We have a two-game MACtion slate again tonight. It is my wedding anniversary, so I won't be watching the games with you tonight. However, I will still be tilting in DFS, so not all is lost.
Both games start at the same time, so we have a fast and furious four hours to see who wins. Ohio is in Kent to take on the Flashes, who might be the worst FBS team. Northern Illinois heads to Kalamazoo to take on the Broncos. It's MACtion, and it will make your November more fun!
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy college football lineup picks for DraftKings on 11/6/24, locking at 7 p.m. Eastern. I’ll provide multiple player suggestions for players at quarterback, running back, and wide receiver, aiming to highlight one option at the high, middle, and lower end of the salary scale. Good luck, RotoBallers.

College Football Betting Picks - November 6
Since we have DFS slates this week and not just single-game showdowns, I'll add the betting picks here instead of posting them on X. It's one-stop shopping again this week!
Ohio (-17.5) at Kent State
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 3
You know, this spread could be 27.5 and I would still take Ohio. Kent is that bad.
Northern Illinois at Western Michigan (-1.5)
Betting Pick Confidence Factor: 2
We are now in the territory of "how in the hell did that team beat Notre Dame" for NIU. Give me the Broncos.
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Quarterbacks
Parker Navarro, Ohio ($8K)
Who says Ohio can't develop quarterbacks? Just look at what Kurtis Rourke is doing for Indiana this year. What Navarro lacks in passing, he makes up for in rushing, and he's taking on one of the worst defenses that we've ever seen. This is a smash spot for Navarro and the Bobcats.
HALFTIME: Ohio 24, Buffalo 10
Ohio’s highest scoring half of the season. 10/13, 163 yard half for Parker Navarro. 135 of those yards and 2 TD went to Coleman Owen.
— Hustle Belt (@HustleBelt) October 26, 2024
Navarro and his favorite receiver did that in a half against a decent Buffalo team. What are they going to do to a bad Kent team?
Hayden Wolff, Western Michigan ($5.8K)
While the Broncos are mostly a running team, the nice numbers that Wolff has put up get lost in the shuffle. Wolff has 11 touchdowns to just one interception over the last four games while averaging 236 passing yards per game. He's too cheap for that kind of production.
Also consider: Tommy Ulatowski, Kent State ($7.8K); Ethan Hampton, Northern Illinois ($6K)

DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Running Backs
Jaden Nixon, Western Michigan ($6.7K)
Top 2023/2024 transfer all-purpose yards leaders (FBS)
1. Brashard Smith (SMU): 1,125
2. Jaden Nixon (WMU): 1,088
3. DT Sheffield (UNT): 1,056
4. Woody Marks (USC): 989
5. Mario Anderson (Memphis): 986
6. Desmond Reid (Pitt): 961
7. Jonah Coleman (Wash): 910@mfarrellsports— FarrellPortal (@farrellportal) October 30, 2024
I don't like running guys at the NIU defense, either, but you don't compile those stats without being the focal point of the offense or getting a ton of touches. This is a dangerous fade based on the volume that Nixon sees in competitive games.
Rickey Hunt Jr., Ohio ($5K)
This is a game that Ohio should win handily, so I'll be surprised if Anthony Tyus III returns from his injury here. It would make far more sense for the Bobcats to hold Tyus out another week, especially in a game where he shouldn't be needed. That opens the door for a huge game for Hunt.
Also consider: Antario Brown, Northern Illinois ($6.5K); Jalen Buckley, Western Michigan ($4.9K)
DraftKings CFB DFS Picks - Wide Receivers
Coleman Owen, Ohio ($7.2K)
Owen has put up a few monsters this year, but the off weeks have been very off. Something felt different last week between Navarro and Owen, but keep in mind that Ohio won't be breaking out a bunch of tricks in this one. This game should be in hand by halftime.
Cam Thompson, Northern Illinois ($4.8K)
NIU's offense has been a mess for much of the season, but Thompson has caught fire in the last two games. He has 13 receptions for 208 yards and a touchdown. That counts as explosive in this offense.
Blake Bosma, Western Michigan ($4.5K)
Bosma gets quite a few targets, but he doesn't get much for yardage. Still, he has scored four touchdowns in the last two games. The Broncos are looking for him when it counts. He's a good bet to score another touchdown tonight.
Also consider: Chrishon McCray, Kent State ($6.9K); Trayvon Rudolph, Northern Illinois ($5.6K); Luke Floriea, Kent State ($5.3K)
DraftKings CFB Stacks
Ohio
Navarro, Hunt, and Owen are great but don't forget about Nolan McCormick. You know ... the guy who had 11 carries against Buffalo last week (more than Hunt, I might add). Both McCormick and Hunt will see enough carries to be assets in DFS lineups.
Also consider: Kent State, Northern Illinois
