2024 College Football: All-Name Team

This is one of my favorite posts to do every year, but due to a death in the family last year, I was unable to make a list last season. I found a bunch of fresh names, and some long time favorites.

What makes a great college football name?

A good litmus test is if it works as a potential pro wrestling name, it works in college football. It also works if a name sounds like a verb, phrase, a certain body part or just a bad ass football name that makes them sound tough.

We went through every team in the top two divisions in the NCAA. We went through ever single name and picked out the ones that were funny and some names we just wish we had.

2023 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I had another subpar performance with a 11-13-1 record.

I was on fire the first couple weeks of the college football season, but I’ve had back-to-back weeks of under .500 performance. I needed to pivot off a few teams and I paid the price. I was glad I went heavy on Notre Dame last week, so I still ended up slightly ahead.

Can Ohio State take care of business at home against Penn State?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 8 of the 2023-24 NCAA Football season (October 21st, 2023).

2023 NCAA Football – Week 1 Betting Picks Against Spread

College Football season is here, guys!

We once again saw a vast amount of changes in college football thanks to the transfer portal. It no longer takes a team two or three years to rebuild thanks to the new transfer rules.

We already saw a few games last weekend and former Wake Forest QB Sam Hartman led Notre Dame to a blowout win over Navy. It’s just one of the new players that will make big impact in their team debut.

Can Duke upset Clemson on Monday night?

2022 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I went 14-11 against the spread during Week 5 of the college football season.

We have some noteworthy Big 12 games this week. We should know a lot about the layout of the conference after Saturday. TCU plays Kansas (both surprisingly undefeated) and Texas faces Oklahoma.

Will TCU take care of business on the road or will Kansas continue their Cinderella run this season?

2022 College Football: All-Name Team

This is one of my favorite posts to do every year, but due to all the knowns about the college football season at this point last year, we didn’t compile a list. We are happy to bring this back this year and debut some new names.

2021 NBA Draft – Best Undrafted Players

The 2021 NBA Draft is two rounds and consists of just 60 picks, so not every good college basketball player will hear his name called. Many NBA teams opt to select players with a higher upside and some of those picks are foreign players they wish to just stash overseas.

There are still some very good players left to sign, but with another short offseason, they may not get as many opportunities to get noticed as in previous years.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Bryn Forbes won an NBA title this year and he went undrafted back in 2016.

This is not the end of the road for these players. There are many undrafted players in the NBA, so a few of these guys will still make their dreams come true in the future.

Here are the best undrafted players not selected in the 2021 NBA Draft.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 7 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-12 against the spread last week.

Colleges are still struggling with COVID-19 outbreaks and a few games have already been cancelled/postponed from this weekend’s slate. As of Friday, all of the games I’ve picked are still scheduled to be played, but with positive numbers shooting up, it could still change.

The biggest game this weekend is Georgia at Alabama. It’s a shame that the Tide should be without head coach due to a positive COVID-19 test since this game will play such a huge factor in the SEC landscape.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 7 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (October 17th, 2020).

2020 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 with my college football picks last week.

We still don’t have a full slate of potential games this week, but we do see some Big 12 teams joining the ACC and small conference teams.

Notre Dame failed to cover last week against Duke. The Irish face South Florida on Saturday and face an even larger point spread. Can they bounce back and beat South Florida by 26 points?

Not all the games have betting lines as of this writing, but we did find 18 games with betting lines.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick all 18 college football games against the spread in Week 3 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (September 19th, 2020).

2020 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

This will be the weirdest college football season of all-time.

We have some of the teams starting now, some starting in a month and the rest delaying until early-2021 or completely until the next ‘football season.’ Let’s just hope the next couple weeks goes off without a huge outbreak and we can enjoy college football again.

There are a few must-watch ACC games this week. It’s strange to already have ACC conference games in early-September…but everything about this season will be weird.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick all 14 college football games (with betting lines) against the spread in Week 2 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (September 12th, 2020).

2019 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I apologize for getting my college football picks out this late, but my hosting company decided to migrate thousands of sites to larger servers…and didn’t get an email telling me this was going to happen. After it was moved, I had to call the security company that protects my site. The hosting company didn’t tell them the new IP address of the server and they had to add that manually. So, after 30 hours of random back-and-forth calls, it’s now fixed.

There are some huge games this week that could knock off a few conference championship contenders. Iowa vs Michigan and Auburn vs Florida are two must-watch games this week.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 6 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (October 5th,, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-10-1 against the spread last week.

The college football landscape looks and feels a little different now that we saw the outcome of the Georgia/Notre Dame and Wisconsin/Michigan games. We can probably write off Michigan being any sort of Big Ten championship contender after that poor performance.

We are also making a shortlist of potential Heisman candidates. No one is running away with it yet, but conference play is just getting started. We should be able to cross off a few guys after this week.

‘America’s White Boy’ 2018 NBA Mock Draft

The 2018 NBA Draft is top-heavy, but there is a plethora of two-guards that could be had late in the first round that are good enough to be stick around in the league for many years.

This year’s draft takes place next week on June 21st, but it looks like the first pick in the draft is already off the board. The Phoenix Suns is expected to draft Arizona Wildcats center DeAndre Ayton. Many thought Slovenian star Luka Doncic or Duke’s Marvin Bagley III would have been the first off the board.

The NBA draft pool this year is full of players who made a name for themselves in the NCAA Tournament. Villanova could have as many as four players taken in the first round.

Here is the ‘America’s White Boy’ 2018 NBA Mock Draft.
