This article is part of our College Football DFS: Weekday Slate series.
Happy New Year and welcome to our New Year's Day Main Slate breakdown. We have four games on tap, including both semifinal matchups in the College Football Playoff. Outside of the Alabama-Notre Dame and Clemson-Ohio State showdowns, we have Georgia facing Cincinnati in the Peach Bowl to kick off the day and Auburn-Northwestern in the Citrus Bowl an hour later. The playoff games have the higher totals with both games expected to have more than 60 points scored while the non-playoff games are expected to be more of the defensive battle variety.
