Fanvest’s W11 Preview
Welcome to Weekly! Beat the market through investing in winners.
Pricing Tiers
It’s all about value. Below you’ll find the pricing tiers based on share price and return, or the amount of fanbucks ($FBX) you’d receive upon a win:
- Blue Chip: Share Price > $FBX 80 (Return < 1.25x)
- Large Favorite: Share Price $FBX 60 — $FBX 80 (Return 1.7x — 1.25x)
- Small Favorite: Share Price $FBX 50 — $FBX 60 (Return 2x — 1.7x)
- Small Underdog: Share Price $FBX 40 — $FBX 50 (Return 2.5x — 2x)
- Big Underdog: Share Price $FBX 25 — $FBX 40 (Return 4x — 2.5x)
- ‘Dog of the Week’: Share Price < $FBX 25 (Return > 4x)
Example: 1 Share of CIN purchased at $FBX 30.30 would increase to $FBX 100 upon a win, a return of (100/30.30 = 3.3x)
The Fanvest Five
Each week our team of analysts will select their five favorite plays of the week and the record will be tracked in this article.
MIN saved a catastrophic showing in Week 10, but a 1–4 week puts a serious dent in our YTD return.
We’re hunting for value again in W11 with four underdogs and one favorite.
Sunday 1:00pm: Tennessee Titans ($FBX 29.98) @ Baltimore Ravens
TEN has proven multiple times over that they are one of the best teams in the AFC. In what should be a close game against BAL, TEN is shaping up as one of the best overall value plays of W11.
Sunday 1pm: Green Bay Packers ($FBX 43.22) @ Baltimore Ravens
Aaron Rodgers at an opening price under $FBX 50 is always a great deal. The Packers have a great chance to show they are the best team in the league, so expect a fired-up GB team in this one. IND has a solid defense, but we’ve seen time and time again that nobody can stop the Rodgers-Adams connection.
Sunday 4:05pm: Arizona Cardinals ($FBX 38.24) @ Seattle Seahawks
Kyler Murray is playing at an MVP level, but so is SEA QB Russell Wilson. With a minimal disparity between QBs, it’s typically wise to take the underdog. At an opening price around $FBX 40, the potential ROI is hard to ignore for fanvestors willing to fade Russell Wilson.
Sunday 4:25pm: Cincinnati Bengals ($FBX 44.99) @ Washington Football Team
The Bengals have managed to put together a talented offense despite one of the league’s worst o-lines. With the greatest strength of WSH being their defensive front, CIN will once again need to keep the pressure off Burrow to run away with this game.
Sunday 8:20pm: Kansas City Chiefs ($FBX 70.02) @ Las Vegas Raiders
Don’t let KC’s loss to the Raiders earlier this year fool you, Mahomes is not losing multiple games to Derek Carr. By far the best team in the league, it’s fair to assume KC will pull every trick in the book to avoid getting swept by the Raiders.
