2024 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-5 against the spread in Week 7.

I had an outstanding Sunday, but finished 1-2 in the Sunday and Monday night primetime games. Any week when you have double-digit wins against the spread, is a positive week.

We have a rare midseason schedule with no bye weeks. We also have a handful of double-digit point spreads, which have been extremely rare so far this year. We will be seeing more going forward.

We are seeing injury issues wreaking havoc right now. We saw Tampa Bay, San Francisco and Cleveland lose important players to major injuries that will keep them out for the rest of the season.

2024 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-4-1 against the spread in Week 6.

I thought I was going to end up with double-digit wins this weekend, but Jets QB Aaron Rodgers threw a pick in the final minutes of their last to the Bills.

We have an odd schedule of games with a early-Sunday game in London and two Monday Night Football games.

The best teams in the league are beginning to separate themselves from the pack. The Detroit Lions have looked like the best team in the NFC so far this month, but a lot can change moving forward.

2024 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-1 against the spread in Week 5.

It was a back-and-forth weekend for me against the spread. I would yo-yo from a win to a loss. I wasn’t able to end the week in the black after a couple of parlays failed (thanks, Raiders).

The Commanders and Giants are two of the biggest surprises through the first five weeks. I would list the Broncos here, but I just can’t stomach watching Denver as their offense makes my teeth hurt.

Can the Bengals get an outright win (and cover) on the road against the Giants?

2023 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread during Week 16.

I’ve had back-to-back near.500 weeks and we need to finish the regular season strong.

This week’s trendy thing to do is for head coaches to start their backup quarterbacks. Some are forced to do so, but the Broncos and Commanders are opting to bench their starters to see what their backups can do at this point in the season. I’m curious to see if Jarrett Stidham can do better under center for the Broncos than Russell “Let’s Ride” Wilson.

2023 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-4-2 against the spread during Week 14.

It was a solid week overall, but I got my picks up super late. The lines are well-adjusted at that point and it’s hard to get an edge up on them, so it was a nice surprise.

This week, there are a ton of tight point spreads. A lot of home favorite are at -3 and below. These games are notorious for being coinflips, so it could be a tricky week.

We have a full slate of games with sixteen games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

2023 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread during Week 12.

I didn’t go a perfect 3-0 on Thanksgiving, but got myself out to a nice 2-1 start. The favorites had a big week with twelve of the sixteen games being covered by the favorites. I feel this week will be favorite-heavy as well, but we shall see.

The Eagles have had a murderer’s row of opponents of late. I’m interested in seeing if they come into their game against the Niners a big banged up after facing the Cowboys, Chiefs and Bills over their last three games.

2023 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-3 against the spread in Week 9.

I had my best week of the year and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on a handful of teams. A lot of the marquee teams are on bye this week (Chiefs, Eagles), so a lot of the middle-of-the-road teams will get more action.

The Cincinnati Bengals continued their resurgence and Denver Broncos are officially in the under-the-radar category. They’ve covered against the Packers and Chiefs in their last two games.

Will the San Francisco 49ers rebound from their three-game outright losing streak?

2023 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7 against the spread in Week 6.

I just can’t shake my streak of mediocrity. I’ve been stagnant at .500-ish for awhile now and I need a big week.

Last week, there were a couple huge underdogs that won against the spread. Double-digit point spreads are notoriously difficult to cover, but one of those underdogs won outright (Browns), and another was damn close (Giants).

I don’t want to spoil my picks this week, but I’ve went heavy on the points. I feel like there is money to be made on the underdogs this week. I would even suggest betting the moneyline on a few ‘dogs this weekend.

2023 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 against the spread in Week 5.

I’ve been hovering around .500 for the last two weeks. I’m still trying to get a feel for a few teams and the recent injuries aren’t helping me.

We have some stars that won’t be playing for awhile. Vikings WR Justin Jefferson and Colts rookie QB Anthony Richardson both landed on injured-reserve this week. The Vikings are still in decent shape at receiver, but his loss will still hurt. The Colts have one of the best backup QBs in the league and I expect the Colts to stay afloat with QB Gardner Minshew and the returning RB Jonathan Taylor.

2023 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread in Week 3.

I finally recorrected and was able to put together a positive week. I think we are finally starting to figure out which teams were overrated to start the year.

This could be my last ‘bare bones’ NFL article going forward. The break was very positive for my overall health and just adjusting to the loss of my longtime pet, and adding a new one to my life, has went well so far.

2023 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 1

How are you feeling about your team before Week 1?

Did you play it safe with your picks or did you take some risks with some young talent?

There are a lot of question marks at quarterback right now. Will the three rookie starting quarterbacks struggle early in their careers? Can Patriots QB Mac Jones do enough early in the year to keep Coach Belichick happy?

Will any Detroit Lions shine in their opener against the Chiefs?

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.
