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?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 16 of the 2018 NFL season.

Making Money Through Online Gaming

We’re all looking for a simple and enjoyable way to make money. Generally speaking, we bring most of our cash in through a stable career that we don’t look forward to on a Monday morning. But it’s a good idea to bear in mind that there are other ways of making money out there! Whether this is generating some quick cash on the side of what we do full time or switching up our job roles to something that we enjoy a little more. If playing games online is your thing, bear in mind that you can make both quick cash and more long term earnings through doing what you love! Here’s a little more on the subject!

Making Some Quick Cash

Are Free Bets Legal?

It’s always interesting to see how much some humans enjoy the exhilaration of the unknown. For some reason, not knowing the outcome of something excites plenty of people and gives them a rush of a lifetime. Maybe that’s why betting is so much fun for many; they enjoy that feeling of staking your money on something without knowing the outcome. There’s a certain risk to it that all adrenaline junkies seek with their heart and soul. Of course, it doesn’t hurt either that you get to make the occasional buck out of being right, every now and then. For all its excitement, betting can turn sour if you start digging into that pension fund or college tuition fund for the kids. This is why many bookies resort to offering free bets for their clientele every now and then, but what exactly are they?

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 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread last week.

I’ve been traveling a lot this week and I haven’t had a ton of time to write up my fantasy football and NFL football picks against the spread. I have done a lot of research, but it has just come down to putting ‘pen to paper’ (or the equivalent of today’s technology).

I was unable to carve enough time to write up a fantasy football post this week, but I at least needed to post my betting picks. I wasn’t able to give any insight into my picks, but I put as much time in the picking the games as usual.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 12-12-1 against the spread (again) last week.

This is championship week!

There are a few regular season games being played this week as well due to Hurricanes and wildfires, but this is where the head coaches make their money. They need their players playing the best at the end of the season.

Nearly every team in the College Football Playoff contention are playing this week, could they fall prey to the ‘trap game’ by over-looking this week’s opponent?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick EVERY college football game against the spread in Week 14 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (December 1st, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2018 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6-1 against the spread last week.

I was a half-point away from going 3-0 against the spread for the third-straight year. Oh well, I ate a lot of turkey and took a nap during the Redskins/Cowboys game, so all was not lost.

We are back to a full sixteen-game slate through the rest of the season. A lot more writing to do every week and analysis to do, but college football regular season is ending, so it all evens out.

Can Baltimore Ravens rookie QB Lamar Jackson start his career with three-straight wins?

2018 NCAA Football – Week 13 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 14-11 against the spread last week.

There are huge rivalry games on the schedule this week.

Rivalry games can sometimes be difficult to handicap. The teams come in extra motivated and sometimes players have their own personal motivation (i.e. not getting a scholarship offer, growing up with a hatred of rival). There are just factors you can’t throw into a calculator and use in your decision-making process.

Also, this is ‘sort of’ the last week of the regular season. There are other games after this week, but this is the traditional end of the regular season for most college football teams…and weird stuff tends to happen this week.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 13 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (November, 24th, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.

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 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 12-12-1 against the spread (again) last week. I’m over .500 on the year, but I’ve had a ton of even stevens weeks this year.

2018 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-3-1 against the spread last week. I’ve went 18-6-1 over the last two weeks. This makes up for hovering around .500 in the first-half of the year.

I started the year off pretty bland, but I’m getting a better feel for the teams now. I just had to adjust my rankings a bit. Also, the half-point losses were a killer early this season. I’ve been on the right side of those the last month.

There are a few marquee games that could decide divisions (Minnesota at Chicago) and one that could be a Super Bowl preview (Kansas City at L.A. Rams).

2018 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 15-9-1 against the spread last week.

The college football playoff picture is more in focus after some big games last week. Georgia is basically on their way to the SEC Championship game after beating Kentucky. Also, Alabama made a huge statement in their shutout win against LSU.

There are some big Big Ten games this week with both Penn State and Ohio State having big games that could alter the conference title game picture.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 11 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (November, 10th, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.
