Saturday Slate Rundown 📝

The NFL regular season is in the rearview and the playoffs have officially arrived! We’ve got six games loaded up across the Wild Card round -- Saturday will feature a two-game doubleheader between the Rams at the Panthers and the Packers at the Bears. Sunday will host three games (BUF at JAX, SF at PHI, LAC at NE) before we get to the final Wild Card game on Monday night (HOU at PIT).

On the DFS front, there is a Saturday-thru-Monday slate that will include all six games. However, the larger and more lucrative DFS contests are posted for the two-game slate on Saturday, the three games on Sunday, and the single-game on Monday. So, those are the slates that we’ll focus on individually. As for the content you can expect: for this two-game Saturday slate, we’ll put together a little cheat sheet newsletter. Then we’ll roll out a mini main slate newsletter (releases tomorrow) for Sunday’s three-gamer, and wrap things up on Monday with a “Primetime Preview” single-game newsletter.

Also, be on the lookout for Tyler’s DFS and prop betting videos on the LineStar YouTube channel! His recommended props can be found on the YouTube shorts page.

Without further ado, let’s get into this Saturday doubleheader! Best of luck!

Saturday Matchups & Game Info

Weather Report 🌨️

• LAR at CAR (4:30 ET, 45.5 O/U): Rain is in the forecast, but it looks more intermittent than a steady, all-game downpour. Expect some rain with scattered showers possible during the game, along with 10–15 mph winds.

• GB at CHI (8:00 ET, 44.5 O/U): Snow flurries are possible, but wind is the bigger concern here. Sustained winds should sit in the 15–20 mph range with gusts pushing around 30 mph, which could impact the kicking and deep passing games.

Stacks & Bring Backs 🥞

Below are a few team/game stack ideas to consider for this slate. In some examples, I will include a “bring back” option which will feature a normal "QB + Receiver" stack along with a player from the opposing team in the same game that could also benefit should the primary "QB + Receiver" stack go off.

QB + WR/TE + Opp Receiver (Game Stack)

Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Christian Watson

QB + Two Pass Catchers (Double Stack)

Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams

QB + Two Pass Catchers (Double Stack)

Jordan Love, Christian Watson, Jayden Reed

Full Team Stack - QB/WR-or-TE/RB

Matthew Stafford, Colby Parkinson, Kyren Williams

Contrarian QB/WR/TE Double Stack

Bryce Young, Jalen Coker, Tommy Tremble

“Ugly Duckling Game Stack” | QB + Low-Owned WR + Low-Owned Opp WR

Bryce Young, Xavier Legette, Tyler Higbee
