We are almost through the greatest 50 days of the year for any football fan. October 8 was the first of 50 consecutive days of either FBS or NFL football. What a time to be alive! For all of the evil things the Mouse does, one thing that is right about all of this is ESPN gobbling up the TV rights to Conference USA, the Fun Belt, and the MAC.
A wonderful byproduct of this is more college football DFS. Sign me up! We are in the last full week of MACtion this week since they take the Wednesday before Thanksgiving off. All three games start at the same time tonight, which leads to a frenzied four hours. I love it! We have Toledo hitting the road and heading to Bowling Green (Ohio). Western Michigan heads over to DeKalb. We have the Turnover Tires on a battleship-gray field in Ypsilanti. How cool is that?
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/14/23, locking at 7 PM Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, aiming to highlight one option at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.
College Football Betting Picks For November 14
I don't have the full odds article done yet, so we are just going to do this here. That's what Tuesday games do to me. You know the drill!
Akron at Eastern Michigan (-4.5)
Betting Confidence Factor: 3
I don't buy this. I won't even rent it. No part of me thinks the Eagles are better than Akron right now. Give me the Roos.
Toledo (-9.5) at Bowling Green
Betting Confidence Factor: 2
This line has dropped below 10 already. That was kind of the magic number for me, so it makes this pick a lot tougher. The Falcons have been good at home. Toledo has Peny Boone. Give me Toledo, but I don't trust it.
Western Michigan at Northern Illinois (-4.5)
Betting Confidence Factor: 3
Kenneth Womack is a force for the Broncos, but the NIU defense was better last week. Both teams need this to keep their slim bowl hopes alive. I really like the look of the Western Michigan offense of late. I'll take the Broncos.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Hayden Wolff, Western Michigan ($6,900)
The Broncos' offense has been much better with Wolff running it. They have scored 83 points in the last two games alone! Wolff has been a big part of that, tossing four touchdowns and racking up 502 passing yards. I do wonder if the improvement of the NIU defense last week had more to do with Ball State's offense than the NIU defense. I'm willing to stack up on Broncos to find out, especially at their price points.
Jeff Undercuffler, Akron ($5,700)
It's hard to look back to Undercuffler with as bad as the Akron offense looked last week. The Redhawks have a strong defense though. Eastern Michigan was rolled by DeQuan Finn and Toledo last week. Undercuffler isn't Finn, but he is similar in the fact that he's a pocket passer. Undercuffler also seems to be the most stable quarterback behind Wolff on this slate. Bowling Green still uses two quarterbacks and Eastern Michigan should do more than they do.
Also consider: DeQuan Finn, Toledo ($8,800)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Peny Boone, Toledo ($7,700)
Eastern Michigan committed everything they had to stop the run last game with some success. Boone only ran for 52 yards on 11 carries. The bad news is that he scored three touchdowns. The really bad news is that he had 116 receiving yards. The moral of the story is that even if a team figures out how to contain Boone, he is still very productive. To me, that is worth paying a premium for.
Samson Evans, Eastern Michigan ($5,500)
Evans has been losing work to Jayl0n Jackson. That's not going to stop anytime soon. In fact, if Evans hadn't thrown a touchdown against Toledo, he would have been a fantasy disaster. The Eagles should find plenty of running room against Akron where they couldn't break through against Toledo's stout run defense. Both backs should see enough work to be productive. I'll save some money with Evans, but both he and Jackson are good options.
Also consider: Jalen Buckley, Western Michigan ($7,500); Antario Brown, Northern Illinois (6,700); Jaison Patterson, Bowling Green ($3,800; if both Ta'ron Keith and Terion Stewart are out)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Trayvon Rudolph, Northern Illinois ($6,500)
Rudolph had another productive day against Ball State. He also racked up a season-high 69 rushing yards in that game. Rudolph is the most dynamic player in the NIU offense. Even if Rocky Lombardi struggles to get him the ball, the Huskies have shown a willingness to do so by any means necessary. If they want the ball in Rudolph's hands that badly, I want him in my DFS lineups.
Kenneth Womack, Western Michigan ($6,100)
Womack has at least a dozen receptions in three of the last five games. NIU's pass defense has been better than advertised lately, so a ceiling game may not be in the cards. However, you are hard-pressed to find this kind of volume anywhere else. Womack is a lock in cash games right now.
Jasaiah Gathings, Akron ($4,600)
Someone has finally stepped up for Akron at quarterback with D.J. Irons out. A lot of Undercuffler's success is thanks to Gathings. Gathings has 16 receptions for 172 yards and a touchdown in the last two games alone. Considering that Gathings still had success in an offensive disaster against Miami of Ohio, he seems trustworthy in any matchup. He is too cheap for the recent production.
Also consider: Jerjuan Newton, Toledo ($7,100); Harold Fannin, Bowling Green ($5,100); Tanner Knue, Eastern Michigan ($4,600); Devin Maddox, Toledo ($4,300)
DraftKings CFB Stacks:
Akron
Eastern Michigan has allowed 94 points in the last two games alone. Akron's offense isn't as potent as Toledo's, but it's pretty close to Western Michigan's on a good day and is certainly not priced like it. Undercuffler and Jasaiah Gathings are a great 1-2 punch. Drake Anderson is worth a look if Lorenzo Lingard can't go. I like Lingard as well, but if I'm playing that much, I'd rather just use Daniel George as part of the passing stack and leave it at that. There is a big upside for Anderson if he is the starter at his current price.
Also consider: Toledo, Eastern Michigan
