Underdog Pick 'Em Week 13

Dan Hindery's Underdog Pick 'Em Week 13 Dan Hindery Published 12/01/2023

Underdog's Fantasy Pick ‘Em is a fun way to test our predictive abilities against the market. The two keys to success are selecting the best players to target and leveraging correlations to improve our odds. You play Pick 'Em by simply choosing 'Higher' or 'Lower' on at least two player props. If you make the right selection, here's the payout structure:

  • Two picks = 3X
  • Three picks = 6X
  • Four picks = 10X
  • Five picks = 20X

In this weekly article, we will list our favorite plays of the week and the reasoning behind them.

Week 12 Review

Overall Picks (5-5 on the week, 86-72-1 on the season)
Overall Units (-3 last week, +18 Units on the season)

Eagles-Bills 10X (-1 Unit, 1-3) Allen (260.5) easily topped his passion yardage prop, throwing for 339 yards. However, Stefon Diggs (75.5) came up just short of his receiving prop (74 receiving yards), and Dalton Kincaid (49.5) also came up short (38 receiving yards). On the other side, D'Andre Swift (15.5) had only four receiving yards.

Jaguars-Texans 6X (-1 Unit, 2-1) We were a Tank Dell (61.5 receiving yards) calf injury away from an easy win here. Dell had 50 receiving yards in the first half, plus he had a long gain ruled incomplete and a 62-yard catch brought back due to illegal motion. His injury led to him having zero catches in the second half. Both quarterbacks flew past their passing yardage overs. Trevor Lawrence (253.5) threw for 364, and C.J. Stroud (271.5) threw for 304. It was just some bad luck with Dell that cost us here.

Saints-Falcons 6X (-1 Unit, 2-1) More rotten injury luck. Bijan Robinson (59.5) rushed for 91 yards. Taysom Hill (19.5) rushed for 26. We just needed more than 37.5 receiving yards from Rashid Shaheed. He was targeted 5 times early in the game but was injured with five minutes left in the first half and never returned.

Lessons learned: It feels like we were on the right side of things in two of our three Pick ‘Ems. But for some bad injury luck, it would have been a +9 Unit week.
