Wild Card Sunday: Fantasy & Gambling Preview
Who should you be targeting in fantasy on Sunday and where should you be placing your bets? We’ve got you covered.
Fantasy Preview 👑
Ravens (-3; O/U 54.5) vs. Titans
Can the Ravens and Lamar Jackson break their mini playoff slump? The Titans took out the Ravens last season. The Titans offense is electric, but their defense has really been terrible of late. Will the Ravens be able to take advantage? Baltimore has to get out to an early lead. I expect a shootout here.
One to Start: JK Dobbins
The Titans defense has been really bad recently and Dobbins is on the cusp of a major breakout game. I think this is it.
One to Sit: AJ Brown
The Ravens are going to try to stop Derrick Henry first and AJ Brown second. If the Titans get behind and are forced to throw, look for Ryan Tannehill to be forced into feeding Corey Davis.

Bears vs. Saints (-10; O/U 47.5)
Do you need to take a nap? Ok, well this one looks like a good time for a snooze on the couch. The Saints should roll. Can Mitch Trubisky make it interesting with his legs? That’s what the Bears are going to need.
One to Start: Michael Thomas
Yes, the Saints offense runs through Alvin Kamara. However, Thomas should be well rested and gets a decent matchup. I think he finally see the 2019 version of Thomas on Sunday.
One to Sit: David Montgomery
The Saints are going to focus on stopping the running game first. Bad news for Monty.
Browns vs. Steelers (-6; O/U 47.5)
In a rematch of last weeks game, the Steelers host the Browns on Sunday Night. Can the Browns take 2 in a row, even without their head coach? They have the offense to give the Steelers some trouble if Baker Mayfield can get off quick passes and the run game gets going with Nick Chubb. However, the Steelers are at full strength, while the Browns are dealing with COVID issues. Can Pittsburgh take advantage?
One to Start: Dionte Johnson
Johnson is going to see a TON of targets. I think he’s going to have a big game.
One to Sit: Jarvis Landry
There’s going to be a ton of pressure on Baker Mayfield. That’s not good news for his top target, especially against Pittsburgh.

🏆 Fantasy For Good
As we at Champions Round unveil our newest product, Seven Stakes, we wanted to make sure we were also contributing to the community and using our platform for good. Sure, we all love fantasy sports and the occasional wager, but this is a particularly important year to give back and help out our brothers and sisters in need.
So here’s the deal: The LEAGUE that scores the most total points in our Seven Stakes contest will have a donation made by Champions Round to the charity of the league’s choosing. We will donate $1,000 in their names.
Yes, the goal of Seven Stakes is to beat your league mates. However, if you’re out of the running, you can still cheer on bets all the way through the Super Bowl. We love crowning champions, but we can help uplift some folks along the way. That’s ultimately what we’re all about.
