2026 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

Leave a reply

We are starting with our college football picks with Week 2 of the season. We used to always do this, but changed it a few seasons ago. No matter how much research you’ve done, you’re still going into the season rather blind. We have now seen what all these teams look like this year.

All eyes are on the Ohio State at Texas game on Saturday night. Texas QB Archie Manning did not play as advertised last year. If he can knock off the Buckeyes, he could get back into the #1 pick conversation again.

Can Texas defend homefield against Ohio State?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 2 of the 2025-26 NCAA Football season (September 12th, 2026).

2026 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Leave a reply

I’m excited for the start of football season. I think this will be a fun year.

Are you prepared for the season? It feels awfully sudden, but it always feels that way for me.

This will be a make-it-or-break-it year for many current quarterbacks. The next draft is absolutely stacked with quality quarterback prospects. Which quarterbacks will have a Daniel Jones-like season to resurrect their careers?

Can the Bears make a huge leap and be a great betting team?

We pick almost every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season.

2026 Football Betting Picks!

Leave a reply

The betting picks are coming back!

I wasn’t able to keep up with my NFL and College Football picks last season. I was having numbness in my arms and hands, and was taking a long time to write and increased pain. It was the first time in over a decade that I had to stop for any reason. I underwent major neck surgery in January to fuse my C2 to T1 vertebrae, and it fixed a lot of issues. It was an awful recovery, but I am able to feel my arms and hands again.

The betting picks are coming back, but they won’t be the 10,000+ word content every week. I am behind on my other ventures and don’t have the 12 hours a week to dedicate to break down games and explain my picks. I still plan on writing on a smaller level some weeks, but it will mostly be a bare bones post with my weekly picks.

Thank you for sticking with me through this garbage. I will have my NFL picks up early evening on Wednesday.

2025 NCAA Football – College Football Playoff – 2nd Round

I went 3-1 against the spread in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

The first-round of the College Football Playoff had a pair of fun outings, and two games that were out-of-hand against non-Power Four teams. We won’t have those kind of talent disparities going forward, since all eight teams are battle-tested.

Can the Big Ten have a big showing in the second round?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick every college football game in the second round of the College Football Playoff the 2025-26 NCAA Football season (December 31st & January 1st).

2025 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-5-1 in Week 15 of the NFL football season.

We have three games on Christmas Day this year. The NFL is putting the screws to the NBA, who once dominated the holiday.

I am fighting my way back to avoid my first losing season in all the years I’ve been posting my picks against the spread. Last week’s games helps close the deficit to just three games. That can easily be made up with two more of the regular season and the playoffs left.

We have a pair of new third-string quarterbacks taking the ball this week. The Commanders and Chiefs will both have new faces under center.

Can the Bears clinch the NFC North?

We pick almost every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season.

My Weekly TTM Autograph Haul #130 – Larry Walker

We have an epic group of players in this week of through the mail autograph returns. This video contains 11 autograph successes.

We got Baseball Hall of Famer Larry Walker. He got in with his tenth ballot, which was long overdue. He was a great hitter, but many dinged him for playing his prime in the thin air of Colorado.

Other notable returns were Hall of Fame golfer Fred Couples and former San Francisco Giants pitcher Shawn Estes.

2025 NCAA Football – College Football Playoff – 1st Round

I usually completely ignore all the bowl games, because it doesn’t work with a weekly pick format. I have enjoyed the College Football Playoff and it works with what I do.

We have some fun match-ups in FBS conference championship games. I personally can’t wait to watch Indiana and Ohio State face off in Indianapolis. I grew up in Indiana and spent nearly a decade in Columbus, Ohio.

Can either of these non-Power Four teams upset their opponent in the first round?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick every college football game in the first round of the College Football Playoff the 2025-26 NCAA Football season (December 19th & 20th, 2025).

2025 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 in Week 15 of the NFL football season.

I was extraordinarily late posting my picks, so I wasn’t able to pick the Thursday night game, so I only had 15 picks last week.

I need some big weeks to climb back and avoid my first-ever below .500 season since I started doing this many years ago.

We have some changes at quarterback this week, so there are a few tough games to handicap on the schedule.

We pick almost every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season.

My Weekly TTM Autograph Haul #129 – Carlton Fisk & more

We have a cool group of players in this week of through the mail autograph returns. This video contains 12 autograph successes.

We got Baseball Hall of Fame catcher Carlton Fisk. He has his number retired by two different teams (White Sox and Red Sox), and is arguably the greatest catcher of all-time.

Other notable returns were Hall of Fame third baseman Wade Boggs, former two-time Cy Young winner Bret Saberhagen and many more.

2025 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 in Week 14 of the NFL football season.

I was extraordinarily late posting my picks, so I was unable to post my Thursday Night Football pick in time for the game.

We have some strange teams battling for their playoff lives right now. The Chiefs, Ravens and Bills could see their playoff hopes take a huge dive with losses this week. Those teams are usually on cruise control for their division crown, or at least have a lead to do so.

We pick ~~every~~ almost every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 14 of the 2025 NFL season.

My Weekly TTM Autograph Haul #128 – Dennis Eckersley & more

We have a cool group of players in this week of through the mail autograph returns. This video contains 11 autograph successes.
