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 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?

2021 NCAA Football – Week 13 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-13 against the spread last week.

We’ve made it to Rivalry Week. This is the final week with a full slate of games.

This weekend, Ohio State and Michigan meet for the 117th time.. Both teams are coming off blowout wins and Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud could leapfrog a few Heisman contenders with big performance in a marquee game.

Can Oklahoma State cover against rival Oklahoma on Saturday?

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 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I didn’t have a good outcome against the spread last week.

I finished 11-14, by far the worst week I’ve had in a couple years. I want to chalk it up to having to pick 25 games from maybe 30 possible games. I usually pick the best 25 games out of maybe 50+ games on a full normal week. I can omit some games that are a bit too close to call. I don’t have that luxury this season, but that should change once some of the other conferences start to play later this Fall.

The marquee game of the week is Miami (FL) at Clemson. Can the Hurricanes upset the #1-ranked Tigers?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-10-1 with my college football picks last week.

The SEC kicked off last week and there were some teams that separated themselves from the pack. Mississippi State upset LSU in their debut. MSU head coach Mike Leach made the rest of the SEC aware that his air raid offense can do some damage in the conference.

The marquee game of the week is Auburn versus Georgia. The winner could jump into the top-three in the rankings.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6 with my college football picks last week.

It is starting to feel like college football has returned. The SEC officially kicks off their schedule this week.

LSU lost a lot of talent to the NFL following their National Championship win. Did they recruit enough talent for another run at the trophy?

We will see the debut of a few new head coaches this week. Can Mississippi State’s Mike Leach implement his air raid offense and have success Day 1 in the SEC?

2017 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 19-10-1 last week. My strategy of staying away from Pac 12 games paid off. I did end up picking one…and lost. I don’t know what it is about that conference, but I have little confidence in my handicapping ability in the Pac 12 this season. I’ve done very well with the conference in the past, but I (sort of) know when to throw in the towel. I STILL ended up picking a Pac 12 game again this week…I just couldn’t help myself.

Last week’s experiment of picking 30 games worked in my favor. I picked an additional five games this week as well. It made my attempt at avoiding the Pac 12 rather difficult.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 30 college football games against the spread in Week 12 of the NCAA Football season (November 18th, 2017). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2017 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished around .500 last week against the spread. I had trouble in the early games, but the late games bailed me out. There were some unexpected outcomes that I thought came out of nowhere. I thought Penn State and Florida would both cover the spread easy, but Iowa and Kentucky held on tight. I did call the NC State upset over Florida State, so I scored some jellybeans from the moneyline.

A few things I took away from last week was that Georgia is better than I thought, Oklahoma State isn’t bulletproof and USC QB Sam Darnold is still in the middle of a sophomore slump.

Now that it is in the fifth week of college football. Everyone is deep in their conference schedule. A lot more empirical data to use due to more head-to-head history,

Will USC QB Sam Darnold snap out of his slump against Washington State?

2017 NCAA Football – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 15-10 last week against the spread. I was skating around the point spreads all over the place. I won a few games by a point or two and also lost them by small margins. Vegas really hit the nail on the head on quite a few games last week.

Now that it is in the fourth week of college football, do you think we know these teams? No, it all changes this week with most of the games being conference games.

A new wrinkle starts to unfold when teams begin to face familiar opponents. We have past data, but past history only goes so far in college football since there is a fast turnover rate.

How will USC QB Sam Darnold fare against Cal’s upgraded defense?

2016 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I wrote last week’s college football betting picks still glowing from a Chicago Cubs World Series championship. I wrote these picks in an indifferent mood following an exhausting election cycle.

I finished 12-13 last week after betting against some large point spreads. I whiffed because many big spreads covered last week.

The best betting advice I can give someone at this point in the season is if you don’t have a good ‘feel’ for a team or have missed on a lot of bets on a certain team, abandon them. If you don’t, you’ll just be chasing your own tail trying to break even.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick against the spread for all the big college football games on Saturday (November 12th, 2016) and a few Thursday games. We also pick five extra games as a bonus.

2016 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 15-9-1 last week and felt pretty good about a few of my moneyline suggestions as well.

I don’t expect weather to be an issue this weekend. It might be the first official ‘Fall Weather’ football game for most of the Midwest though. I don’t think that really bothers anyone at all.

I’m really looking forward to the Texas A&M/Alabama game this weekend. There are some dominoes that need to fall during the season and one will fall in this battle between unbeaten teams.
