2019 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

derrick henry dottedI went 10-4-2 against the spread last week.

The playoff picture is becoming clear now that we are just three weeks away from the end of the regular season. It appears that the NFC East is the weakest link in the NFL. The winner of the division may only have a record of 9-7, but that’s only if the Eagles or Cowboys win the rest of their games (which is unlikely).

Can the Patriots get back to winning or can the Bengals score the upset on Sunday?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 15 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 15

Baker Mayfield late 2019 dottedAfter the first week of the playoffs, are you in a good position or do you need a miracle to come back from a large deficit?

If you’re in a good position, I wouldn’t tweak your roster much this week unless one of your starters has a difficult match-up. If you’re losing headed into this week, it could be time for a hail mary. Could it be time for a complete roster overhaul or will a small roster tweak be the answer to your prayers.

2019 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Jimmy Garoppolo San Francisco 49ers dottedI went 9-7 against the spread last week.

We have a full slate of games every week from this point forward. It’s just more opportunities for gamblers to try to break even or fall farther in the hole. I’m in the black for the year and I’m going to play it a bit conservative this week and not lay down any above average amounts. I dipped into my profits a bit on Black Friday.

There are a few marquee games this week with Baltimore facing Buffalo and Kansas City traveling to New England. The outcomes of both of those games will definitely have an effect on the AFC playoff race.

Can the 49ers keep the game close against the Saints?

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 14

Kirk Cousins dottedNow that we are in the fantasy playoffs, consistency is key. You can’t go in there with a dud quarterback or a tight end that just doesn’t get enough targets.

There are plenty of players out there that are owned in way too many leagues. They are being outperformed by players with almost single-digit ownership. It’s time to cut bait with those players and pick up a player with more playing time.

Did you make the playoffs in your fantasy league?

2019 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Mitchell Trubisky turkey dottedI went 10-4 against the spread last week.

I’ve historically done very well against the spread on Thanksgiving. I had a streak of three-straight perfect Thanksgivings until it was broken last year. I feel pretty good about my Turkey Day picks this year.

I wanted to get my NFL picks out a little earlier than normal since there are three Thursday games this week…and I need to get an early start on my college football picks too.

Can the Niners stop Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson?

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 13

ryan tannehill dottedWe have full strength teams from this point until the end of the season, but it’s still important to look at match-ups. Even some of the better players in fantasy can run into a bad match-up.

You may begin to start having some tough decisions every week. That flex spot could be a hard one to pick. Bye weeks suck, but they can make decisions much easier since you don’t have many options. Don’t stress too much about it. I tend to stress a little, but once I make a decision, I set my lineup and forget it.

Week 12 Fantasy Football: Making the Best of the Bye

Baker Mayfield 2019 Fantasy Week 12There are four teams on bye during Week 12, the Arizona Cardinals, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Los Angeles Chargers, and the Minnesota Vikings.

So that means you can forget about starting Patrick Mahomes or Kirk Cousins at QB this week both on the shortlist at different betting sites for favorites to be MVP. If you haven’t checked your lineup yet and you have significantly impactful players from any of those four teams – not that there is anyone significant on the Cardinals other than Murray– you best weight your options. Do you have a suitable replacement already on your bench or should you hunt the waiver wire and available players?

2019 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Lamar Jackson dotted funnyAfter a rough Week 10, I rebounded with a strong 11-3 record against the spread last week.

There are some big games this weekend. The Cowboys/Patriots game will be a must-watch along with the Ravens/Rams game on Monday Night Football. It will be a big litmus test for Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. If he can perform like he has all season against a tough defense like the Rams, you might as well give him the MVP trophy after the game.

Can the 49ers hold off the Packers and ruin Green Bay QB Aaron Rodger’s homecoming?

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 12

Le'Veon Bell dotted JetsThis is the final week of byes, so we will have a full schedule of sixteen games starting next week.

The Kansas City Chiefs, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Chargers are on bye this week. It’s a pretty quarterback-heavy group, so you might be looking for a quarterback to stream this week while your starting QB has the week off.

Some of the top fantasy quarterbacks have tough matchups this week. Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson faces the Rams, New England’s Tom Brady faces the Cowboys and Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers faces the 49ers.

2019 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

drew brees dottedI really don’t want to talk about last week. I’d rather just skip straight to my stellar college football picks, but since I’m transparent as hell, I was only 3-8-2 last week. It was my worst NFL betting week in more than a decade. It was just one of those weeks where nothing went right and my reads were off.

I feel much better about this week’s picks. There were some upsets last week and Vegas got the best of many of us, so you can’t hang your head about it.

There are a few starting quarterbacks that are coming back from injuries this week. Can Nick Foles get the win in his return for the Jaguars?

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 11

nick foles jaguars dottedThere are only four teams on bye this week.

The Green Bay Packers, Tennessee Titans, New York Giants and the Seattle Seahawks all have the week off. These teams aren’t nearly stocked full of fantasy studs like last week’s group of bye teams.

This week’s group of starting quarterbacks is pretty shocking if you use Week 1 eyeballs. There are so many backup quarterbacks that have either gained the starting job due to injury or just overall ineptitude by the previous quarterback.

2019 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a rough 5-8-1 record last weekend.

Pretty bad outcome with last week’s picks. Not only that, but I’ve been dealing with either carpal tunnel syndrome or an arthritic thumb, which makes it pretty darn annoying to type or even play video games (I bought NBA 2k20 recently and it is collecting dust by my Xbox One). I have to wear a dumb brace until I get it checked out further later this week.

Enough about my woes, it’s time to turn my luck around and get back on track with my NFL picks against the spread. Let’s do this!
