2024 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I got wrecked last week and went 9-15-1 against the spread in Week 10 of the 2024-25 College Football season. It was, by far, my worst performance in many years.

We have a fun slate of games this week. A few of the betting lines left me confused at a glance, but realized that some powerhouses are having down seasons. On the other side of the coin, I was equally shocked to see a single-digit point spread in a Vanderbilt game against another SEC school.

The SEC title picture should be more clear after this week’s slate of games. A few teams will fall out of contention with a loss.

2024 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Leave a reply

I went 10-5 against the spread in Week 9.

I really needed a strong showing on Sunday after getting wrecked by my college football bets. I was able to recoup a large portion of my losses thanks to a three-team parlay.

Injuries have really hit some teams hard this season. It appears that the 49ers may be a near-full strength soon now that RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) returned to practice. On the other side of the coin, the Cowboys may lose QB Dake Prescott (hamstring) for a couple games.

Can the Lions continue their hot streak?

I went 13-11-1 against the spread in Week 9 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

Unlike the NFL, there appears to be a ton of teams out on bye this week. We still have some massive games on the schedule, but it just feels light overall.

Georgia vs Florida and Oregon vs Michigan would normally be ‘championship or bust’ sort of games, but both have double-digit point spreads this year. At least one traditional matchup does have College Football Playoff implications when Ohio State travels to Penn State on Saturday afternoon.

2024 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Leave a reply

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.

I went 13-11-1 against the spread in Week 8 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

I had a massive article planned, but I broke/bruised some ribs Thursday morning, and I’ve been in bed ever since.

I was able to write a little snippet for each marquee game this week, albeit from my phone. I’ll be back with a massive article for next week’s games.

Can Vanderbilt upset Texas?

2024 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-5 against the spread in Week 7.

I had an outstanding Sunday, but finished 1-2 in the Sunday and Monday night primetime games. Any week when you have double-digit wins against the spread, is a positive week.

We have a rare midseason schedule with no bye weeks. We also have a handful of double-digit point spreads, which have been extremely rare so far this year. We will be seeing more going forward.

We are seeing injury issues wreaking havoc right now. We saw Tampa Bay, San Francisco and Cleveland lose important players to major injuries that will keep them out for the rest of the season.

2024 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-10-1 against the spread in Week 7 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

I was able to edge out a win for the week and profited thanks to a couple moneyline plays (my parlays weren’t as lucky).

The SEC appears to be in a state of flux with Vanderbilt knocking off Alabama and Kentucky. The Commodores haven’t been remotely good in well over a decade. The conference no longer has a consistent doormat to beat up on this year.

2024 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-4-1 against the spread in Week 6.

I thought I was going to end up with double-digit wins this weekend, but Jets QB Aaron Rodgers threw a pick in the final minutes of their last to the Bills.

We have an odd schedule of games with a early-Sunday game in London and two Monday Night Football games.

The best teams in the league are beginning to separate themselves from the pack. The Detroit Lions have looked like the best team in the NFC so far this month, but a lot can change moving forward.

2024 NCAA Football – Week 7 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-12-1 against the spread in Week 6 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

I wouldn’t normally be too happy with a .500 record after a weekend of college football games, but I feel like I dodged many bullets. There were so many outright upset wins last weekend. I’m thankful that I decided to skip picking the Alabama/Vanderbilt game. If you predicted that outcome, you need to buy some lottery tickets with your earnings.

2024 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-6-1 against the spread in Week 5.

It was a back-and-forth weekend for me against the spread. I would yo-yo from a win to a loss. I wasn’t able to end the week in the black after a couple of parlays failed (thanks, Raiders).

The Commanders and Giants are two of the biggest surprises through the first five weeks. I would list the Broncos here, but I just can’t stomach watching Denver as their offense makes my teeth hurt.

Can the Bengals get an outright win (and cover) on the road against the Giants?

Dramatic Shifts in Lombardi Odds: How the 2024 NFL Season’s First Five Weeks Shaped Super Bowl Contenders

The 2024 NFL season is well underway, and there has been no shortage of shocks in the opening five weeks of the campaign. The Cincinnati Bengals were considered genuine Lombardi contenders by many, but their shocking overtime defeat to their AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens on week five has left them 1-4 and with their postseason hopes in tatters. Over in Washington State, the Seattle Seahawks had surprised many with their impressive start to the campaign, but a stunning loss at home to the lowly New York Giants has left supporters reevaluating their hopes for the season.

One thing that has remained constant however is the dominance of the Kansas City Chiefs. Led by the mercurial Patrick Mahomes, the Missouri outfit claimed their second straight Lombardi at Super Bowl LVIII last term, and they show no sign of slowing down. They have begun the new campaign with four straight wins to emphasize their status as favorites to complete the first-ever NFL three-peat.

But while their odds on Lombardi glory remain sturdy, there have been plenty of market movers throughout the first five weeks of the season. Here are the four biggest of them. Continue reading →

2024 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-10-1 against the spread in Week 5 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

We don’t have a huge marquee games this week like Alabama vs Georgia, but I think the schedule has a depth of very good games on the schedule.

We have some notable Big Ten match-ups this week with Iowa travelling to Ohio State and Michigan flies out West to face Washington.
