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 16

We may no longer have bye weeks, but the current COVID outbreak in the NFL has made putting together a fantasy team a minute-by-minute decision.

I’ve been keeping an eye on a COVID List Tracker to make sure I’m up-to-date on all the players who may miss this week. After they updated the protocols for return, it’s possible a large number of the players should be cleared by this weekend…but a good number could be added on the list as well.

The Kansas City Chiefs have a few key offensive players on the COVID list. How will they fare against the Steelers?

2021 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 against the spread last week.

I had a rough week and by far the worst showing of the season. I had a couple close losses, but those are still big, fat L’s at the pay window.

We have a rough idea which teams are in the playoff race and which teams that could soon pack it in the for the season. We could still see a few surprises though.

This time last month, it looked like the Dolphins were in the race for the #1 overall pick, but they’ve now won four games in-a-row heading into this week.

Who will win the shootout between the Chargers and Bengals?

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.

Will Patriots QB Mac Jones perform well against the Bills on Monday Night Football?

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 Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 12

Turkey Day is finally here!

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 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 Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 against the spread last week. The late games on Sunday bailed me out or the week would have been a disaster.

We have had back-to-back weird weeks in the NFL. Hell, the Jets and Jaguars are playing pretty well right now, so that’s weird in itself.

We have five double-digit point spreads this week. The favorites have actually covered more double-digit spreads than they’ve failed this season.

Will the Bills rebound from last week’s close win over the Jaguars and cover against the Jets?

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 9

We saw some head-scratching performances last week. Who would have thought Jets backup QB Mike White would put up Madden-like numbers against the Bengals?

The Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Washington Football Team are all out on bye this week.

There were a few major injuries last week that could have affected your fantasy team. You might be looking to replace Titans RB Derrick Henry or Raiders WR Henry Ruggs going forward.

Will Titans RB Adrian Peterson be worth a waive wire pickup?

2021 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread in Week 5.

The bye weeks have started and we will only have fourteen games on the schedule. It feels like a fuller slate of games since we have a London game and an important game on Monday Night Football.

We saw a few potential season-shifting injuries last week. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson injured a finger on his throwing hand and will be out until December. The Giants also have injury concerns with QB Daniel Jones, who is currently sitting in concussion-protocol.

Can the Steelers cover against the Geno Smith-led Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football?
