Picks

The Beatdown staff, though underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook, are the unanimous favorite for the Beatdown gang. It’s a bit surprising to see the entire staff all lean toward the road underdogs on a short week against a tough defense and a question mark at QB for health, but there’s confidence in the group.
