2020 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7 against the spread last week.

Last week, we had one cancelled game due to COVID-19 and it was rescheduled. The later these COVID-19 cancellations happen, the harder it will be to find a proper date to reschedule the game.

We aren’t free from more potential cancelled games this week. There are two games that are currently ‘off the board’ as of late Wednesday night. If those games aren’t cancelled, I will have picks up once the lines are available.

Can Chargers rookie QB Justin Herbert cover against the spread on Monday Night Football?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 5 of the 2020 NFL season.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-10-1 with my college football picks last week.

The SEC kicked off last week and there were some teams that separated themselves from the pack. Mississippi State upset LSU in their debut. MSU head coach Mike Leach made the rest of the SEC aware that his air raid offense can do some damage in the conference.

The marquee game of the week is Auburn versus Georgia. The winner could jump into the top-three in the rankings.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 5 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (October 3rd, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6 against the spread last week.

This will be the last week with a full slate of sixteen games (unless there’s a COVID-19 cancellation) for a couple months.

We are starting to get a good feel for which teams are playoff-caliber and which ones are in for a long season. The point spreads are a little tighter this week. It could be time to jump off the bandwagon if point spreads start to creep into the double-digits.

Can Ravens QB Lamar Jackson bounce-back from a rough passing outing against the Chiefs?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6 with my college football picks last week.

It is starting to feel like college football has returned. The SEC officially kicks off their schedule this week.

LSU lost a lot of talent to the NFL following their National Championship win. Did they recruit enough talent for another run at the trophy?

We will see the debut of a few new head coaches this week. Can Mississippi State’s Mike Leach implement his air raid offense and have success Day 1 in the SEC?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 4 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (September 26th, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread last week.

We are starting to get some much-needed information to become more informed bettors. The issue this week comes from all the injuries that occurred to important players. There are a lot more unknowns than I was expecting this week.

There are a few players out there that could be game-time decisions this week. Some reports say that Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo could play on Sunday. Keep an eye on injury reports this week for updates.

Can Seattle QB Russell Wilson lead the Seahawks to a cover against the Cowboys?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 with my college football picks last week.

We still don’t have a full slate of potential games this week, but we do see some Big 12 teams joining the ACC and small conference teams.

Notre Dame failed to cover last week against Duke. The Irish face South Florida on Saturday and face an even larger point spread. Can they bounce back and beat South Florida by 26 points?

Not all the games have betting lines as of this writing, but we did find 18 games with betting lines.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick all 18 college football games against the spread in Week 3 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (September 19th, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread last week.

I really don’t want to go through picking NFL games against the spread in Week 1 without a single preseason game ever again. It was a tall task and I’ll take the 11-5 record as a personal victory.

Do you guys think home teams have much of an advantage this season? There are limited fans and the whole situation is weird for both teams. The travel aspect is a huge factor though. I am curious to see the final home records at the end of the year to see how it all shakes out.

Can Jacksonville QB Gardner Minshew III lead the Jaguars to back-to-back covers against AFC South teams?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

This will be the weirdest college football season of all-time.

We have some of the teams starting now, some starting in a month and the rest delaying until early-2021 or completely until the next ‘football season.’ Let’s just hope the next couple weeks goes off without a huge outbreak and we can enjoy college football again.

There are a few must-watch ACC games this week. It’s strange to already have ACC conference games in early-September…but everything about this season will be weird.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick all 14 college football games (with betting lines) against the spread in Week 2 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (September 12th, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

The first week of the 2020 NFL regular season is here!

It’s been a crazy offseason with the pandemic hitting causing the cancellation of the preseason games. We are going into this season pretty blind, but we at least have some beat reporters and television networks speaking with coaches on a regular basis.

There was a huge shuffling of quarterbacks this offseason that saw Tom Brady (Tampa Bay), Philip Rivers (Indianapolis) and Cam Newton (New England) starting for new teams.

Can Tom Brady lead Tampa Bay to a win against the New Orleans Saints?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season.

Super Bowl LIV – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 54 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 (and the most absurd) prop bets for Super Bowl 54 (or Super Bowl LIV for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

2020 NFL Conference Championship Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-3 last week with my picks against the spread and over/under point totals during Divisional playoff games.

Last week’s games weren’t as crazy as the Wild Card weekend, but they were still a fun watch. The outcomes made for two interesting rematches from earlier this season.

Can Packers QB Aaron Rodgers spoil the Niners playoff run in his return to his hometown area?

Can the Titans use RB Derrick Henry’s legs to win their third-straight upset win and make it to the Super Bowl for the first time in 20 years?

Will Titans QB Ryan Tannehill pull a ‘Kurt Warner move’ and lead his team to the Super Bowl as a backup-turned-starting QB?

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

2020 NFL Divisional Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-3 last week with my picks against the spread and over/under point totals during Wild Card Weekend.

The Wild Card games were fun to watch last week. There were two that went into overtime and the other two games didn’t lack suspense with a pair of upsets.

Will the home teams start the game a little rusty after a week off or will the rest be a big factor in the game?

Will the Titans try to choke the game clock again this week in hopes of keeping Ravens QB Lamar Jackson off the field?

We pick every NFL Divisional Round playoff game against the spread and over/under.
