2025 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-2 against the spread during the tenth week of the 2025 NFL season.

The betting lines were extremely close to the actual outcomes last week. We will start to see this more as sportsbooks and bettors are dialing in on teams.

We saw some injuries at quarterback the last few weeks, The Falcons lost QB Michael Penix for the year, and Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers broke his wrist. On the flipside, the Giants will get rookie QB Jaxson Dart back from concussion.

2025 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7 against the spread during the seventh week of the 2025 NFL season.

We have a light schedule this week with six teams on a bye week.

There are quite a few games dealing with notable injuries at quarterback that could affect betting lines the closer we get to Sunday.

The major injury status to keep an eye on is Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, who just returned to practice, but as of Thursday morning, his status is up in the air for their game against the Bears.

2025 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 against the spread during the sixth week of the 2025 NFL season.

I got the panted beat off me last week. It was by far the worst week I’ve had against the spread, in the NFL or college football.

We have almost another full slate of games this week, with only two teams on bye.

2025 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 against the spread during the fifth week of the 2025 NFL season.

I started out very rough with the early games, but was able to run the table on the afternoon games.

Last week, we saw a lot of outright upsets against perennial powerhouses. The Eagles, Bills and Chiefs all went down, which probably hasn’t happened in the same week in a long time.

2025 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

kyler murray dotted finalI went 7-9 against the spread during the fourth week of the 2025 NFL season.

I started out pretty rough with the early games, but nearly caught up with the late games on Sunday. I split the Monday night games, so I came up a game short of .500.

This is the start of the bye weeks, so we have four teams on bye. We also have a lame early-Sunday game in London, which have largely been dull outings.

Will the Lions cover a double-digit spread against the Joe Burrow-less Bengals?

2025 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 2

How did your fantasy draft hold up after Week 1? Did any of your late-round sleepers pay off?

There weren’t any new quarterback darlings in fantasy football after the opening week. We did get some possible post-hype sleepers like Daniel Jones play very well in his Colts debut.

There were some rookie wide receivers that made some noise right away. It appears that is the position we could see some new long-term fantasy studs, like Carolina’s Tetairoa McMillan.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals

2024 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a rough 8-7-1 record against the spread in Week 16.

First off, to have a Wednesday afternoon game this late in the season is just psychotic. Teams like to keep things more secret this time of the year. It’s insanely difficult to handicap games on Tuesday night for games that mostly happen on Sunday.

We have games nearly every single day from Christmas Day through Sunday. I’m not sure if I want these Christmas Day games to be a hit or not since games will end up on Tuesdays and Wednesday a few times each decade.

2024 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a rough 11-5 record against the spread in Week 15.

It was nice to have a rebound after a couple weeks of middling results. I feel like there was value in many of the betting lines last week.

We have a few more double-digit point spreads this week Don’t get too comfortable now that a 17-point spread covered last week. Double-digit point spreads are still a tough cover in the NFL.

2024 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6 against the spread in Week 12.

I’ve historically been outstanding on Thanksgiving. I’m always scared of jinxing myself by pointing this out every year. It’s worked out so far, so if I miss, it’s my fault.

Due to injuries, there are only two solid games on Thanksgiving. I would call the Giants/Cowboys game a complete skip for me. I just have no desire to watch Tommy Cutlets, or Tim Boyle, or Drew Lock vs Cooper freaking Rush duke it out while I digest food.

2024 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread in Week 8.

I was up and down all week and finally finished even last weekend. The betting lines were close overall, but they should probably start to jack up the Detroit Lions point spreads.

We have 15 games on the schedule this week. It’s still a rather full slate of games, which seems odd for this time of the year.

Now that we are at the halfway point in the year, we can look back and see which teams were undervalued to begin the season. The Broncos top that list, as we didn’t factor in their easy early-season schedule.

2024 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread in Week 4.

I had a rough start to my NFL bets as I was 2-8 after the early game session on Sunday. Thankfully, I nearly ran perfect with the remainder of the games to save my bankroll.

We have some fun games on the schedule with Baltimore at Cincinnati and Buffalo at Houston are the marquee games of the week. Those almost makes up for forcing a part of the country to sit through Las Vegas at Denver (ugh!).

2024 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7-1 against the spread in Week 2.

After a big Week 1, my picks struggled in the late afternoon games on Sunday. I did manage to hit on one of my parlays, so I was still in the black for the week.

The Minnesota Vikings are currently undefeated and host the Houston Texans this Sunday. Can they continue to buck the trend and start the year 3-0 with Sam freakin’ Darnold at quarterback?
