2020 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread last week.

We are starting to get some much-needed information to become more informed bettors. The issue this week comes from all the injuries that occurred to important players. There are a lot more unknowns than I was expecting this week.

There are a few players out there that could be game-time decisions this week. Some reports say that Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo could play on Sunday. Keep an eye on injury reports this week for updates.

Can Seattle QB Russell Wilson lead the Seahawks to a cover against the Cowboys?

2020 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread last week.

I really don’t want to go through picking NFL games against the spread in Week 1 without a single preseason game ever again. It was a tall task and I’ll take the 11-5 record as a personal victory.

Do you guys think home teams have much of an advantage this season? There are limited fans and the whole situation is weird for both teams. The travel aspect is a huge factor though. I am curious to see the final home records at the end of the year to see how it all shakes out.

Can Jacksonville QB Gardner Minshew III lead the Jaguars to back-to-back covers against AFC South teams?

2019 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I really don’t want to talk about last week. I’d rather just skip straight to my stellar college football picks, but since I’m transparent as hell, I was only 3-8-2 last week. It was my worst NFL betting week in more than a decade. It was just one of those weeks where nothing went right and my reads were off.

I feel much better about this week’s picks. There were some upsets last week and Vegas got the best of many of us, so you can’t hang your head about it.

There are a few starting quarterbacks that are coming back from injuries this week. Can Nick Foles get the win in his return for the Jaguars?

2019 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 8-6 against the spread with my picks last week.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are on byes this week. There are 14 NFL games on the betting schedule in Week 7.

There are still only two unbeaten teams left in the NFL. The Patriots and 49ers put their records on the line this week. As far as the winless teams go, one was eliminated last week when the Redskins by the Dolphins.We are now just left with the Dolphins and Bengals.

Will either winless team get their first dub this week?

2019 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 7-8 against the spread with my picks last week.

The Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, Oakland Raiders and the Buffalo Bills are on byes this week, which means there are two less games to bet on.

We are down to only two unbeaten teams this season…and four teams that have yet to win a game. Will any of these teams get rid of the zero in their records this week?

The Redskins and Dolphins face off this week in a game between two teams still looking for their first win on the year. Which team will end their drought on Sunday?

2019 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

The first week of the 2019 NFL regular season is in the book. I finished 8-8 against the spread with my picks. I wasn’t burned too much by late-game comebacks as much as most as my picks mostly benefited from the late-game heroics last week.

A few young players had breakout games last week. Ravens QB Lamar Jackson had a perfect passer rating and shut up critics that he can only scramble. Can he continue the same success against the Cardinals this week?

Can the Patriots cover a massive -18.5 point spread against the brutal Dolphins?

2018 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-6 against the spread last week.

Week 17 hasn’t been very eventful the last couple of years. There wasn’t even worth a flex last year and there wasn’t a game on Sunday Night Football.

The Colts/Titans game was flexed to Sunday night this year. The winner of that game will earn a playoff spot. If the Texans lose to the Jaguars, the Colts or Titans could win the AFC South with a win.

There are currently only two teams that are locked into their spots in the playoffs (Saints & Cowboys). Every other spot is up for grabs, so this week will be worth your time.

2018 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread last week.

Week 16 usually has a ton of stinkers on the schedule, but there are some interesting games being played this weekend…and thankfully there isn’t a Thursday game on the schedule.

This week isn’t completely void of potential blowouts as there are a handful of double-digit point spreads…which are pretty darn difficult to cover in the National Football League.

The Ravens, Titans and Colts are battling for the final Wild Card spot in the AFC. Will any of these teams choke this weekend?

2018 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread last week.

I may have went .500 last week, but I did personally benefit from Raiders and Dolphins moneyline bets. I didn’t bet a ton on those underdog moneylines, but it put me in the black for the weekend.

It’s time to start figuring out if a team still has anything left to play for this season. All the potential playoff teams haven’t clinched a specific seed yet, so there aren’t any that are resting their guys (but it could happen next week).

Also, teams like the Raiders, who will not benefit from a win, are still playing hard (see: last week’s win). Don’t automatically go against a team that you feel is tanking. There are 53 guys on that team still playing for another paycheck next season.

2018 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-5-1 against the spread last week.

I’ve historically done very well on Thanksgiving. I’ve been perfect the last two Turkey Days. I’ve at least went 2-1 every year for as long as I can remember. I’ve just been able to find value with these lines.

…and I hope I didn’t just jinx it.

There are fifteen games on the schedule for the first time in awhile. This is the final week for byes, so we are going back to a sixteen game schedule next week.

Will Matthew Stafford lay an egg on Thanksgiving?

2018 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-5-1 against the spread last week.

I started out 0-2 against the spread, but went 8-2-1 after the London game ended on Sunday. I really needed that.

It might be time to abandon a team or jump on the bandwagon on a team that has struggled against the spread. Market corrections are coming soon for some of these teams.

Can Jacksonville QB Blake Bortles make a huge turnaround and keep his starting job? He will need a huge performance in London.

2018 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 8

The trade deadline is approaching and fantasy values of some players will change. Since they moved the deadline back a few years ago, ‘out of contention’ teams have looked to unload players for future picks.

There are still some pretty significant injuries again affecting teams this week. QB Deshaun Watson, RB LeSean McCoy and RB Marshawn Lynch are the new-ish names on the list.

Can the Cincinnati Bengals fantasy stars do some damage against the weak Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass defense?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 8 of the 2018 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green
