    What is the better boost?
    Two intriguing odds boosts on the board today from DraftKings and FanDuel. Let's take a look at each:

    DraftKings: Travis Kelce & Derrick Henry to combine for 2+ TD's boosted from -125 to +125.



    With the Chiefs going up against the Raiders' defense and a total in the 50's, I think Kelce is a pretty safe bet for a TD today (-130 to -180 anytime TD). I would normally say the same for Henry (-120 to -130 anytime TD). However, with Dobbs at the helm for the Titans, red zone opportunities may be few and far between for King Henry to punch one in.


    FanDuel: Patrick Mahomes pass for 300+ yards & Chiefs win vs Raiders boosted from -115 to +150



    This one seems a little more attractive, as there is some correlation to the outcomes. The Chiefs need to win to secure the #1 seed in the AFC and are between -400 and -450 on the moneyline. Mahomes O/U passing yards is between 324.5 & 331.5 depending on the book.


    I lean towards the FanDuel boost between the two. Which one do you guys prefer? DK, FD, both, or neither?

        i don't think either one is anything close to a free gift, but they are still decent

        mahomes over/under is 324.5 so you're essentially getting a free 25 yards there

        i could argueit's somewhat correlated, and i could also argue it isn't correlated... chiefs could go up big and run the ball, they are probably winning anyway so is it correlated?

        i think i like the draftkings one better, since it's a small amount anyway, and because you get action in both games, unless you already have a win from game 1

        would definitely play both though

          Both are worth playing. What is the max bet for these boosts?

            Ya good point on the FD boost. You're hoping the Raiders score 20+ and stay within striking distance.

              They both list max bet as $50. But as we've seen, that varies by state and account. Let us know how much you were able to get down.

                2 months turkey day nov 24th online at nephews house i chose longshot recevier nelson agholor of patriots i didn't know he had not caught td pass since week 2 i remember him as member of eagles who won the SB his odds were +750 $10 bet boom i win $95 and Pats lost the game and spread @ vikings as a 2.5 dog lost 34 - 26 won the early games also dog lions and overs p lay

                giants line was too much for cow boys so i took +11 they lost by 8 28-20 hit any time td scorers 3 of them

                elliot barkley and my nephew told me to take shultz of c boys he had him in his fantasy plays for $$

                after he scored i handed him $5 cash he turned it down of course

                    Most of these are close to true odds it is the same thing when a store like Costco or Sam's Club has something at cost they know in the long run it will make them money.

                      i would rather mahomes and the chiefs win. he also wants to win the passing yards record.
