Later today, the NCAA presents Draftkings football fans with a playoff matchup featuring the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Let’s take a look at this game from a DFS perspective.

Before we dive into the Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish game let’s review the rules for Draftkings single game showdown contest.
