Underdog Pick 'Em Week 21

Dan Hindery's Underdog Pick 'Em Week 21 Dan Hindery Published 01/25/2024

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 20 REVIEW

  • Overall Picks (4-2, 124-101-2 on the season)
  • Overall Units (+5.5, +27.5 Units on the season)

(1-2, -1 Unit) Texans-Ravens 7.5X Lamar Jackson (1.5) threw two touchdown passes. However, C.J. Stroud (1.5) was unable to throw any touchdowns against the stifling Ravens defense. Zay Flowers (47.5) came up a bit short of his receiving yardage prop with 41 yards.

(3-0, +6.5 Units) Buccaneers-Lions 7.5X We felt both teams would have a lot of success through the air, and that is how things played out. Jahmyr Gibbs (3.0 receptions) had four catches for 40 yards. Cade Otton (3.0 receptions) had five catches for 65 yards and a touchdown. Mike Evans (69.5 receiving yards) had eight catches for 147 yards and a touchdown.
