- MyBookie is offering four Wild Card Fantasy Football bets
- Ezekiel Elliott has failed to eclipse his projection just once in his last seven games
- Which bets offer the best value?
The Fantasy football season may be over, but that doesn't mean you have to let all the knowledge you collected over the past 17 weeks go to waste.
MyBookie is rolling out a tasty four pack of fantasy football bets for the Wild Card slate that we can definitely take advantage of.
2 touchdowns. 187 total yards.

But before we dive into the action, let's briefly look at how MyBookie's scoring system works:
- Pass Yds = 1 pt per 25 yds, Pass TD = 4 pts, Pass INT = -2 pts
- Rush Yds = 1 pt per 10 yds, Rush TD = 6 pts, Fumble = -2 pts
- Rec Yds = 1 pt per 10 yds, Rec TD = 6 pts, Rec = 1 pt
- 2-Point Conversion: 2 pts
- Decimals ≥ 0.5 round up, < 0.5 round down
The key takeaway here is that it's treated like a PPR league, rewarding a point for every reception, which greatly increases someone like Ezekiel Elliott's median projection – more on him later.
Andrew Luck O/U 20.5 Fantasy Points
Player (Pos) | Opponent | Projected fantasy pts at MyBookie | Opp rank vs QB | Fantasy PPG |
---|---|---|---|---|
Andrew Luck (QB) | HOU | 20.5 (O -190 / U +145) | 14th | 21.4 |
*All odds taken 1/5; find them under “Fantasy Betting” at MyBookie
The Texans are a pass funnel team, ranking 2nd in DVOA against the run compared to 16th in DVOA against the pass.
Andrew Luck has seen this exact matchup twice already this season and hit for 35 points in Week 4 and 25 points in Week 14.

The Colts pass at the highest percentage among teams on the Wild Card slate and Luck feasts on cover 2 schemes like Houston employs, ranking third in the league in expected points added against that coverage.
Pick: OVER 20.5 (-190)
Deshaun Watson O/U 21 Fantasy Points
Player (Pos) | Opponent | Projected fantasy pts at MyBookie | Opp rank vs QB | Fantasy PPG |
---|---|---|---|---|
Deshaun Watson (QB) | Indianapolis Colts | 21 (O -140 / U +100) | 12th | 21.3 |
Similar to Luck, this is a matchup Watson has already face twice this season, exploding for 32 points in their first meeting, but scoring just 18 in their second game.
The Colts are a sneaky tough matchup as they allow the second-fewest catches and yards to opposing wideouts.
No team forces a shallower average depth of target than Indy, and Watson will have pressure in his face all game.

Pick: UNDER 21 (+100)
Russell Wilson O/U 18 Fantasy Points
Player (Pos) | Opponent | Projected fantasy pts at MyBookie | Opp rank vs QB | Fantasy PPG |
---|---|---|---|---|
Russell Wilson (QB) | Dallas Cowboys | 18 (O -135 / U -105) | 9th | 19.1 |
The Seahawks run the ball at the highest rate in the NFL, forcing Russell Wilson to be ultra efficient when he gets a chance to throw.
Wilson topped 31 pass attempts only once in the final 14 games of the season, and was held under 27 attempts nine times.

The matchup isn't great, as Dallas allows just 18.5 points per game at home, and while Russ has the talent to exceed his projection on low volume, I prefer to bet on opportunity rather than efficiency.
Pick: UNDER 18 (-135)
Ezekiel Elliott O/U 19.5 Fantasy points
Player (Pos) | Opponent | Projected fantasy pts at MyBookie | Opp rank vs RB | Fantasy PPG |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ezekiel Elliott (RB) | Seattle Seahawks | 19.5 (O -175 / U +135) | 21sh | 21.9 |
After resting in Week 17, Elliott is primed for a massive workload as a home favorite.
He's averaging 25 touches per game this season, and has at least five catches in seven straight. These receptions are so valuable in PPR formats and are not factored heavily enough into MyBookie's line.

Seattle has allowed the third most receptions to running backs and we can safely project Zeke for 18+ carries, making this is a home run spot.
Pick: OVER 19.5 (-175)
