DraftKings Price: $8,100
Projected Points: 25.90

The Green Bay Packers are traveling to face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 5. Currently, the Packers are 2.0 point road underdogs with an implied team total of 25.00 points.

The Cowboys' defense has allowed opposing quarterbacks to score 18.8 points per game on DraftKings (10th-most) and could be in big trouble against Aaron Rodgers and friends. With a lack of healthy running back options, Rodgers could be called upon to carry the load early and often.

Rodgers has attempted the third-most passes in the NFL (160), including the fourth-most red zone passes (24). His 1,146 passing yards rank third, and he is tied for first in the NFL with 10 passing touchdowns.

Using game theory, which is the practice of scripting out believable scenarios of how a game will play out, has its place in DFS. If we theorize that Packers could choose to move the offense through the air and replace the running game with short passes, Rodgers could have an uptick in both red zone attempts and overall passing attempts, possibly leading to a higher DraftKings score than his projected 25.90 points.
