2020 NBA Draft – Best Undrafted Players

The 2020 NBA Draft is two rounds and consists of just 60 picks, so not every good college basketball player will hear his name called. Many NBA teams opt to select players with a higher upside and some of those picks are foreign players they wish to just stash overseas.

There are still some very good players left to sign, but due to the pandemic, there is no Summer League to prove they belong in the league. Also, it’s unknown what sort of Gatorade League will happen for the 2020-21 season. This group of undrafted players will have some unique obstacles in their way.

Guys like Alex Caruso and Quinn Cook won an NBA title this year and they went undrafted in their respective draft classes.

This is not the end of the road for these players. There are many undrafted players in the NBA, so a few of these guys will still make their dreams come true in the future.

Here are the best undrafted players not selected in the 2020 NBA Draft.

2020 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-4-3 against the spread last week.

There have been some COVID-19 activity this week. There have been a few teams that have transferred players to the COVID-19 reserve list. The Las Vegas Raiders could miss many key players on defense this week.

The marquee game this week is the Los Angeles Rams vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on Monday Night Football.

How will Tom Brady fare against the Rams stout defense?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 11 of the 2020 NFL season.

Why Did Poker Becomes So Popular?

Some people believe that poker has always been around and part of the global stage. But when Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Data, and the rest of the Star Trek crew played it on the Enterprise in the 1980s, it was still pretty niche. The game didn’t command the kind of attention that it does today.

So why is poker so popular? Why do we now have entire TV channels, programs, and tournaments dedicated to it?

It’s Stranger Than Fiction

Poker isn’t just an exciting card game. Because of the size of the cash prizes associated with it, it also creates interesting stories.

Top Four Things You Need for An Off-Road Trip

The classic American Road Trip is fun no matter who you are, but if you’ve indulged in your inner Kerouac a few too many times, you likely want to find a different way to have an adventure. For anyone who cannot resist the allure that road trips bring, why not consider off-roading as a suitably high-octane replacement? However, before you go, you’ll need to know everything you need to make it safe and successful.

The Transport

It should go without saying, but your off-road adventure will quickly become stuck in the mud without the appropriate off-road vehicle. This means that, no, you cannot take your Tesla Model 3 into the backwoods or across the plains. Instead, you’ll need to find which Adventure Vehicles are right for you. These cars, vans, or 4x4s will come with enough engine torque to get you out of sticky situations, while the comfort and suspension can also ensure you tackle tricky non-roads with ease.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-10-1 against the spread last week.

If you’ve been going hard on underdog moneylines in the Big Ten this season, you probably have enough for a gold boat right now. I think the point spreads have corrected quite a bit since teams like Penn State and Michigan are seeing single-digit point spreads now.

I didn’t notice any glaring point spread miscues in the Pac 12 last week. I think bettors handicapped those teams pretty well. I think they are still a little light on Washington State, but we will see after this week’s game against Oregon.

The marquee game this week is Wisconsin at Michigan. Can the Wolverines avoid starting the year 1-3?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 11 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (November 14th, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6 against the spread last week.

It doesn’t appear that there are any games in jeopardy of being canceled due to COVID-19. There are handful of cases in the NFL, but they’ve been isolated so far. With daily cases increasing at an alarming rate, it wouldn’t surprise me if we see a few games canceled in the coming weeks.

One interesting game this week is a face-off of rookie quarterbacks when the Los Angeles Chargers travel to the Miami Dolphins.

Which rookie QB will leave with the win, Justin Herbert or Tua Tagovailoa?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 10 of the 2020 NFL season.

Everything You Need For A Day At The Gun Range

There is never a bad time to practice on your shooting skills, whether you are a gun enthusiast or you are simply learning for self-defense. A day at the gun range may sound like a lot of fun, but you want to make sure that you are prepared. It is important that you understand that the more you visit the gun range, the more this list will seem like second-nature. The tools you use at the gun range need to be of quality. Here is a list of everything you need for a day at the gun range.

Range Bag

Your range bag will hold the essential including your gun and other tools you need. Make sure that no matter how you shoot, your range bag is big enough to fit everything you need.

Tips To Protect Yourself During Sports Activities

Sports activities are important to be a part of for fitness, but when it comes to looking after yourself, it’s critical that you’re preventing any injuries from occurring. With that being said, here are some tips to protect yourself during sports activities.

Wear Protective Gear

We’re always told as children to wear a helmet when cycling, and so we take that awareness and knowledge as we get older. Wearing protective headgear and body gear is important to keep your body protected, especially as we get older. Sometimes, we’re not as nimble on our feet, and that can result in an accident happening. When it does happen, you’d rather have that protection in place to minimize the impact that it has on your body. For those cases where you’re not so fortunate, and perhaps you were injured by someone else, it’s worth exploring what case you might have when it comes to seeking legal help. For example, anyone who gets injured whilst on a bike may want to speak to a bike accident lawyer to explore the likelihood of getting compensation for any injuries that may have occurred. Taking safety seriously is important, and protective gear can ensure you reduce any impact of serious injuries to your body.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-13 against the spread last week.

The Big Ten has been weird so far. We’ve had teams like Indiana, Rutgers and Michigan State score victories over teams we expected to sail through those games. Maybe those teams have improved greatly since last season, but I doubt we will see Rutgers among the top-tier of teams in the conference at year’s end. Ohio State could be the best team in the conference by a large margin.

The marquee games this week are Florida vs Georgia (in Jacksonville) and Clemson at Notre Dame.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 9 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (November 7th, 2020).

Three Fitness Tips To Motivate You This Winter

The temperatures are starting to drop as we get into the colder months, and so are a lot of people’s fitness motivation.

If you love water sports, you might have looked into investing in your own equipment in the past. Those who are lucky enough to live near a lake or coast line often enjoy getting out on the water in a boat, kayak, paddle board or canoe. Not only are water sports amazing cardiovascular and muscular toning sports, but they also allow you to see beautiful wildlife and get back into nature when the world feels too crazy.
