Thor Nystrom’s Week 0 College Football PrizePicks Player Predictions (2023)
Every week during the college football season, PrizePicks is the first to put out lines for player projections. And each week, I am among the first to log in and hammer the mistake lines. While most sportsbooks don’t release their player props until late Friday evening, PrizePicks drops their projections earlier in the week. This creates a unique opportunity to identify value at PrizePicks and earmark props to keep an eye on come Friday and Saturday. These first few weeks offer some of the best opportunities while PrizePicks and the sportsbooks gather data and adjust their projections.
Here are the Week 0 PrizePicks plays I’m most confident in.
