2022 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread last week.

I’ve been hovering around .500 nearly every week this season. I need a big week to break away. I feel pretty solid about my picks this week.

We have two less games on the schedule due to bye weeks. There are a lot of home underdogs this week, are you going to take the bait?

It looks like we could see a couple starting quarterbacks return this week. Patriots QB Mac Jones and Cowboys QB Dak Prescott have a shot to suit up this weekend. Also, Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa has a small chance of playing as well.

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 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 1

I’m so happy to have fantasy football back!

Hopefully we can make it throughout the season without having to track all of your fantasy team’s temperatures and testing statuses.

We have a lot of new faces in new places and the biggest is probably the cover boy this week, Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson. He is expected to have a big year, and uh, let’s ride!

The Bills and Rams kickoff the season on Thursday Night Football. Are there any sleepers on those teams this year?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Russell Wilson of the Denver Broncos.

2021 NFL Week 18 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-9-2 against the spread last week.

Due to kidney stone issues, I had to forego my weekly fantasy football sit/start content. If you have any specific sit/start questions, feel free to send an email to BobbyMcRib@gmail.com.

I usually write around 3,000 words in my weekly NFL betting picks column, but this week will be abbreviated due to my overall discomfort.

The final week of the NFL season is always a gamble as teams play coy about the playing status of their key players.

Which team will win home-field advantage in the AFC, Titans or Chiefs?

2021 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread last week.

COVID-19 is still running roughshod through the NFL. The list of players in COVID protocol keeps growing every single day. Luckily, asymptomatic players should be able to get off the list faster than in previous weeks due to new guidelines.

I would suggest placing your bets on Saturday night to try to avoid surprises. I was lucky last week and my bets weren’t destroyed by new COVID cases. Last week, I placed my bets Wednesday evening and I wouldn’t advise that unless you want to lock in an advantageous point spread.

Can the Los Angeles Rams cover on the road against Baltimore?

2021 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-6 against the spread last week.

COVID-19 is running rampant in NFL locker rooms right now. I had to delay my betting picks by a day last week just due to the flood of names coming in. I had to delay it again this week due to games being pushed back to Tuesday night.

I fully expect some more game-changing names to land in COVID protocols by this weekend. I fear it will be like this until the Super Bowl.

Will the Buccaneers bounce-back from a shut-out loss?

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 13

I had a rough week with my betting picks, but my fantasy picks were some of my best recommendations this season.

The Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers are all out on bye this week.

There aren’t a ton of top fantasy performers out this week, so you may not want to tinker with your lineup a ton. We suggest a few deeper league options this week to help those fantasy owners.

2021 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-5 against the spread last week.

I’ve had a couple up and down weeks recently, so it was nice to have big week heading into Thanksgiving.

Historically, I’ve done very well on Thanksgiving. I’ve had multiple three-team parlays hit over the years and I once had a streak of twelve-straight covers over the course of three Thanksgivings.

I hope I didn’t just jinx myself for bringing that up.

Can the Colts cover at home against Tom Brady?

2021 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 against the spread last week.

I’ve had a couple rough weeks after a strong first-half of the season. It was time to pivot and move around some of my personal team rankings.

After a week full of double-digit spreads, we only have two on the docket this week. It is a welcomed change as double-digit NFL spreads can be hard to handicap.

The Cowboys/Chiefs game is the marquee contest this week. Both teams are coming off blowout wins. Can the Chiefs cover at home?

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 11

We had another odd week with the Lions playing to a tie against the Steelers and Panthers QB Cam Newton turned back the clock in his re-debut with the team.

The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams are the only two teams out on bye this week.

There are only a handful of top fantasy players out on bye this week, but honestly, after the Rams & Broncos performances last week, you needed a week away to calm down.

Will Bucs QB Tom Brady bounce-back from a sub-par performance?

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 10

Last week was another weird overall week in the NFL. The Bills nearly lost to the Jaguars and the Cowboys were dominated by the Broncos.

The Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Giants and the Houston Texans are all out on bye this week.

There aren’t a ton of top fantasy players out on bye this week. There are a few studs on Cincinnati and the other teams have some startable wide receivers.

2021 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 against the spread last week. It was my first week under .500 this season. The late games really did a number on me.

The first week of Autumn weather always brings weird outcomes. Let’s hope last week’s strange games is a one-week occurrence.

There are some games with large point spreads on Thursday night and early Sunday, but the games tighten up during the late games.

Can Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shake off his interceptions streak this week against the Packers?
