2020 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 against the spread last week.

I was able to make a comeback last week after having a rough stretch in the early games, but nearly ran the table the rest of Sunday.

There are some COVID-19 issues on the Ravens right now, but they think it’s under control. They added seven to the COVID-19 reserve list. They haven’t had any positive tests since.

A few teams are dealing with quarterback injuries and we will see two new faces starting this week for the Cowboys and Jaguars.

6 Outdoor Activities That Do Not Require Close Contact

Even though the sports industry took a hit when the pandemic began, things are gradually getting back to normal. Some of the world’s most famous football leagues, such as the British Premier League, have resumed for fans all over the world. But there are still concerns about contact during these games, which has led to testing and the inability for spectators to enjoy the games in person. Fortunately, some sports do not require that much contact to play. Are you looking to get back into sports but are worried about social distancing? Here are some safe games you can engage in:

1. Tennis

Now more than ever, you can appreciate the distance between players on the tennis court. Also, since there are at least two players at a time, there is enough room for movement and ventilation. The likelihood of contracting an infection is little to none. The only thing that may be a problem is how the balls will be handled. However, once you make a conscious effort not to touch your face and wash your hands after a game, you should be fine.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-13 against the spread last week.

I’ve been struggling the last three weeks with my college football picks. I thought the addition of Big Ten games to the schedule would fix my string of bad luck, but nope! Penn State, Michigan State and Iowa all shit the bed in their debuts.

I was impressed by a few Big Ten players last week. Michigan QB Joe Milton didn’t need to showcase much in their win over Minnesota, but he could do some damage with his size and athleticism. I was having Cam Newton flashbacks last weekend.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 9 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (October 31st, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-7 against the spread last week.

There were a ton of games that came down to the final play of the game to ruin covers. The last-second Lions win and a late missed extra-point in the Browns/Bengals game ruined a lot of bets.

There currently aren’t any games in jeopardy due to COVID-19 positive tests right now. It’s only Wednesday, so things could change since positivity rates have increased all around the country.

Will the Steelers fare well against QB Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens?

It doesn’t look like we are in line for any COVID cancellations, but it is only mid-week. We have 14 games on the schedule with four teams on bye.

The teams off this week are the Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals, Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Football Team.

Kayaking 101: How To Begin A Thrilling Outdoor Hobby

As we move towards the winter months, many of the popular outdoor sporting options are becoming thin on the ground for non-professionals. Those of us who wish to stay fit and enjoy a diverting hobby are likely to be looking for another way to keep the weekends occupied, particularly given that a day on the golf course can so easily be ruined by rain or worse.

One worthwhile option may be to give kayaking a try. It’s a suitable winter pursuit – if you have doubts about that, bear in mind that the first people to give kayaks a try were the indigenous population of Greenland. That’s a part of the world where even the summer temperatures rarely get far above 50 degrees Fahrenheit, so as long as you wrap up warm, it can be the perfect winter hobby. Indeed, by following the tips below, you can have the time of your life in a kayak.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-12 against the spread last week.

I’m glad to see more potential college football games on the schedule. It was tough gathering 25 games to pick when there were barely 25 games on the schedule.

Big Ten and Mountain West teams are making their season debuts this week. This will add a dozen games to the schedule with a few other conferences due to start in the coming weeks.

Can Ohio State start to receive first-place votes in the polls with a big win against Nebraska?

2020 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6 against the spread last week.

As of Wednesday night, it looks like all these games are set to be played at their scheduled time. We haven’t seen as many positive COVID-19 tests this week, but considering the entire country has seen a sharp increase, we could see some before Sunday’s slate of games.

The marquee game this week appears to be the Pittsburgh Steelers versus Tennessee Titans contest. The Titans have had a string of marquee games and they’ve came out on top in all of them so far. Can they hold off Pittsburgh on Sunday?

Can Jimmy Garoppolo lead the Niners to a cover in New England?

2020 NCAA Football – Week 7 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-12 against the spread last week.

Colleges are still struggling with COVID-19 outbreaks and a few games have already been cancelled/postponed from this weekend’s slate. As of Friday, all of the games I’ve picked are still scheduled to be played, but with positive numbers shooting up, it could still change.

The biggest game this weekend is Georgia at Alabama. It’s a shame that the Tide should be without head coach due to a positive COVID-19 test since this game will play such a huge factor in the SEC landscape.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 7 of the 2020-21 NCAA Football season (October 17th, 2020).

2020 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6 against the spread last week.

We are starting to get an firm grasp on which teams are potential playoff teams and which teams look like they could be headed in the ‘Tank for Trevor Lawrence’ direction.

We don’t have a Thursday night game this week, but we have two games Monday evening. They moved the game since the Bills played on Tuesday and it would have been insane if they were forced to play just two days later.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers heads to Tampa Bay on Sunday to face QB Tom Brady. Can the Bucs give the Packers their first loss?
