2020 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6 against the spread last week.

This will be the last week with a full slate of sixteen games (unless there’s a COVID-19 cancellation) for a couple months.

We are starting to get a good feel for which teams are playoff-caliber and which ones are in for a long season. The point spreads are a little tighter this week. It could be time to jump off the bandwagon if point spreads start to creep into the double-digits.

Can Ravens QB Lamar Jackson bounce-back from a rough passing outing against the Chiefs?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 4 of the 2020 NFL season.

Don’t Let The Pandemic Stop You Loving Sports

It’s been a long year in 2020, and let’s face it, sports have suffered at the hands of COVID-19. Everywhere sports stadiums shut down, tournaments were canceled and we were all forced to sit at home watching NFL compilations on YouTube. It has truly been a stagnant year full of disappointment. Although there are still ways to incorporate more sports into your life, the pandemic has flattened many people’s dreams of going to games, hearing the roar of the crowd, drinking sodas and eating cheap meats.

Five Reasons To Take Up MMA

Like boxing, MMA is becoming more and more popular due to its many benefits. Not only is it highly physical requiring great strength and stamina, but it is also good for the mind and body. Mixed martial arts is also a great calorie burner so if you are looking to lose weight, you’ll be sure to lose a few pounds. Not only that, the great thing about MMA is that its easily accessible, with not much equipment needed at all, and no matter your age, gender, or ability anybody can take part.

Below we’ve put together five reasons you should be taking up MMA.

MMA is great for Fitness

You may not realize it but 5 rounds in the Hexagon require a huge amount of fitness. Fitness is one of the key components that is required when becoming a good fighter which is why a lot of the training is heavily focused on this.

If you love sports, but you want to find a way to make them an even bigger part of your life, then the fact is that there are plenty of ways in which you can do that. No matter what it is that you might currently be doing or what you are into, there are some easy and simple changes that could make all the difference in the world. In this post, we are going to take a look at a number of these changes that are going to make sports a much bigger part of your life in no time, so that you can ensure you are going to enjoy them all the more. These are absolutely the kind of things that you would want to focus on in that sense.

Join A Local Team

First of all, if you want to make sports a bigger part of your life, that will generally mean playing it more. You can do that in a lot of ways, but one of the best and most obvious is to find a local team whom you can join in with. No matter what your sport might be, joining a local team is bound to be the kind of thing that really makes this a reality. That could be an amateur team if you are worried about that side of things, but it doesn’t really matter all that much in the long run. The important thing is that you find a team to play with, and do so regularly, and in the process you are going to find that you can really enjoy that sport and make it much more a part of your life.

Is Your Smartphone As Secure As You Think It Is?

We use smartphones for everything these days, from making calls and sending messages to managing our bank accounts. That’s great and it makes life easier for everybody but it does also mean that our phone is a goldmine for criminals. If your phone gets stolen and you don’t have the right security measures in place, people can easily access all of your online accounts, your bank, and your private photos. That’s why it’s important that you secure your phone, and that doesn’t just mean setting a simple password. These are the best ways to keep your smartphone secure.

Use The Advanced Passcode Features

A simple passcode, like 1234, isn’t going to protect your phone from anybody. It’s important that you set a passcode and you make it something that isn’t easy to crack. Make it as long as possible and don’t use any obvious dates, like your own birthday. If you have a relatively new phone, you need to make use of the advanced passcode features, like fingerprint and facial recognition. These features make your phone a lot harder to break into and it only takes a second to switch them on in the settings, so make sure you use them.

Fueling Your Finances: Earning Money With Your Car in Style

A car is something we all take for granted to an extent, and while it will give us a lot of freedom in life, when we are struggling to pay for the upkeep, we have to figure out ways to kill two birds with one stone. Many people learn the fine art that is a side hustle. And you might be someone who is learning how to make money with your drone or become a fully-fledged freelancer. But what can you do to turn your car into a money-making machine without being a delivery driver?

Show People How to Fix Their Car

People need to save money on their car but while most of us end up going to the mechanic for things that we should really know how to do, such as changing the oil, we could be savvy and teach people the fine arts of fixing their car so they don’t need to rely on the mechanic so much. Granted, you may want to get some sort of mechanical qualification, but you have to remember the importance of helping people help themselves. When people go on blogs or videos to learn how to do things, this can require some interpretation. You could learn how to teach people how to fix things in their own car. And this will consist of you getting a fine spread of education. You may need to know about UTV parts and accessories when this isn’t your specialty. And yes while you may think that people can just go to a mechanic, if you can teach people these little skills so they can help themselves, this can be a wise investment for them which is something you could use in your promotion.

Making Money With Your Drone: A Guide

To quote the immortal words of Blink 182 “Work sucks… I know!”. Well, let’s be real here. It’s not so much that work sucks. It’s that the corporate structures within which we work suck. Think about it! We work so hard for our employers, yet all we get in return are scraps from their table. We’re working within a system of wage repression, where our employers deliberately keep our wages lower than we deserve in order to inflate their own profit margins (wage suppression). Heck, look no further than Amazon. Sure, they’re a huge employer that creates a lot of jobs. But no business that has an ethical backbone should be headed by a man who’s set to become the world’s first trillionaire in less than a decade.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 with my college football picks last week.

We still don’t have a full slate of potential games this week, but we do see some Big 12 teams joining the ACC and small conference teams.

Notre Dame failed to cover last week against Duke. The Irish face South Florida on Saturday and face an even larger point spread. Can they bounce back and beat South Florida by 26 points?

Not all the games have betting lines as of this writing, but we did find 18 games with betting lines.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick all 18 college football games against the spread in Week 3 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (September 19th, 2020).
