2024 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-9 against the spread in Week 4.

I had a rough start to my NFL bets as I was 2-8 after the early game session on Sunday. Thankfully, I nearly ran perfect with the remainder of the games to save my bankroll.

We have some fun games on the schedule with Baltimore at Cincinnati and Buffalo at Houston are the marquee games of the week. Those almost makes up for forcing a part of the country to sit through Las Vegas at Denver (ugh!).

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season.

2024 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 15-10 against the spread in Week 4 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

The game of the week is the Georgia Bulldogs travelling to Alabama to play the Tide. It’s the first big game for the Tide without former head coach Nick Saban.

Can USC rebound from last week’s loss at Michigan and cover a double-digit point spread versus Wisconsin?

2024 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread in Week 3.

I jumped out to a great Week 1, but I’ve been just slightly better than .500 over the last two weeks. I still managed to slightly profit last week thanks to a Commanders moneyline play.

We have two Monday night games again this week, so two more opportunities to ‘get even or get even worse’ from any Sunday losses.

Can Panthers QB Andy Dalton replicated last week’s success against his former team?

I went 13-12 against the spread in Week 3 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

We have two big marquee games this weekend. USC travels to Michigan to start their Big Ten conference schedule, and Tennessee travels to Oklahoma for the start of the Sooners era in the SEC.

How will the teams fare in their new conferences this season?

2024 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7-1 against the spread in Week 2.

After a big Week 1, my picks struggled in the late afternoon games on Sunday. I did manage to hit on one of my parlays, so I was still in the black for the week.

The Minnesota Vikings are currently undefeated and host the Houston Texans this Sunday. Can they continue to buck the trend and start the year 3-0 with Sam freakin’ Darnold at quarterback?

How will Panthers QB Andy Dalton fare against the Raiders pass rush?

2024 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-12 against the spread in Week 2 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

I apologize for not having my picks up by mid-week, but I’ve been a busy bee this week.

We have quite a few local rivalry games on the schedule, and the outcomes can be a bit unpredictable in those sort of games.

Can Colorado buck the trend of underperforming against the spread?

2024 NFL Week 2 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-4-2 against the spread in Week 1.

We had a solid start to the season, but you can’t go all-in on a team that either impressed in Week 1 or completely fell on their face. It’s important to lean on your preseason rankings until an injury or something too glaring to ignore happens.

2024 NCAA Football – Week 2 Betting Picks Against Spread

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

It was a ‘somewhat’ successful opening week of the college football season. I was able to hit a parlay, which was needed to profit.

I usually stay away from large point spreads, but I sucked it up last week, and hit on most of those. There is just too many factors that need to happen for a team to cover a spread larger than 35 points.

2024 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Are you ready to place your bets?

I went 132-116-6 against the spread last season. It wasn’t a banner year and I just hovered around .500 all season long. I hope to start the year off with a big week.

I have written a monster post that somewhat acts like miniature season previews for every team. I can’t commit to writing almost 5k words every week, but I feel like it was needed to start the NFL season.

How will the rookie quarterbacks fare in their debuts?

2024 NCAA Football – Week 1 Betting Picks Against Spread

This year has flown by and it’s now time for college football!

This year will be a fruitful year for us here at the site. I lost my long-time dog Nugget at this point last year. It devastated me and I wasn’t able to put the focus on writing my weekly sports betting and fantasy football articles. I was barely able to just post my picks and I wasn’t able to give the same insight that I have in the past. I’m in a much better place in my life and have a new dog Goober (see picture) that brings me joy.

I want to thank everyone for sticking with me and still visited the site. I didn’t half-ass my picks, as I did all the work on the back-end, but I promise to ‘full ass’ my picks and articles this season.

Super Bowl 58 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 58 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 58 (or Super Bowl LVIII for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

2024 NFL Conference Championships – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 2-2 against the spread during the Divisional playoff games.

Up to this point, we’ve had an entertaining slate of playoff of games. We haven’t seen many games that weren’t up for grabs deep into the fourth quarter of the games. I think we will see more of that this weekend.

The Lions are playing with house money right now and all the pressure is on the 49ers on Sunday. Can Brock Purdy handle this big of a moment?

Can Jason Kelce continue to be the best person alive?

We pick both NFL Conference Championship game against the spread and pick over/under point totals in those contests.
