2026 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-8-1 in the sixth week of the 2026 NFL season.

Had a rough week, but hopefully we can bounce-back and string together a few winning weeks in-a-row. I’ve been pretty darn good with my college football picks, but need to get it together with the NFL.

The Colts fired their long-time general manager after losing to the lowly Titans. If they don’t right the ship in a hurry, they could be sellers by the trade deadline.

Can the Kansas City Chiefs win outright on the road against the Seahawks?

2026 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Leave a reply

I went 7-8 in the fifth week of the 2026 NFL season.

We saw a couple unexpected blow-outs last week. The Bears were able to not only tread water, but they were excelling with their backup quarterbacks. That ended last week with a big loss. It appears that QB Caleb Williams is on track to play this week.

I think the Commanders is one more embarrassing moment away from firing their head coach and becoming sellers at the deadline. They may already be sellers, but last week’s goof that turn into a tie should have been a fireable offense.

Can the Cleveland Browns keep it close at home against the Baltimore Ravens?

2026 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 in the fourth week of the 2026 NFL season.

I finally got my first dub against the spread on a Thursday night game this year. It was long overdue.

Not that we are roughly a quarter of the season under out belts, we are starting to see which teams are better than expected – and some stinkers. The Jaguars have been a nice surprise so far. They have been a streaky team in the past. Let’s hope they can keep this up.

Can the Atlanta Falcons stay hot at home against the Baltimore Ravens?

2026 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 in the third week of the 2026 NFL season.

I think I’m 0-3 on Thursday Night Football games. I have historically done very well on those – not this year.

The Atlanta Falcons played pretty darn good with QB Michael Penix back. They face a much improved Saints team on Monday Night Football this week.

Caleb Williams had to sit out last week do to a hamstring injury that occurred in Week 2. Case Keenum turned back the clock and was impressive in last week’s win.

How will the Giants look without QB Jaxson Dart?

2026 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 in the second week of the 2026 NFL season.

I start out rough, ended rough, but was near-perfect in the middle.

It’s always bad when one of the worst teams in the league (Atlanta) is featured in one of the Primetime games. I guess we are lucky they aren’t playing against the lowly Dolphins.

Can the Saints keep up their improved play this week? Will Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) be fully-healed by Monday night?

2026 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 in the first week of the 2026 NFL season.

I feel like there weren’t many surprises in Week 1.

The question mark about the health of the left knee of Patrick Mahomes…it was more than fine.

Was it a huge mistake for the Rams to travel to Australia the day of the game? Yes, of course, a big, big mistake.

Are the New York Jets still garbage? Yes, but the Titans are even more of a dumpster fire.

Can the Bills open their new stadium with a win and cover on Thursday Night Football?

2026 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I’m excited for the start of football season. I think this will be a fun year.

Are you prepared for the season? It feels awfully sudden, but it always feels that way for me.

This will be a make-it-or-break-it year for many current quarterbacks. The next draft is absolutely stacked with quality quarterback prospects. Which quarterbacks will have a Daniel Jones-like season to resurrect their careers?

Can the Bears make a huge leap and be a great betting team?

2025 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-5-1 in Week 15 of the NFL football season.

We have three games on Christmas Day this year. The NFL is putting the screws to the NBA, who once dominated the holiday.

I am fighting my way back to avoid my first losing season in all the years I’ve been posting my picks against the spread. Last week’s games helps close the deficit to just three games. That can easily be made up with two more of the regular season and the playoffs left.

We have a pair of new third-string quarterbacks taking the ball this week. The Commanders and Chiefs will both have new faces under center.

Can the Bears clinch the NFC North?

2025 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 in Week 15 of the NFL football season.

I was extraordinarily late posting my picks, so I wasn’t able to pick the Thursday night game, so I only had 15 picks last week.

I need some big weeks to climb back and avoid my first-ever below .500 season since I started doing this many years ago.

We have some changes at quarterback this week, so there are a few tough games to handicap on the schedule.

2025 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 in Week 14 of the NFL football season.

I was extraordinarily late posting my picks, so I was unable to post my Thursday Night Football pick in time for the game.

We have some strange teams battling for their playoff lives right now. The Chiefs, Ravens and Bills could see their playoff hopes take a huge dive with losses this week. Those teams are usually on cruise control for their division crown, or at least have a lead to do so.

2025 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Due to some server maintenance issues, I missed my first week of football picks in over a decade. I hope you guys had a profitable Thanksgiving week.

I think there is some value in this week’s NFL betting lines. We have a few hot teams that aren’t getting much respect. The Bears are on fire, but are nearly a touchdown underdog against the Packers.

There are some good teams facing uphill battles to earn a playoff spot. Can the 6-6 Kansas City Chiefs make a run?

2025 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-2 against the spread during the tenth week of the 2025 NFL season.

The betting lines were extremely close to the actual outcomes last week. We will start to see this more as sportsbooks and bettors are dialing in on teams.

We saw some injuries at quarterback the last few weeks, The Falcons lost QB Michael Penix for the year, and Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers broke his wrist. On the flipside, the Giants will get rookie QB Jaxson Dart back from concussion.
