Toy Crazy: Winter 2020 WWE Funko Releases

It’s been awhile since I posted about upcoming Funko releases. I think I may have skipped the last series, but the upcoming toys to be released in early-2020 are must-haves.

We have reviewed a lot of Mattel’s WWE Elite figures, but Funko has also released solid figures in the past. I’m a big collector and you can see some of my collection on my Instagram, @vintagetoybob.

This upcoming set has a couple chase figures and exclusives that can be found at Amazon and Wal-Mart. We will also see the first Hulk Hogan Funko figure since his racist remarks were made public years ago.

Here are some pictures of Funko’s Winter 2020 WWE POP! vinyl releases.

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?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 12 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 16th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

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?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 11 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 11

There are only four teams on bye this week.

The Green Bay Packers, Tennessee Titans, New York Giants and the Seattle Seahawks all have the week off. These teams aren’t nearly stocked full of fantasy studs like last week’s group of bye teams.

This week’s group of starting quarterbacks is pretty shocking if you use Week 1 eyeballs. There are so many backup quarterbacks that have either gained the starting job due to injury or just overall ineptitude by the previous quarterback.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 11 of the 2019 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Nick Foles of the Jacksonville 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?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 11 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 9th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

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!

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 10 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 10

We have a whopping six teams on bye this week.

The Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Redskins, Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans have the week off. There are a few fantasy studs in that group that will be hard to replace.

You could be a tough position if you’re missing a few of your starters while on bye. You may need to trust a player you’ve never played before, so do your research and pay attention to the injury reports during the week.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 10 of the 2019 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals.

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.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 10 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (November 2nd, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.

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.

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 9 of the 2019 NFL season.

2019 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 9

We are back to having four teams on bye this week. We will be without the Atlanta Falcons, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams and the Atlanta Falcons players.

There are a number of backup quarterbacks still starting this week. We will see one more now that the Broncos will sit Joe Flacco in favor of Brandon Allen. I would have mentioned the Bengals benching Andy Dalton for rookie Ryan Finley, but they are on bye this week.

Are the Titans a potential playoff contender with Ryan Tannehill under center?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 9 of the 2019 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Ryan Tannehill of the Tennessee Titans.

Sports Crush: WWE’s Cathy Kelley

It’s been awhile since we added to our ‘Sports Crush’ list.

We’ve written over a dozen ‘Sports Crush’ posts since we launched AmericasWhiteBoy.com. We have spotlighted a ton of WWE Divas (Becky Lynch, Mandy Rose, Sasha Banks, Alexa Bliss, Liv Morgan and others). The readers still keep those among the some of the highest traffic on the site, so we will keep delivering.

Cathy Kelley got her start on AfterBuzz TV, which is owned by WWE mega-fan Maria Menounos and her husband. Kelley was part of many WWE recap shows and also contributed to radio shows on Sirius XM. She was signed to WWE in 2016 and has been the host for many WWE shows on their YouTube channel and has been a mainstay on NXT in recent years. You can now see her every Wednesday night on NXT on the USA Network.

Check out why we are crushing on Cathy Kelly with our picture gallery.

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?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 9 of the 2019-20 NCAA Football season (October 26th, 2019). We also pick some smaller conference games.
