2019 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-13 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

I really need to have back-to-back solid weeks with my college football picks. I’ll have a great week that is followed by one that’s around .500. I feel pretty good about my picks this week and to get back on track.

There are a handful of marquee games this weekend. Georgia at Florida might be the most relevant in the big picture when it comes to the College Football Playoff. I would even say that SMU at Memphis could even be seen as being more relevant as SMU is still undefeated this late into the year.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 10 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 2nd, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 10-5 against the spread with my picks last week.

I lost the Thursday game last week, but killed it in the early games on Sunday. I felt I made some smart picks in a week that saw a lot of close calls near the points spread.

I wanted to wait until Wednesday night to make my picks to the NFL trade deadline ending earlier this week. There weren’t any big trades and the teams are all roughly the same. I think the biggest trade may have been when the Dolphins traded RB Kenyan Drake to the Cardinals for a low draft pick…so it was a bland deadline.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-11 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

We are still waiting on that ‘Bizarro Betting Weekend’ we seem to get every year. It’s usually when the leaves start to change and we get a ton of upsets. Some of those upsets can be blamed on trap games or letdowns, but it hasn’t happened yet. Could it be this weekend?

There are a few big marquee games this weekend. Ohio State vs Wisconsin, Notre Dame vs Michigan and Auburn vs LSU are the three that I’ll definitely be watching on Saturday.

Which games will you be watching on Saturday?

2019 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

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

I struggled during the early games on Sunday, but did hit the rare trifecta of Primetime games (Thursday, Sunday and Monday). I needed those games to break even for the week.

The NFL trade deadline is October 29th. There have been a few trades that happened this week and chances are that a couple may still happen before this week’s slate of games. Keep an eye on the transactions and it could be smart to try and bet later in the week to avoid any possible blockbuster trades. My gut thinks the trades may be done for the week and next week will be the week where trades could screw up any early week bets.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 15-9-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

We are really in the heart of the conference schedules and we are seeing some big rivalry games pop up every weekend. The Penn State/Michigan game has a little extra importance this year since Michigan looks rather vulnerable.

There’s usually a really weird betting week that happens this time of the year. It seems like some weird things happen when seasons start to change and we get a slate of games full of upsets.

Will this be the Bizarro betting weekend?

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 NCAA Football – Week 7 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-12 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

I am really due for a big week as I’ve hovered around .500 for a few weeks in a row.

Their are two big games this weekend. Notre Dame hosts USC and Oklahoma faces Texas in the Cotton Bowl. You could even add Penn State at Iowa or Michigan State Wisconsin to the list, but I don’t see Michigan State as a potential Big Ten contender.

Will any of the top teams fall to an upset this weekend?

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?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 6 of the 2019 NFL season.

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 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

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

The Miami Dolphins are on bye week, but we still have our fair share of double-digit point spreads this week.

The Browns finally lived up to the hype last week when they beat the Ravens 40-25. They face the Niners on Monday Night and are actually 3.5-point underdogs. Can the Browns score an underdog win in the Bay Area?

Will any backup quarterbacks lead their teams to a cover this week?

Learn How to Read the Odds in the World of NFL

While many people want to think they can accurately predict how an NFL game will plat out, it’s not that easy. In fact, Forbes recognized that the NFL is more unpredictable than ever. For those who are wanting to enter the world of sports betting via the National Football League, you’ve got to know the basics. That’s why we covered them here!

Point-Spreads (A.K.A. Lines, Sides, & Spreads)

This is the most popular type of wager placed by people focused on wagering on NFL teams/games as they see it as the solution to putting the NFL odds in their favor. The bookie chooses the number. For example, probabilities could be represented as Dallas Cowboys +9.5 and New York Jets -9.5. In this case, the New York Jets are considered less likely to win and that they’ll lose by 10 points or more (since 9.5 has a half associated, it’s rounded up).

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.
