We break down a $400 DraftKings win, why we're shrinking our DFS Optimizer player pool, and a new strategy for NBA Best Ball drafts. Plus, MLB payrolls, NFL coaching mistakes, and some questionable late-game decisions.

On the gaming side, we discuss the new Final Fantasy demo, Castlevania, and EverQuest Legends builds. We also share the latest Terra CORE Online improvements and talk about bringing more players into the game.

Is taking a knee instead of scoring a touchdown really the smart football move? We challenge conventional NFL wisdom before celebrating our first profitable week on both FanDuel and DraftKings with the Optimizer. We also talk about shrinking the player pool and finding more consistent players.

Then we dive into Final Fantasy nostalgia, EverQuest Legends Paladin quests and epic weapons, and our biggest Terra CORE update yet. The online game is now playable, with multiplayer testing, touchscreen support, and a deck builder!

We keep shrinking the DFS player pool and uncover a few more problems with the optimizer—including Stars & Scrubs builds and how different RB archetypes are handled. After nearly breaking the whole thing while fixing it, we're down around 70–80 players and ready for another NFL week.

Then we dive into EverQuest Legends builds, Bard songs, motes, dungeons and gear before revealing a completely rebuilt online version of Terra CORE with its own deck builder. We're getting closer to finally playing Terra CORE online.
