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?

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?

2019 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

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

This could be the first week of the college football season that the weather could affect many games. It’s supposed to be cold and windy throughout the Midwest and Northeast this weekend. Please keep an eye on weather reports that could change the possible handicapping of games.

Will LSU vs Alabama be a shoot-out?

2019 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I had a rough 5-8-1 record last weekend.

Pretty bad outcome with last week’s picks. Not only that, but I’ve been dealing with either carpal tunnel syndrome or an arthritic thumb, which makes it pretty darn annoying to type or even play video games (I bought NBA 2k20 recently and it is collecting dust by my Xbox One). I have to wear a dumb brace until I get it checked out further later this week.

Enough about my woes, it’s time to turn my luck around and get back on track with my NFL picks against the spread. Let’s do this!

2019 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-13 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

I really need to have back-to-back solid weeks with my college football picks. I’ll have a great week that is followed by one that’s around .500. I feel pretty good about my picks this week and to get back on track.

There are a handful of marquee games this weekend. Georgia at Florida might be the most relevant in the big picture when it comes to the College Football Playoff. I would even say that SMU at Memphis could even be seen as being more relevant as SMU is still undefeated this late into the year.

2019 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 10-5 against the spread with my picks last week.

I lost the Thursday game last week, but killed it in the early games on Sunday. I felt I made some smart picks in a week that saw a lot of close calls near the points spread.

I wanted to wait until Wednesday night to make my picks to the NFL trade deadline ending earlier this week. There weren’t any big trades and the teams are all roughly the same. I think the biggest trade may have been when the Dolphins traded RB Kenyan Drake to the Cardinals for a low draft pick…so it was a bland deadline.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-11 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

We are still waiting on that ‘Bizarro Betting Weekend’ we seem to get every year. It’s usually when the leaves start to change and we get a ton of upsets. Some of those upsets can be blamed on trap games or letdowns, but it hasn’t happened yet. Could it be this weekend?

There are a few big marquee games this weekend. Ohio State vs Wisconsin, Notre Dame vs Michigan and Auburn vs LSU are the three that I’ll definitely be watching on Saturday.

Which games will you be watching on Saturday?

2019 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 7-7 against the spread with my picks last week.

I struggled during the early games on Sunday, but did hit the rare trifecta of Primetime games (Thursday, Sunday and Monday). I needed those games to break even for the week.

The NFL trade deadline is October 29th. There have been a few trades that happened this week and chances are that a couple may still happen before this week’s slate of games. Keep an eye on the transactions and it could be smart to try and bet later in the week to avoid any possible blockbuster trades. My gut thinks the trades may be done for the week and next week will be the week where trades could screw up any early week bets.

2019 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 15-9-1 against the spread with my college football picks last week.

We are really in the heart of the conference schedules and we are seeing some big rivalry games pop up every weekend. The Penn State/Michigan game has a little extra importance this year since Michigan looks rather vulnerable.

There’s usually a really weird betting week that happens this time of the year. It seems like some weird things happen when seasons start to change and we get a slate of games full of upsets.

Will this be the Bizarro betting weekend?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 8 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (October 19th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.
