Episode notes
Shop Low Totals And Consider Mineshafts
- Shop totals aggressively in low-scoring matchups like Vikings vs. Browns; Brandon recommends under 36.5 at DraftKings.
- Consider extreme "mineshaft" legs (e.g., under 27.5) for long-shot value when international totals collapse.
Low International Totals Behave Differently
- Defensive matchups and injuries create unique low-total environments, especially overseas.
- Historical low-international totals often finish extremely low; many sub-37 games end 30 or below.
Exploit Tampa Injuries, Back Seattle
- Take Seattle moneyline or buy the spread when Tampa Bay arrives banged up; Brandon prefers Seahawks -3 and an alternate -9.5 +215.
- Exploit Tampa's injuries and Seattle's top special teams unit and rest advantage from playing earlier in the week.
