2022 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 155-129-6 against the spread last season. I hope this season will be a little less erratic with pandemic issues. We’ve had a good run of late, so let’s hope a new variant doesn’t pop up and screw up a bunch of games this Fall.

There was a huge turnover with starting quarterbacks this offseason. A lot of new faces in new places. Will any of these veteran quarterbacks turn back the clock and play like their peak?

How will Trey Lance, Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence fare in Year 2?

Can Tua Tagovailoa take a big leap and lead the Dolphins to a successful year?

2022 NFL Divisional Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-6 against the spread last week (and over/under picks).

We have a slate of four games this weekend and the point spreads predict that all four games should be pretty close, as all of them are under a touchdown.

The Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers had first-round byes and come into this week healthier. It looks like they could get some key players back from long absences. The biggest name would be Titans RB Derrick Henry, who led the league in rushing when he went down with a foot injury.

Can the Cincinnati Bengals upset the Titans?

2022 NFL Wild Card Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread last week.

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. 

There’s only one double-digit point spread this week, which is a far cry from some of recent Wild Card Weekends. The table is set for some close games this weekend.

Can the Chiefs cover the double-digit point spread over the Steelers?

We pick every NFL Wild Card Weekend game against the spread.

2021 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread last week. 

COVID-19 is still running roughshod through the NFL. The list of players in COVID protocol keeps growing every single day. Luckily, asymptomatic players should be able to get off the list faster than in previous weeks due to new guidelines.

I would suggest placing your bets on Saturday night to try to avoid surprises. I was lucky last week and my bets weren’t destroyed by new COVID cases. Last week, I placed my bets Wednesday evening and I wouldn’t advise that unless you want to lock in an advantageous point spread.

Can the Los Angeles Rams cover on the road against Baltimore?

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 17

We don’t have a Thursday game this week, so you will have a few extra days to tinker with your lineups.

I’ve been watching for new players placed on the COVID List, which haven’t been as fast and furious as this time last week. I still expect plenty of new names on the list by the kick-off this weekend. It really does throw a new wrench in fantasy football and sports betting.

Since the CDC reduced the amount of time asymptomatic people have to quarantine from ten to five, some of the names could be removed from the COVID list faster than in previous weeks.

Can Bengals QB Joe Burrow replicated his 525-yard performance he had against the Ravens?

2021 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Kirk Cousins dottedI went 9-4-1 against the spread last week. 

As of Wednesday evening, there are 90 NFL players on the COVID list. There are many key players that will miss this weekend’s games. I actually had a large chunk of this written on Tuesday, but as more and more names were placed on the list, I decided to wait an extra day to post my NFL betting picks. This could become the norm due to the variant’s infection rate.

Can the Patriots stop the Colts running game on Saturday?

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 15

We no longer have to deal with bye weeks and we will have a full slate of games through the rest of the regular season.

You may have a set roster now, but you could be in the market for some flex plays to stream every weeks. Also, due to the recent COVID outbreak, you may need to replace someone who will not be able to play this week.

Will Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes be able to dust off his arm and have a huge fantasy outing against the Los Angeles Chargers?

2021 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 against the spread last week. 

I had a rough week and by far the worst showing of the season. I had a couple close losses, but those are still big, fat L’s at the pay window.

We have a rough idea which teams are in the playoff race and which teams that could soon pack it in the for the season. We could still see a few surprises though.

This time last month, it looked like the Dolphins were in the race for the #1 overall pick, but they’ve now won four games in-a-row heading into this week.

Who will win the shootout between the Chargers and Bengals?

2021 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-5 against the spread last week. 

I’ve had a couple up and down weeks recently, so it was nice to have big week heading into Thanksgiving.

Historically, I’ve done very well on Thanksgiving. I’ve had multiple three-team parlays hit over the years and I once had a streak of twelve-straight covers over the course of three Thanksgivings.

I hope I didn’t just jinx myself for bringing that up.

Can the Colts cover at home against Tom Brady?

2021 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Jordan Howard dottedI went 6-8 against the spread last week. 

I’ve had a couple rough weeks after a strong first-half of the season. It was time to pivot and move around some of my personal team rankings.

After a week full of double-digit spreads, we only have two on the docket this week. It is a welcomed change as double-digit NFL spreads can be hard to handicap.

The Cowboys/Chiefs game is the marquee contest this week. Both teams are coming off blowout wins. Can the Chiefs cover at home?

2021 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Baker Mayfield late 2019 dottedI went 7-7 against the spread last week. The late games on Sunday bailed me out or the week would have been a disaster.

We have had back-to-back weird weeks in the NFL. Hell, the Jets and Jaguars are playing pretty well right now, so that’s weird in itself.

We have five double-digit point spreads this week. The favorites have actually covered more double-digit spreads than they’ve failed this season.

Will the Bills rebound from last week’s close win over the Jaguars and cover against the Jets?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 against the spread last week. It was my first week under .500 this season. The late games really did a number on me.

The first week of Autumn weather always brings weird outcomes. Let’s hope last week’s strange games is a one-week occurrence.

There are some games with large point spreads on Thursday night and early Sunday, but the games tighten up during the late games.

Can Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shake off his interceptions streak this week against the Packers?
