Now that fall is finally here, it means that college and — more importantly — the NFL season is upon us! Already the USC Trojans fired their coach, the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers are undefeated, and the season is only into Week 1.
The calendar has us thinking about where Los Angeles is the best place to catch all the NFL action. Whether it is playing a round of golf before grabbing a bite and a game, or if you’re heading out to watch all the games live, knowing the best spots in LA to watch is critical.
Whatever you choose to do, don’t forget to set your fantasy lineup before you head out. The last thing you want is to get distracted or forget to put your lineup and watch as a player on your bench has the game of his life, especially in daily fantasy (DFS).
You need to use a lineup optimization tool regardless of your individual NFL DFS strategy to optimize your lineup. But, again, getting real-time data and professional analysis will give you a head’s up on the rest of your league.
