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 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6-2 against the spread last week.

I was glad to see a winning record again after two bland weeks. A couple teams that I had ranking high, but fell on their faces in the first couple games, are finally playing up to their talent level. I expect the Raiders and Bengals will have some tempting point spreads the next couple weeks.

We have a couple games with big question marks at quarterback. The Patriots look to be starting rookie QB Bailey Zappe and the Cowboys are currently unsure if QB Dak Prescott will be healthy enough to suit this week.

How will the Bengals fare against the Baltimore Ravens?

2022 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I went 13-11-1 against the spread during Week 4 of the college football season.

We broke the curse last week. Wake Forest’s Sam Hartman did not lose against the spread or get injured, so I don’t feel guilty using a picture of Kansas QB Jalon Daniels this week.

We have a lot of games pitting perfect teams against each other. There are a lot of bloated records due to cupcake opponents in September, so we will know the talent level of a lot of teams after this week.

Is Kansas legit or will they crash and burn when they face good Big 12 teams?

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?

2022 NCAA Football – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I went 14-11 against the spread during Week 3 of the college football season.

We continued the long streak of futility by putting a Will Rogers up on last week’s post. When player’s photo is featured on my college football picks, their team either loses or they get injured. I need to apologize in advance to Wake Forest’s Sam Hartman.

How will Florida fare against a great Tennessee team?

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?

2022 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I went 16-8-1 against the spread during Week 2 of the college football season.

I almost feel bad adding a picture of Mississippi State QB WIll Rogers on this post. I haven’t added it up, but there is a long streak of futility that I need to mention. When player’s photo is featured on my college football picks, their team either loses or they get injured. That being said, I may need to apologize to Quinn Ewers for last week’s inclusion.

Notre Dame and Texas A&M bother suffered stunning upsets last week. Will they bounce back this weekend?

2022 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

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

I had a good overall record after the early games, but some late comebacks in the late games threw me back down to around .500 for the week.

There were some surprises in Week 1 that affected my team rankings this preseason. I don’t think the Colts are as good as I expected, and the Commanders had some moments last week that surprised me, in a good way.

Will Packers QB Aaron Rodgers figure out life without former wide receiver Davante Adams?

Can Bengals QB Joe Burrow bounce-back from last week’s poor outing?

2022 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I went 12-12-1 against the spread during Week 1 of the college football season.

I felt good about my picks, but got unlucky when a few 50/50 balls didn’t go my way and it affected a couple scores. I feel that my personal preseason rankings was fairly accurate, but they had to be adjusted after Week 1.

Texas better hope that my photo streak ends, because the last few college football players I featured in the cover photo have failed to cover against the spread. I feel pretty good that Quinn Ewers can keep it relatively close against Alabama.

2022 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 155-129-6 against the spread last season. I hope this season will be a little less erratic with pandemic issues. We’ve had a good run of late, so let’s hope a new variant doesn’t pop up and screw up a bunch of games this Fall.

There was a huge turnover with starting quarterbacks this offseason. A lot of new faces in new places. Will any of these veteran quarterbacks turn back the clock and play like their peak?

How will Trey Lance, Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence fare in Year 2?

Can Tua Tagovailoa take a big leap and lead the Dolphins to a successful year?

2022 NCAA Football – Week 1 Betting Picks Against Spread

College Football season is here, guys!

This year feels a little more like college football is officially back from the ‘Pandemic Era.’ I could be speaking a little early, but we aren’t inundated with player news surrounding testing results. It feels nice and I can’t wait to watch so many of these games.

We once again saw a ton of quarterbacks change teams thanks to the transfer portal. You may want to research who will be quarterbacking your team this season, because it could have changed. Quarterbacks like JT Daniels (West Virginia) and Dillon Gabriel (Oklahoma) could be game-changing additions.

Will Ohio State cover against Notre Dame?

Super Bowl 56 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 56 is this Sunday and it’s a prop bets smorgasbord.

I LOVE prop bets. I actually get more joy out of betting Super Bowl prop bets than betting against the spread. Yes, most are a crap shoot, but with the right research, you can end up winning bets with very favorable odds.

I’m not saying you can research who will win the coin toss, but there are many other player and team prop bets out there that have nice odds.

Some prop bets aren’t worth the money (the juice isn’t worth the slight risk), but sometimes you just have to lay a few bucks down, cross your fingers and wish for the best.

I picked out some of the most popular prop bets for Super Bowl 55 (or Super Bowl LV for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.
