As far as star power goes, Sunday Night Football is not the most banging matchup we’ve seen this year. It is, however, one of the biggest games of the week — an NFC North matchup between two 7-8 teams that desperately need a win. Whoever loses is toast in terms of the playoff picture. Plus, there is the matter of the Packers-Vikings rivalry being one of the most heated in the modern NFL. If that weren’t enough, Sleeper Fantasy is boosting the fun with a great pick on sale: Jordan Love higher/lower than 0.5 passing yards!
If you have only played Sleeper Fantasy’s season-long fantasy leagues, their pick’em contests are some of the toughest but also most rewarding in terms of real cash. All you have to do is guess if a player will go for higher or lower than a projection Sleeper sets, with each pick getting its own payout multiplier. The more picks you hit, the bigger the cash prize, with the chance to get up to 100x your investment! And now we have a sure thing like this Love free square, so let’s get into it and build a Sleeper entry.

Sleeper Fantasy NFL Picks & Predictions | Week 17 SNF
Jordan Love M/L 0.5 Passing Yards
This quarterback matchup has the potential to drive this game in 100 different directions. Love has the upside to explode but also the floor to give very little in terms of production. And then there is rookie Jaren Hall, and all we know for sure about him is that he is a great athlete. He could surprise us and make this game a shootout — or it could be a low-scoring dud.
That’s where this free square comes in handy; for at least one pick, we don’t have to take a guess on this highly variable matchup. Instead, we can just lock in Love to throw for more than 0.5 yards passing, and if he connects for just 1 yard, we have a winner …
… We almost have a winner. Sleeper entries require at least two picks, so we need one more to pair with Love, and it also has to be someone from the Vikings. So let’s lock in Love more than 0.5 yards passing, and then we’ll look to Stokastic’s Pick’em Pro to find a good option to finish this off.
The highest-EV option from Minnesota is Ty Chandler less than 61.5 yards rushing. This play has only a 52% win expectancy according to Stokastic projections, but the Sleeper multiplier is 1.78x, which is solid. That is giving our entry a 3.15x payout in total if we hit both picks!
If you want to boost your payout potential even more, keep adding picks! You will get better acquainted with Sleeper’s payout structure and strategy for building +EV plays as you get more involved, and if you’re looking for more Sleeper promos, check out Stokastic’s breakdown of everything they offer here!
