Welcome everybody to Fantasy football today DFS. This is our last show of this season. Of course we're going to be doing stuff in the off season, but Mike we've got the Super Bowl on board here.

And as everybody knows, this is a very bittersweet week for me. Sunday's going to be very bittersweet, but we have a really exciting game with most likely the two best teams in the NFL.

A little italicizing there, but listen, Kansas City is amazing. Philadelphia Eagles are amazing. And we have a high total. We have a very competitive game, you know, at least in terms of how the spread looks.

And we've got showdown to talk about. So how excited are you? I know when I asked you last show, you referenced how, hey, listen, you're not going to the Super Bowl. You're staying home because you're interested in winning a million dollars this week. How you feeling about it?

Yeah, I'm feeling all right about it. Obviously it's you'd be lying if you said you thought you were going to win the other contest. It's very, very difficult to take down a showdown contest of the size. It's a one game slate, obviously.

But it is a great opportunity. You know, the press points are reasonable out there to play for a million dollars. And, you know, the coverage as far as only needing to cover one game versus a full slate.

I think it's an interesting opportunity. So definitely fired up about it. Yeah, very unique opportunity to make some money.

Well, one thing I want to remind people of a couple of things here. One is our fantasy football today, DFS draft King's contest is live. It's about half full. So we still got some time to fill this thing up. It's only $5 is everybody know it's 200 people deep. So get into this last Super Bowl showdown contest.

But the other thing is we're going to talk about showdown today. We're going to kind of construct some lines. I think we're going to do it a little different than most shows. We're going to talk about some of the captains that Mike likes in particular in terms of the captains he's going to be using the optimal captains for him.

And we're just going to talk about well, if you have that captain. What's the game script that follows what what's the lineup that follows. And so I think that's what we did last. It would have been last Tuesday.

I think that show was really important. If you go back to last Tuesday and I'll remind everybody. It would be the or it's probably last Thursday. Excuse me, but it would have been the 23 minute mark. I said this when we had prop stars on. That's evergreen content. I really think if you want to learn how to play showdown. You got to listen to last Thursday again seven days ago.

And so that episode where we talk about some of the showdown theory and Mike, I thought really laid it out, especially when it comes to game script. It's one thing to have a game script. It's another thing to know who to put into your lineup as a result of that game script. And I think that's where there's some disconnect where where people think they know who to put in because of the game script.

But kind of they really don't they make mistakes. And I thought we really did a good job laying that out. So I highly encourage everybody. We might even chop that up and just, you know, make it its own episode in the off season. So people can really appreciate and understand how to play showdown. So we're going to do a little bit of that here.

And so I just want to remind everybody Mike.

Just some fundamentals of showdown. Listen, I don't want to cover everything we've already done that. But as we sort of get into your favorite captains, your favorite flex plays. What are some of the fundamentals of showdown just bullet points that we really need to focus in on as we make our lineups for the Super Bear.

Yeah, so I think that's one thing that stands out majorly in this is you don't have to use all the salary. That that's one of the easiest ways to reduce the number of lineups that you're going to be duplicated with is going to be to not use all $50,000 of salary under actions.

So that's one thing. Number two, I just building lineups that makes sense, right. So build for a game script. Don't build lineups using a projection set. If you're just looking at a player's medium projection.

While you can get away with building lineups using medium projection for a full slate, typically players do on average, come in close to where their medium projection is.

That is when you're picking one player or two players from a specific game, you know, across the league. Now you were forced to build a lineup from everyone in the same game.

It's no different than when you're on the sports running side building a same game parlay. You need to think through how you build those because certain things are obviously positively and negatively correlated.

So you really need to think through the lineup that you're entering and, you know, at least be able to justify some of the paths to victory there.

Absolutely. And when it comes to, I want to ask you how you think this game is going to go in terms of who's going to win. When it comes to game script and when it comes to outcomes.
