DraftKings Pick6 Entry: Our Best Picks for NFL Week 9 Sunday

Are you looking for another way to get in on the football gaming action this season, but not interested in trying to "beat the books?"

Look no further than one of DraftKings' latest offerings, Pick6 where new users looking to capitalize on this growing player in the fantasy contest space can secure $50 in credits by playing their first $5.

DraftKings Pick6 is a peer-to-peer Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) contest where participants create lineups of 2 to 6 athletes and predict whether they'll exceed specific statistical projections during real-world events.

The goal is to make more correct picks than other participants in the contest, with winning entries sharing in the prize pool. Players can track their picks live on desktop or mobile devices and compete for cash prizes based on their accuracy.

All Pick6 contests are $1 entry contests. Each $1 represents a single entry into a contest and each entry is competing for a share of the contest's total prizes. For example, $10 in entry fees is equal to 10 entries for your selected Pick Set.

Pick6 contest entries are scored based on the number of correct picks selections made by the participants. A portion of the total prize pool for each contest is pre-assigned to entries with a certain number of correct picks. Winning entries receive an even share of the prizes as described in each contest’s prize table. The fewer total winning entries in a contest, the larger the prize for each winning entry.

Dimers' Picks For Your DraftKings Pick6 Contests in NFL Week 9

You can create entries for DraftKings Pick using 2-6 players. We've hit the sweet spot right in the middle with our four recommendations for today's game.

Pick 1:  Kirk Cousins 250.5 Passing Yards: MORE

Kirk Cousins is coming off one of his best games of the season with 276 passing yards and 4 touchdowns. The Falcons play the Cowboys in Week 9, and while they're more susceptible to the run, our model projects Cousins for 265 passing yards on Sunday.

Pick 2: Javonte Williams 36.5 Rushing Yards: MORE

After a slow start to the season, Williams has cleared this in four of his past five games, with double-digit carries in each of those. We're projecting Williams for 52 rushing yards against a tough Ravens defense.

Pick 3: Michael Pittman 53.5 Receiving Yards: MORE

It's been an up-and-down year for Pittman with Anthony Richardson under center, but now that Joe Flacco is the starter in Indy, things could be trending up for the fifth-year wideout. DimersBOT projects Pittman for a strong 73-yard performance vs. the Vikings.

Pick 4: Jalen Hurts 0.5 Rush+Rec TDs: MORE

The Eagles QB has scored five rushing TDs over the past two weeks and seven on the year. If the Eagles get near the goalline, he'll get some of his patented "tush push" looks. We give him a 55.1% TD probability, one of our highest of the day.

Rules, Scoring and Prizes

Please see the below excerpt from DraftKings' Pick6 Contest Rules:

Pick6 contest entries are scored based on the number of correct picks selections made by the participants. A portion of the total prize pool for each contest is pre-assigned to entries with a certain number of correct picks. Winning entries receive an even share of the prizes as described in each contest’s prize table. The fewer total winning entries in a contest, the larger the prize for each winning entry.  

For example, a 5-Pick NFL contest with a $10,000 total prize pool may have the following prize structure:

• 5/5 Correct Splits $8,000
• 4/5 Correct Splits $2,000

In this example, if the contest ended with 320 entries having 5/5 correct, each entry would win $25 ($8,000 / 320 = $25). If you had 2 entries in the contest among the 320 winning entries, your total prizes for that contest would be $50 ($25 x 2 = $50). 

Note that this is just one example and not a guarantee of any contest payout. Read DraftKings' full breakdown of their rules, scoring and prize payouts here.
