2020 NFL Wild Card Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished the year 145-109-7 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 Seahawks win as a favorite while on the road in Philly this weekend?

Can the Patriots bounce back from a bad loss against the Dolphins?

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

2019 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

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

I delayed my weekly NFL betting picks by a few days due to Christmas and the fact that not every team out there have announced whether or not they will play their starters this week.

I also decided to not write a fantasy football article this week just due to how random Week 17 can be in fantasy. There are so many variables that can happen and if you’re behind by a lot in your championship game right now, it could be a rough road for a comeback.

There are a ton of games with importance this week, so it should be a rather competitive week. There are only a handful of games with nothing on the line.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 17 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread last week.

A few more playoff spots could be clinched this weekend. All of the potential playoff teams still have a lot to play for, so I don’t foresee any teams resting their starters.

There wasn’t a Thursday night game this week, but we do see our first Saturday games. There’s a couple of bangers on that day. The Bills/Patriots & Rams/Niners have playoff implications.

Can Ravens QB Lamar Jackson clinch the MVP award with a strong performance against the Browns?

2019 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-4-2 against the spread last week.

The playoff picture is becoming clear now that we are just three weeks away from the end of the regular season. It appears that the NFC East is the weakest link in the NFL. The winner of the division may only have a record of 9-7, but that’s only if the Eagles or Cowboys win the rest of their games (which is unlikely).

Can the Patriots get back to winning or can the Bengals score the upset on Sunday?

2019 NCAA Football – Conference Championship Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-14 against the spread last week. I really struggled with my Friday game picks. I actually went 1-6 on that day. I bounced back on Saturday, but that was too large of a hole to climb out.

There are only ten games on the docket this week. We have conference championship games, which should be fun to watch and usually very hard to predict. You could end up with some possible College Playoff teams that overlook their games this week and get upset.

We have a possible play-in game scenario in the SEC Championship game. Both teams are in the top-four and the winner will most definitely make the Playoff field of four.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick EVERY college football games against the spread in Week 15 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (December 7th, 2019).

2019 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread last week.

We have a full slate of games every week from this point forward. It’s just more opportunities for gamblers to try to break even or fall farther in the hole. I’m in the black for the year and I’m going to play it a bit conservative this week and not lay down any above average amounts. I dipped into my profits a bit on Black Friday.

There are a few marquee games this week with Baltimore facing Buffalo and Kansas City traveling to New England. The outcomes of both of those games will definitely have an effect on the AFC playoff race.

Can the 49ers keep the game close against the Saints?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 16-9 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

This is the last week with a full slate of college football games. Next week is full of conference championship games and the yearly Army/Navy game.

Rivalry games can be tough to handicap. You can have all the data in the world, but sometimes a bad team can muster up enough big plays to defeat their hated rivals. Those are impossible to predict, but that’s the fun of rivalry week.

Can Ohio State chock up another win against the team up north?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 14 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 30th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-4 against the spread last week.

I’ve historically done very well against the spread on Thanksgiving. I had a streak of three-straight perfect Thanksgivings until it was broken last year. I feel pretty good about my Turkey Day picks this year.

I wanted to get my NFL picks out a little earlier than normal since there are three Thursday games this week…and I need to get an early start on my college football picks too.

Can the Niners stop Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 13 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-11-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

I really started out strong, but the late games last Saturday brought me back down to Earth.

There are some big games this weekend. The Penn State/Ohio State game could be viewed as a play-in game for the College Football Playoff. There are also some big games in the Big 12 that could weed out some of the teams for the Big 12 Championship game in a couple weeks.

Can Ohio State cover such a large point spread against Penn State?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 13 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 23rd, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2019 NFL Week 12 – Betting Picks Against Spread

After a rough Week 10, I rebounded with a strong 11-3 record against the spread last week.

There are some big games this weekend. The Cowboys/Patriots game will be a must-watch along with the Ravens/Rams game on Monday Night Football. It will be a big litmus test for Ravens QB Lamar Jackson. If he can perform like he has all season against a tough defense like the Rams, you might as well give him the MVP trophy after the game.

Can the 49ers hold off the Packers and ruin Green Bay QB Aaron Rodger’s homecoming?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 16-8-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

I’ve been doing really well with my college football picks lately, which makes up for the last two stinker weeks with my NFL picks.

There are still a couple undefeated teams out there that could really shake up the College Football Playoff. Minnesota and Baylor are definitely two teams no one thought would be undefeated at this point in the season.

Can Minnesota survive against Iowa to stay unbeaten?

2019 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I really don’t want to talk about last week. I’d rather just skip straight to my stellar college football picks, but since I’m transparent as hell, I was only 3-8-2 last week. It was my worst NFL betting week in more than a decade. It was just one of those weeks where nothing went right and my reads were off.

I feel much better about this week’s picks. There were some upsets last week and Vegas got the best of many of us, so you can’t hang your head about it.

There are a few starting quarterbacks that are coming back from injuries this week. Can Nick Foles get the win in his return for the Jaguars?
