Before we get into the specifics of this matchup and how to approach it for the DraftKings showdown slate, I want to point people back to a few pieces of evergreen content that I think are extremely valuable if you’re serious about winning showdown all season. I’d recommend reading/listening to this content before proceeding, especially if you’re new to showdown.

Game Outlook

Gambling on Week 14’s Thursday Night “Football” experience won’t be for the faint of heart. Circling the drain at 2-10, the Patriots will travel to the Steel City with a TWELVE point team total in a game that features Week 14’s lowest game total . Hey, after Zappe and the boys scored the same number of points as you last week, I’d gladly welcome double digit points from Bill Belichick’s team.
