2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 13

I had a rough week with my betting picks, but my fantasy picks were some of my best recommendations this season.

The Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers are all out on bye this week.

There aren’t a ton of top fantasy performers out this week, so you may not want to tinker with your lineup a ton. We suggest a few deeper league options this week to help those fantasy owners.

Will Patriots QB Mac Jones perform well against the Bills on Monday Night Football?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 13 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals.

Is SDSU Punter Matt Araiza a Future First-Round Pick?

Every year, there are a few college football players that I seek out their highlights. They are usually from smaller schools or teams out West that I don’t usually catch on television. This year’s number one guy I hunt for is San Diego State punter/kicker Matt Araiza.

Yes, I look forward to watching punting highlights every week. If you’ve seen just one highlight from Araiza, you would understand why. I’m not alone in this as he trends often on Twitter due to his unbelievable punts. He has two 80+ yard punts on his résumé this season.

Matt Araiza is a redshirt junior and takes care of punting, kicking, and kick-off duties. His placekicking skills aren’t great, but that doesn’t mean a team couldn’t refine his accuracy once drafted. It’s his punting ability that has put him on the map.

2021 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-5 against the spread last week.

I’ve had a couple up and down weeks recently, so it was nice to have big week heading into Thanksgiving.

Historically, I’ve done very well on Thanksgiving. I’ve had multiple three-team parlays hit over the years and I once had a streak of twelve-straight covers over the course of three Thanksgivings.

I hope I didn’t just jinx myself for bringing that up.

Can the Colts cover at home against Tom Brady?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 12 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 12

Turkey Day is finally here!

The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams are the only two teams out on bye this week.

There are only a handful of top fantasy players out on bye this week, but honestly, after the Rams & Broncos performances last week, you needed a week away to calm down.

Will Bucs QB Tom Brady bounce-back from a sub-par performance?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 12 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Mac Jones of the New England Patriots.

5 Ways to Fix Future “Survivor Series” PPVs

This weekend, WWE had their 2021 ‘Survivor Series” pay-per-view from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. It was panned as a boring show by most, and for me, the only thing worth watching was the opening match between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair.

The “Survivor Series” used to be one of the biggest, most-anticipated shows of the year, but it hasn’t been that in a long, long time. WWE didn’t dedicate much time building up this PPV as they’ve been hot-shotting title matches in hopes of keeping their ratings above all-time record lows. They really only focused on the upcoming PPV over the last two weeks, and it wasn’t a successful build.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 15-10 against the spread last week.

I had an alright week against the spread, but Purdue really let me down. They were playing so darn well and they just hit a wall against Ohio State. It was ugly and my hail may Purdue moneyline play was a lost cause by the end of the first quarter.

After a week of weak SEC games, there are a few solid games to watch this week. Arkansas at Alabama is one many are looking forward to, but the Razorbacks secondary could fold early.

Can Michigan State upset Ohio State on Saturday?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 12 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (November 20th, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 against the spread last week.

I’ve had a couple rough weeks after a strong first-half of the season. It was time to pivot and move around some of my personal team rankings.

After a week full of double-digit spreads, we only have two on the docket this week. It is a welcomed change as double-digit NFL spreads can be hard to handicap.

The Cowboys/Chiefs game is the marquee contest this week. Both teams are coming off blowout wins. Can the Chiefs cover at home?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 11 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 11

We had another odd week with the Lions playing to a tie against the Steelers and Panthers QB Cam Newton turned back the clock in his re-debut with the team.

The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams are the only two teams out on bye this week.

There are only a handful of top fantasy players out on bye this week, but honestly, after the Rams & Broncos performances last week, you needed a week away to calm down.

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: November 2021

I was only going to do seasonal playlists, but I’ve found a lot of great new music since my Fall playlist last month.

I used to do these playlists every month, but a few of my side projects for super busy and the pandemic hit. I find more new music during football season because I sit here with headphones glued to my ears while I write 10k+ words a week.

I always keep an ear out for new music. I love discovering new bands/songs, it’s a habit from my days as a music journalist. Even though this is mostly a sports blog, I still add quite a bit of music and pop culture content. Keep sending me tracks via email or Twitter.

If you want to listen to songs that appeared on past playlists, you can listen to our playlist on Spotify or go here to view our past hipster playlists.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-13-1 against the spread last week.

I would have been down this week, but I was able to hit on a Purdue moneyline to keep me in the black.

There are some big games in the Big Ten this week. Purdue at Ohio State and Michigan at Penn State have Big Ten Championship-altering potential.

Can Oklahoma stay perfect on the year with a win at Baylor?

2021 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 against the spread last week. The late games on Sunday bailed me out or the week would have been a disaster.

We have had back-to-back weird weeks in the NFL. Hell, the Jets and Jaguars are playing pretty well right now, so that’s weird in itself.

We have five double-digit point spreads this week. The favorites have actually covered more double-digit spreads than they’ve failed this season.

Will the Bills rebound from last week’s close win over the Jaguars and cover against the Jets?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season.
