2021 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread (again) in Week 4.

There are some big games on the schedule this week. I think we will have an idea of which teams are potential playoff teams after this week.

There are a few injuries to keep an eye on going into the weekend. Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater is in concussion-protocol, Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo has a calf injury that may or may not force him to miss this week and Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey could return this week. All three of those players statuses are up in the air.

How will Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes manage against the Bills #1 ranked defense?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 5 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-11 against the spread last week.

I killed it in the early games on Saturday (again), but the late games really beat me up. I was 8-2 after the early games, so the late ones spanked me around.

We are seeing more conference games this week. The Big Ten and SEC are well underway with the conference portion of their schedule.

Can Wisconsin rebound from their embarrassing blowout loss last week?

Can Cincinnati knock off Notre Dame in South Bend?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 5 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (October 2nd, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread in Week 3.

It’s clear that the Carolina Panthers, Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders were the three most underrated teams going into this season. It could be time to jump off their bandwagons as the betting lines are starting to reflect respect for their early season performances

How will Bucs QB Tom Brady fare in his homecoming against the Patriots?

Can the Steelers bounce-back from last week’s loss and keep it close against the Packers

2021 NCAA Football – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-13-1 against the spread last week.

I killed it in the early games on Saturday, but was was slaughtered with my afternoon and late night picks.

We are slowly getting into early days of in-conference games. We will get more historical data, which usually means tougher point spreads.

Wisconsin-transfer QB Jack Coan (now at Notre Dame) will start against his former team this weekend. Will the Badgers cover in Soldier Field?

2021 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread last week.

It could be time to change your mind on a few teams. The Panthers didn’t have many believers going into the season, but at this moment, adding QB Sam Darnold appears to be one of the smartest moves this offseason. Also, on the opposite end of the spectrum, the Colts could be in for a very long season.

Can the Vikings get their first outright win this week?

Will Justin Fields make his first NFL start or will the Bears hold off a few more weeks?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 3 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-10-1 against the spread last week.

After two weeks of college football, we are starting to get a better feel for which teams could make a jump from ‘possible bowl team’ to ‘contender’.

Ohio State was the first championship contender to suffer their first loss of the year. They struggled against Oregon and have fell in the polls.

Alabama faces Florida in what may assume will be the game of the week. Can young Bama QB Bryce Young continue is unreal start to his collegiate career?

2021 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7-1 against the spread in the opening week.

Week 2 can be tricky for those who react too swiftly to the first week outcomes. You do need to be flexible, but there are always Week 1 aberrations. I would suggest that you look back at your preseason rankings and decide which teams impressed you enough to adjust their ranking and which ones you need to double-down this week and hope for a bounce-back performance

Can the Packers forget last week’s blowout loss and cover a double-digit point spread at home against the Lions?

Can the Ravens avenge last season’s loss to the Chiefs?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 2 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

I started the season with a rather uneventful 12-13 record. A few of my risks clearly didn’t pay off in Week 1.

It was a fun week of football, even if I had a rough week against the spread. There were some nice upsets (Montana def. Washington) and there were a few quarterback prospects who fell on their face (I’m looking at you, Sam Howell).

There were a ton of transfers this offseason and a few really came up big with their new teams. Notre Dame QB Jack Coan was a real treat to watch.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 2 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (September 11th, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 152-121-8 against the spread last season. I hope this season will be a little less erratic with COVID issues, but it appears that will not be the case. I would suggest to hold off on placing any large bets until the day before kickoff. There will be a few games ruined by positive tests at some point this year.

There was a huge turnover with starting quarterbacks this offseason. A lot of new faces in new places. Will any of these veteran quarterbacks turn back the clock and play like their peak?

How will Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and Giants RB Saquon Barkley bounce-back from major injuries?

Can the Browns avenge last year’s playoff elimination against the Chiefs?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 1 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 1 Betting Picks Against Spread

College Football season is here, guys!

We didn’t get an official kickoff to the college football season last year due to all the pandemic issues. It looked like the entire season was going to be cancelled and then slowly teams started to schedule games. It’s nice to see a full slate of games to start the year.

The changes to the NCAA transfer portal has made things pretty crazy. There are a ton of new faces in new places. Oregon-transfer QB Tyler Shough has found a new home at Texas Tech. Many think he could end up being one of the top players chosen in next year’s NFL Draft. They kick off their season against the Houston Cougars.

Will Clemson cover against Georgia?

Super Bowl 55 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 55 is this Sunday and it’s a prop bets smorgasbord.

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 juice 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 prop bets for Super Bowl 55 (or Super Bowl LV for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

New UK Gambling Laws From October 2021

A new gambling bill is set to be unveiled in the UK. But it seems like it’s all bad news with this one. What is the situation with gambling legislation? The government is taking a close look at UK gambling laws to see if they can be tightened and even pushed towards the American model.

The UK government have introduced a myriad of new laws that will revolutionize the entire online gambling sector, but it is unclear if they will be enacted. However, the law will presumably force companies operating in the regulated market to adapt their operations to offer more transparency and better customer support. What’s set not to change, though is the use of free bet offers to entice new customers and other welcome offers are staying in place for now anyway.
