these two tonight: DePaul @ Minnesota Butler @ Penn State Looking ahead, Tuesday DK already has out one of their biggest slates of the year and this one features the annual State Farm Champions Classic. Kentucky and Michigan State will be the early game followed by Duke and Kansas. That slate will also feature Marquette/Purdue
Friday Fun! 8-Game Slate Kickoff Weekend
Happy Friday Bucketheads! We have an 8-game slate tonight with a $3,000 award for the first place finisher. Yeah CBB tourneys aren't where we would like to see them, but who wouldn't want an extra $3k in their pocket this weekend? We have got all the plays outlined for you below. For those of you who are new to our brand I want to level set a bit. As you found out last night we don't always go 3-0 in PrizePicks, but last year we hit at a 60% clip and will continue to provide you 3 names and hope for continued success. We are also hit or miss on Fridays. Traditionally in non-con action Friday's aren't that bad as
Will the Heater Continue?
It is Thursday Bucketheads, and we have 9-games on the slate tonight. Nine is also the number of PrizePicks we have nailed to open the season after 3-0 showings on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If you played $20 Power Play Each day you would be up $240! We'll try to make 12-0 today, but last season we only had 9-0 runs twice throughout the year. So the other shoe is bound to drop and eventually we'll look stupid. We also scooped the BetUS Play of the Day moving to 2-1. And of course, DFS content was ?which you need as cash lines continue to end up around 300! As we glance at today's slate, we have 6 players over 10K today.
