Week 9 2023 DraftKings picks — Pickard’s ‘pick-six’

“Recipe for success: Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.” – William A. Ward.

Que the Bon Jovi because we are halfway there. The time is nigh to break Week 9 open, and we will attack it differently. I will give my favorite six picks in various forms this week. I will spread the assault and show you my DraftKings, over/under, picks against the spread, and player props selections.

Repetitive betting can be daunting if you only do one specific thing all season. Let’s have some fun this week and explore new avenues. We have half a season remaining, and we want to build that bankroll to finish strong.
