2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 2

I am battling one hell of a flu bug this week. I actually started this post on Tuesday and had to quit due to everything spinning.

Now that I am feeling a little better, I’ve still only eaten saltine crackers since Monday, let’s crank out some fantasy football and betting posts!

I had a few studs and duds with my picks last week. I’m feeling better now that I’ve seen what roles from of the new players played for their teams in Week 1.

Can Gardner Minshew become a stud for the Jaguars?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 2 of the 2019 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Gardner Minshew of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

2019 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

The first week of the 2019 NFL regular season is here!

I finished last season over .500 with my NFL picks against the spread. I hope to continue my streak of profitable NFL picks this season.

This year’s rookie class of quarterbacks isn’t as good as last year’s crop. There were so many rookie quarterbacks that saw action early last season, but it appears that Arizona’s QB Kyler Murray will be the lone rookie to start in Week 1.

I love a lot of the favorites this week. I almost feel wrong for making so many ‘chalk’ picks, but I still found a few underdogs picks to sink my teeth into.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 1 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 1

I am really looking forward to fantasy football this year.

It seems like half the league has exciting young quarterbacks. Also, more running backs are becoming assets in the passing game. It makes for a more entertaining fantasy football experience.

A handful of past fantasy studs like Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown find themselves on new teams. Will either guy continue their top-tier fantasy production or will their fantasy stock diminish?

6 Most Tragic Career-Ending Injuries in Sports

Every time an athlete laces their shoes, they know that the risk of injury is always right around the corner. There have been many young talents that were never the same after just one ill-timed twist of the knee or pop in their shoulder.

Jay Williams – Williams was a standout point guard at Duke and was the second player taken in the 2002 NBA Draft. He was all set to be the centerpiece in what many assumed could be the start of a new dynasty for the Chicago Bulls. He had an average rookie season, but did show promising signs that he could turn into a star. After his rookie season, Williams wrecked his Yamaha R6 motorcycle into a streetlight. He suffered major injuries including never damage in his leg, fractured pelvis and a completely dislocated knee. It was a single vehicle crash and didn’t need to consult a personal injury lawyer, but the Bulls were able to collect on an insurance policy to cover Williams’ contract. Williams did attempt a basketball comeback in 2006, but he was just a shell of himself. He has stayed in the limelight as a college basketball analyst for ESPN.

Super Bowl 53 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

I LOVE prop bets. I actually get more joy out of betting Super Bowl prop bets than betting against the spread. Yes, most are a crap shoot, but with the right research, you can end up winning bets with very favorable odds.

I’m not saying you can research who will win the coin toss, but there are many other player and team prop bets out there that have nice odds.

Some prop bets aren’t worth the money (the vig isn’t worth the slight risk), but sometimes you just have to lay a few bucks down, cross your fingers and wish for the best.

I picked out some of the most popular (and the most absurd) prop bets for Super Bowl 53 (or Super Bowl LIII for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

2019 NFL Conference Championship Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 3-5 against the spread and with my over/under picks last week. I whiffed against the spread, but made up for it with my over/under picks.

This might be the most evenly-matched Conference Championship slate of games in NFL history. Both games are -3 for the home team, which means that on a neutral field, both games should probably be pick’em. Also, both games are rematches of barn-burning thrillers from this season.

Can the Saints get QB Drew Brees to his second Super Bowl of his career?

Can the Patriots force Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes into making mistakes?

We pick both NFL Conference Championship games against the spread and over/under point totals.

2019 NFL Divisional Round Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-2-1 against the spread and with my over/under picks last week.

All four games this weekend should be fun to watch, something that has become uncommon the last few years with injuries severely depleting playoff teams. The only backup quarterback playing this week is Eagles QB Nick Foles, who led them to a Super Bowl win last year.

Should the Patriots be an underdog at home against the Chargers?

Can the Colts knockout the Chiefs from the playoffs again?

We pick every NFL Divisional Round Playoff games against the spread.

2019 NFL Wild Card Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished the year 133-111-12 against the spread during the NFL regular season.

Since there aren’t many games in the playoffs, I also pick over/under point totals as well.

These four games are pretty close, so we aren’t seeing any double-digit point spreads like we’ve seen the last few Wild Card Weekends.

Can the Eagles pull off the upset and make another improbable Super Bowl run?

We pick every NFL Wild Card Weekend game against the spread.

2018 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-6 against the spread last week.

Week 17 hasn’t been very eventful the last couple of years. There wasn’t even worth a flex last year and there wasn’t a game on Sunday Night Football.

The Colts/Titans game was flexed to Sunday night this year. The winner of that game will earn a playoff spot. If the Texans lose to the Jaguars, the Colts or Titans could win the AFC South with a win.

There are currently only two teams that are locked into their spots in the playoffs (Saints & Cowboys). Every other spot is up for grabs, so this week will be worth your time.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 17 of the 2018 NFL season.

2018 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 17

Week 17 can be a crap shoot. Teams rest some of their stars and there’s always one ‘out of nowhere’ performance by a backup that can sway a championship game.

Many leagues had their championship in Week 16, but needing a strong showing Week 17 just makes a league more interesting. A team can make a huge comeback from a poor score in the first week of the championship.

Should you automatically bench a guy whose team has nothing left to play for?

Did you make it to your championship game or are you just battling for a bronze medal this week?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 17 of the 2018 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

2018 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread last week.

Week 16 usually has a ton of stinkers on the schedule, but there are some interesting games being played this weekend…and thankfully there isn’t a Thursday game on the schedule.

This week isn’t completely void of potential blowouts as there are a handful of double-digit point spreads…which are pretty darn difficult to cover in the National Football League.

The Ravens, Titans and Colts are battling for the final Wild Card spot in the AFC. Will any of these teams choke this weekend?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 16 of the 2018 NFL season.
