This article is part of our College Football DFS: Night Slate series.
DraftKings' night slate and FanDuel's After Hours offering differ slightly, and we'll focus on the three games they have in common. I'll give a nod to the unique games independent of my primary recommendations.
SLATE OVERVIEW
Louisiana Tech @ Southern Miss (-5.5) O/U: 58.5
Miami @ Louisville (-2.5) O/U: 64.5
Wake Forest @ North Carolina State
(+1) O/U: 53.0
Texas State @ Louisiana-Monroe
(+6.5) O/U: 62 (DRAFTKINGS ONLY)
Abiilene-Christian @ UTEP (-4.5) O/U: 54 (DRAFTKINGS ONLY)
SMU @ North Texas (+13.5) O/U: 69 (FANDUEL ONLY)
The Miami-Louisville matchup has the second-highest and should also be competitive, so it's a game we are likely to target heavily. I wouldn't rule out the SMU-North Texas game either, as both teams are capable of airing it out.
QUARTERBACK
Micale Cunningham, Louisville (DK $7,700, FD $9,900) vs. Miami
Cunningham is a no-braainer QB pick for this slate. Although Trevor Lawrence is the current frontrunner for the Heisman, Cunningham is in the conversation as well, although he lacks the hype of a former Cardinal named Lamar. After a successful 2019 campaign, Cunningham tossed for 341 yards and three toiuchdowns against Western Kentucky. The Hurricanes defense held UAB to 14 points last week, but this is a much stiffer test.
Sam Hartman, Wake Forest (DK $6,300, FD $8,000) @ NC State
Hartman was squelched by the Clemson defense last week, so I wouldn't use his performance last week as a reliable metric. Jamie Newman left the program for a reason - aside from the
