I went 13-9 against the spread last week.
As of Thursday afternoon, there have been 14 college football games wither cancelled or postponed due to COVID-19. My guess is that there will be a couple more cancelled before Saturday.
The marquee game this week is Indiana at Ohio State. Can the Hoosiers shock the country and stay undefeated?
We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 12 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (November 21st, 2020).
Many names on last year’s College Basketball All-Name Team were lost to graduation and the NBA. There’s always some one-and-done players, but we lost some all-timers like Tacko Fall and Bol Bol. This is more like a rebuilding year, but there are a handful of great new names that head up this year’s All-Name Team.
We picked through every Division-I college basketball roster and a few smaller schools for our list. This year’s class is solid and right up there with last year’s All-Name Team.
My name is Bobby Roberts, so I am often jealous of people with unique names. The most unique thing about my name is that I was not born ‘Robert Roberts’, Bobby is my given name. I don’t know too many grown men named Bobby.
This list consists of names that we wished he had and ones we find humorous. Enjoy!
I finished 12-12-1 against the spread last week.
After this weekend, there should be a pretty clear picture of what the College Football Playoff may look like at the end of the year.
There are some de facto CFP elimination games this week. Alabama vs LSU is the biggest of them all. I am interested in seeing two of the current top-four CFP ranked teams face-off.
Also, the Georgia game versus Kentucky has playoff implications as well. The winner will most likely win their division in the SEC and play in the conference championship game.
We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 10 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (November, 3rd, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.
Thanks to some cancelled games last week, I went 11-11-1 with college football picks against the spread in Week 3. I usually pick 25 games, but a few went unplayed thanks to the hurricane that hit the East Coast.
There are some marquee games this weekend. Texas A&M vs Alabama, TCU at Texas and Stanford at Oregon starts the first week of a lot of conference games. Most teams start to play conference games next week, so we won’t get many out-of-conference games going forward.
We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 4 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (September 22nd, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.
I kicked off the season with a limp. I only went 11-13-1 with my college football gambling picks last week.
I don’t usually bet the first week of college football, but I gave it a go this year. I made some smart plays, but a few teams just pulled their starters too early in blowout games. I missed a few blowout covers by less than a touchdown.
There are some big rivalry games this week. USC at Stanford is an interesting game. You should know each team’s talent by the end of that contest. Can Stanford RB Bryce Love brush off a rough start to the season?
We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 2 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (September 8th, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.
I rarely do Week 1 college football gambling picks, but I feel like I’ve done so much research, it’s time I do it this year.
The reason I rarely do Week 1 college football picks is because I like a little more information. I can see how teams do and a lot of college coaches like to wait until the last minute to officially name a starting QB (I’m looking at you UCLA & Alabama). Teams can vary so much in college that there’s a lot of risk in Week 1…but on the other hand, if you’re prepared, there’s also a lot of value in betting heavy in the first two weeks of the season.
There are some big games this week as Notre Dame, Florida State, Auburn, Washington and Michigan all face tough opponents to start the season.
We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 1 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (September 1st, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.
The NBA Draft is two rounds and consists of just 60 picks, so not every good college basketball player will hear his name called during the NBA Draft. 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 either sign for an NBA team’s Summer League spot in hopes of catching on with a team. Most will probably end up in the Gatorade League or play overseas.
I’m sure people who love ‘their team’ always wonder why the star of their team didn’t even play a single minute in the NBA.
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 2018 NBA Draft.
After the slate of games on Saturday, both Oregon and Arizona are currently ranked at the top position of conference standings with 10-4. Nevertheless, Utah is also down on their necks at a 9-5 with a game in hand against USC scheduled on Sunday afternoon, whereas Cal and USC follow Utah at 8-5. This would make it a tight championship to predict.
For many years, Pac 12 has been more a five-team race in between the schools, but odds thus boiling down to either Oregon or Arizona. Unluckily, these two teams will not face-off anymore in this year’s regular season. Arizona was beaten by Oregon in their single match-up earlier in Arizona, where they won by 83-75
So, I’ve been dealing with a bout of ‘get these f***ing kidney stones out of me’ pain the last few days. I have been unable to sit down and do my write up until this evening, but I’ve been studying matchups and trends all week.
I needed to cut this week’s post down quite a bit, since I can’t stomach sitting up in a chair for a long time. I still picked 20 games against the spread, but the format is just the ‘Quick Picks’ that I usually save for the end of my weekly column.
I will try to get next week’s column up in a timely manner…kidney stone or not!
We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick against the spread for all the big college football games on Saturday (October 31st, 2015), and pick some smaller conference games as well. Enjoy!
I’ve been hovering around .500 so far this year. I have moved some of my rankings around and hope to have a big week. Most teams are now into their conference schedule, so there will be less spreads of 30+ and we have some historical information to help our picks.
I went 9-10-1 last week. I whiffed on BYU/Michigan and a couple others. I felt some of the picks were ‘smart’, but they did not hit. A few balls fell in the other direction in those games.

Many of the top teams in the nation didn’t perform up to expectations last week. I hate betting on large spreads, especially when a ranked team faces a small school. So many things have to go right for them to cover, but also small schools sometime just show up to cash a check. It’s a coin flip.
I went 10-10 last week. I whiffed on a few that lost badly, but still feel good about those picks. Sometimes you can still make a ‘smart pick’ and have it lose. It’s all part of gambling. The same system or strategy will win games later on.

I ended up doing pretty well last week. I went 13-7 and hit on a few moneyline underdogs plays. I want to thank Georgia Tech for the outright win against Georgia. My record is now 143-112-3 on the season.
Conference Championship games can be a crapshoot. Pay close attention to injury reports and make sure to check weather reports (just in case). Most of the games this week are played in nice weather and/or in domes. It shouldn’t be a huge factor.
We were 134-79-8 against the spread betting on college football games last season. We hope to keep it going and help you guys out again this season.
