Super Bowl LIV – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 54 is this Sunday and it’s a prop bets smorgasbord.

I LOVE prop bets. I actually get more joy out of betting Super Bowl prop bets than betting against the spread. Yes, most are a crap shoot, but with the right research, you can end up winning bets with very favorable odds.

I’m not saying you can research who will win the coin toss, but there are many other player and team prop bets out there that have nice odds.

Some prop bets aren’t worth the money (the juice isn’t worth the slight risk), but sometimes you just have to lay a few bucks down, cross your fingers and wish for the best.

I picked out some of the most popular (and the most absurd) prop bets for Super Bowl 54 (or Super Bowl LIV for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

The Headline Performers Scheduled for the 2020 Super Bowl Halftime Show

We are only a matter of days away from the Super Bowl LIV, with the NFL’s leading contenders to reach the Super Bowl in Miami currently in the midst of the hectic and intense playoffs.

While most ardent NFL fans will be glued to their television screens to watch the two best teams of the season battle for the Lombardi trophy, many others will tune in to watch their favorite entertainers and performers take to the stage during the iconic Super Bowl halftime show.

Historically, the halftime show was a more modest production that didn’t take center stage ahead of the game itself. However, that all appeared to change in 1993 when Michael Jackson was invited to make a headline appearance. His signing helped encourage millions more to tune into the big game, which made the NFL and its broadcasters sit up and take notice of the halftime show’s potential.

2020 NFL Conference Championship Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-3 last week with my picks against the spread and over/under point totals during Divisional playoff games.

Last week’s games weren’t as crazy as the Wild Card weekend, but they were still a fun watch. The outcomes made for two interesting rematches from earlier this season.

Can Packers QB Aaron Rodgers spoil the Niners playoff run in his return to his hometown area?

Can the Titans use RB Derrick Henry’s legs to win their third-straight upset win and make it to the Super Bowl for the first time in 20 years?

Will Titans QB Ryan Tannehill pull a ‘Kurt Warner move’ and lead his team to the Super Bowl as a backup-turned-starting QB?

We pick both NFL Championship games against the spread and the over/under totals.

Wait, Can You Actually Turn That Business Dream Into Reality?

Can you actually turn that business dream into a reality, or is that just a pipe ambition? Might it be that the people you see succeed on Shark Tank or those that raise their startups from nothing to something are just lucky, in the right place in the right time? Or could this be afforded to you as well, provided you have the idea, the will and the technical skills to give yourself that potential path forward?

Look around and see the businesses enjoying humble success, and you’ll see most of them started in a similar manner. A person with a certain expertise decided to branch out on their own, and took the personal and financial risk in doing so. They worked hard to get where they are, it all started with that self-belief – that ‘I can do this’ attitude that helped them on their way.

All-Name Team – 2020 XFL Players

The XFL starts next month and we went through the current rosters and players who were drafted into the league. There were some players that were once in our college football all-name teams, which was a fun bonus.

What makes a great football name?

A good litmus test is if it works as a potential pro wrestling name, it works in college football. It also works if a name sounds like a verb, phrase, a certain body part or just a bad ass football name that makes them sound tough.

We went through every team in the XFL (there are only eight). We went through the names and picked out the ones that were funny and some names we just wish we had.

Moving Home: Moving Your Piano Safely

Expert knowledge and experience are essential to the safe transporting of your piano to your new home. It is important to ensure that you get a fully insured and dedicated team of professionals to do the removal. So how do you tell removal companies apart?

The key to getting the right piano movers is to ask the right questions. It is not enough to simply ask whether a company can move pianos, you need to be more specific. You need to know whether they have experience of moving grand or upright pianos and the type of equipment they use to achieve piano removals.

2020 NFL Divisional Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-3 last week with my picks against the spread and over/under point totals during Wild Card Weekend.

The Wild Card games were fun to watch last week. There were two that went into overtime and the other two games didn’t lack suspense with a pair of upsets.

Will the home teams start the game a little rusty after a week off or will the rest be a big factor in the game?

Will the Titans try to choke the game clock again this week in hopes of keeping Ravens QB Lamar Jackson off the field?

We pick every NFL Divisional Round playoff game against the spread and over/under.
