2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 7

There are loads of top-tier fantasy football talent out on bye this week.

The Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams, Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles all have the week off.

It’s rare to see a bye week this loaded, as these four teams have some of most talented players in fantasy. You could be in the market to replace WR Justin Jefferson, QB Jalen Hurts, QB Josh Allen or WR A.J. Brown, which are all tall tasks.

Can Daniel Jones be a viable fantasy quarterback against the Jaguars?

2022 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread last week.

We will see the first London game of the year, which are usually horribly-played games. I think the underdogs have won most of those games and expect a low-scoring affair.

The Raiders are 0-3 outright and against the spread right now. I thought they could be a potential playoff team at the start of the year. There is still a lot of football left to play. Can the Raiders turn this season around with a cover this week?

How will the Jaguars fare against the Philadelphia Eagles?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 4 of the 2022 NFL season.

2022 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread last week.

This week’s NFL betting picks was up later than I usually like due to attending an Alice Cooper concert on Tuesday and being in a Nyquil haze due to a lingering cough. It was a good time and I suggest seeing his show while he’s still out there.

There are a few surprise 2-0 teams against the spread right now. No one thought the New York Giants would be among that group, and the Detroit Lions occupy that space as well.

Can the Giants and Lions continue their hot betting streak?

2021 NFL Week 18 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-9-2 against the spread last week.

Due to kidney stone issues, I had to forego my weekly fantasy football sit/start content. If you have any specific sit/start questions, feel free to send an email to BobbyMcRib@gmail.com.

I usually write around 3,000 words in my weekly NFL betting picks column, but this week will be abbreviated due to my overall discomfort.

The final week of the NFL season is always a gamble as teams play coy about the playing status of their key players.

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 Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-6 against the spread last week.

COVID-19 is running rampant in NFL locker rooms right now. I had to delay my betting picks by a day last week just due to the flood of names coming in. I had to delay it again this week due to games being pushed back to Tuesday night.

I fully expect some more game-changing names to land in COVID protocols by this weekend. I fear it will be like this until the Super Bowl.

Will the Buccaneers bounce-back from a shut-out loss?

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.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 13

I had a rough week with my betting picks, but my fantasy picks were some of my best recommendations this season.

The Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers are all out on bye this week.

There aren’t a ton of top fantasy performers out this week, so you may not want to tinker with your lineup a ton. We suggest a few deeper league options this week to help those fantasy owners.

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?

Turkey Day is finally here!

2021 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I 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 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.
