Rush Classic Pack 

Now that we've established the contents of each pack, let's delve into a few crucial aspects regarding the player cards featured in them and explore their potential expected value (EV).

To begin, let's examine some key facts of this drop. There is plenty of star power in this drop, with teams like Miami and Buffalo set to face off in a pivotal Week 4 matchup. Here are the total numbers of players at each position that can be found in the drop

• QB: 22
• RB: 36
• WR: 65
• TE: 24
• DEF: 0
• K: 0

Projected Value Per Pack: $82.50

Projected EV: +$12.50 (using promo price of $69.99) 

Now, calculating the EV of these packs is relatively straightforward. Multiply the number of cards for each player at each tier by their price/marketplace value, or in our instance projected value ($825,000 total) for all tiers, and then divide the result by the number of packs available (10000).

While it's evident that not every pack will attain that anticipated value, it's worth noting that there are a few chances to get a card worth around $1,000. With Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, and the chance to win $100,000 this week using these cards, the allure and excitement of these packs are likely to lead to a quick sellout! So be ready at 6:00 p.m. ET today! Be sure to check out all the available players here.
