2023 NFL Conference Championship Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 4-0 against the spread last week).

Last week’s slate of playoff games weren’t as good as the Wild Card week, but it was still a lot of fun.

Three of these four teams appeared in the conference championship last year. The Bengals and Chiefs met last year (with the Bengals winning outright) and the Niners make an appearance for the second season in-a-row. The Eagles find themselves in new territory as they got good in a hurry under first-year head coach Nick Sirianni.

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

2023 NFL Divisional Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I went 4-2 against the spread and 2-4 with my over/under picks.

Most of the games were fun to watch and I love this week’s slate of playoff games. There are some interesting match-ups and a few young quarterbacks could move up a tier with a win this weekend.

I love that we don’t have any double-digit point spreads this week. We had many in the last few divisional game rounds in recent years.

Can the Jaguars continue their run with a win against the Chiefs?

2023 NFL Wild Card Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread in the final regular season games.

We have a slate of six games this weekend and most are rematches from earlier meetings this season. I would preach caution when gleaning too much information from previous meetings, especially those that took place back in October or November.

We have a few near-double digit games this weekend, which has been common in recent years.

Can the Bills cover a double-digit point spread over the Dolphins?

2022-23 NFL Week 18 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6 against the spread last week.

Last week’s slate of games ended with such a horrible situation. Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest after he tackled Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. It was the scariest football injury situation that I’ve witnessed since Dennis Byrd or Mike Utley went down with neck injuries in the 90’s. We wish Hamlin a speedy recovery.

This week’s betting picks is lean heavily on different playoff scenarios. There are only a few playoff spots left, but a handful of teams could leapfrog each other if certain things happen.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 18 of the 2022 NFL season.

2022 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread last week.

I’m glad to be back with my regular NFL betting content. I had a physical issue during the cold stretch and my arms were numb due to my ongoing neck issues. I deal with intermittent numbness, but this was next level. I had very little coordination in my hands and it made typing a slow, typo-ridden experience.

This time of the year, you need to be knowledgeable about different playoff-clinching scenarios. There are a few teams that can clinch spots and it doesn’t look like any team will bulk rest their starters.

2022 College Football Playoff Semifinals Betting Picks Against Spread

The College Football Playoff teams were chosen weeks ago, and it wasn’t without controversy.

Two of the four teams lost their last contest, and Ohio State didn’t even play in their conference championship game. There were a lot of people who thought other conference champions deserved to leapfrog the Buckeyes in the rankings.

Can Georgia and Michigan continue their perfect seasons and avoid the upset?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick every college football game against the spread during the College Football Playoff Semifinals of the 2022-23 NCAA Football season (December 31st, 2022).

2022 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread last week.

This week’s NFL gambling picks will be short and sweet.

I have long-term neck issues that stem from two bad car accident I had many years ago. I am dealing with a rather serious flare up and both of my hands are numb. I tried to write up my usual weekly article, but it was taking way too long. Who knew that dragging your uncoordinated hands around a keyboard would cause so many typos.

I hope I will be back with my normal column next week.

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 16

We only have a few more weeks left of the season.

I’m thinking about ending my fantasy picks after next week. Week 18 is such an unpredictable week due to playoff scenarios and teams resting their starters. It’s just a crap shoot and you’re probably not looking for waiver wire pickups in the final week of the regular season.

We are starting to find some new fantasy football waiver wire targets who are on very bad teams. I would suggest looking at players like Texans WR Chris Moore.

2022 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6 against the spread last week.

Once again, I finished the week near-.500. It’s almost automatic at this point, but I hope that a full slate of games will end this streak of parity.

We only have one double-digit point spread this week. We usually have three of four double-digit betting lines this time of year. We will see way more in the coming weeks, so enjoy this week.

The Cardinals vs Broncos game might be the worst game of the year. I feel sorry for people in those regions.

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 15

We will have full slates of games for the rest of the season.

You may have most of your roster set in stone, but there are always improvements to be made. I always look at which defenses I can stream and look to see there is an improvement I can pick up for one of my flex spots.

I try to suggest some under-the-radar adds for deeper leagues, and unless its a quarterback, I rarely add anyone above 90% ownership.

This week’s edition is pretty bare bones due to a time crunch. I make my sit/start suggestions, but I don’t have any commentary next to my picks. Next week’s edition will go back to my in-depth approach.

2022 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 against the spread last week.

I’ve been hovering around .500 for the entire month of November and I start December with a stinker. I hope to break my steak of mediocrity with a strong finish to the regular season.

This will be our last week with byes and we will have full slate of sixteen games after this week. I love having more opportunities every week, especially now that the college football regular season is over.

Can the Cowboys cover a huge point spread against the Texans?

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 14

We have a whopping six teams out on bye this week.

The Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints and the Washington Commanders are out on bye. There are some fantasy beasts on those teams, so you could have some big shoes to fill with a streaming option.

This is the final week with byes this year. You should have a nice streamlined lineup after this week. I’m still a fan of streaming a flex and DEF/ST spots the rest of the year.
