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

I killed it in the early games on Saturday (again), but the late games really beat me up. I was 10-3 after the early games, but the Pac-12 games did me dirty.

There are some big Big Ten games this week. We will know if Penn State and Maryland are contenders after this week.

Can Notre Dame rebound from their home loss to Cincinnati last week?

Casey Thompson Texas LonghornsI went 14-11 against the spread last week.

I killed it in the early games on Saturday (again), but the late games really beat me up. I was 8-2 after the early games, so the late ones spanked me around.

Can Wisconsin rebound from their embarrassing blowout loss last week?

Can Cincinnati knock off Notre Dame in South Bend?

Can Kentucky Basketball Recover This Season?

The University of Kentucky’s record currently sits at 1-2, with back-to-back losses to Richmond and Kansas. They looked impressive in their opener with an 81-45 win over Morehead State, but that will now be forgotten thanks to this slide.

Kentucky head coach John Calipari has been able to turnover his roster most years thanks to elite recruiting classes he’s been able to sign. A handful of players go pro and a new elite class takes their spots. This season is an extreme example of that. Nearly every single player who is getting minutes right now, is new to the team. There are a ton of freshmen and transfers like center Olivier Sarr (Wake Forest) and guard Davion Mintz (Creighton) and forward Jacob Toppin (Rhode Island).

2020 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-9 against the spread last week.

As of Thursday afternoon, there have been 14 college football games wither cancelled or postponed due to COVID-19. My guess is that there will be a couple more cancelled before Saturday.

The marquee game this week is Indiana at Ohio State. Can the Hoosiers shock the country and stay undefeated?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-10-1 against the spread last week.

If you’ve been going hard on underdog moneylines in the Big Ten this season, you probably have enough for a gold boat right now. I think the point spreads have corrected quite a bit since teams like Penn State and Michigan are seeing single-digit point spreads now.

I didn’t notice any glaring point spread miscues in the Pac 12 last week. I think bettors handicapped those teams pretty well. I think they are still a little light on Washington State, but we will see after this week’s game against Oregon.

The marquee game this week is Wisconsin at Michigan. Can the Wolverines avoid starting the year 1-3?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 11 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (November 14th, 2020).

2020 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I  went 12-13 against the spread last week.

I’ve been struggling the last three weeks with my college football picks. I thought the addition of Big Ten games to the schedule would fix my string of bad luck, but nope! Penn State, Michigan State and Iowa all shit the bed in their debuts.

I was impressed by a few Big Ten players last week. Michigan QB Joe Milton didn’t need to showcase much in their win over Minnesota, but he could do some damage with his size and athleticism. I was having Cam Newton flashbacks last weekend.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I  went 11-12 against the spread last week.

I’m glad to see more potential college football games on the schedule. It was tough gathering 25 games to pick when there were barely 25 games on the schedule.

Big Ten and Mountain West teams are making their season debuts this week. This will add a dozen games to the schedule with a few other conferences due to start in the coming weeks.

Can Ohio State start to receive first-place votes in the polls with a big win against Nebraska?

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).

2019 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

2019-College-Football-Picks-Against-the-Spread-Week-3-NCAA-Iowa-Hawkeyes-cheerleadersI started off strong this year and but just went 12-12-1 against the spread last week.

The key to staying hot while betting college football game is to not get too bogged down on the last week’s games. It’s important to stick with your own personal rankings and know when to bail on a team. Well, after the first couple weeks of the season, it is about time to think about jumping off a bandwagon. There won’t be much value on teams that are perceived to be unbeatable. You may have another week or two to ride them before the value disappears.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 3 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (September 14th,, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

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.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished under .500 last weekend, but came out even after hitting on two upset moneyline plays.

It’s time to really adjust your rankings. Teams are now all in conference play and it’s important to remember non-conference game performance.

Also, it’s important to note that you can’t just look at a team’s past performance against a conference foe. There is a ton of data out there, but a lot of it is bad data. The turnover rate is too high in college football and most teams will not have certain impact players still at their school.

There are some traditional marquee games this weekend, like Ohio State at Penn State and Stanford at Notre Dame that should be fun television.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 5 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (September 29th, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.

‘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.
