2022 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6-2 against the spread last week.

I was glad to see a winning record again after two bland weeks. A couple teams that I had ranking high, but fell on their faces in the first couple games, are finally playing up to their talent level. I expect the Raiders and Bengals will have some tempting point spreads the next couple weeks.

We have a couple games with big question marks at quarterback. The Patriots look to be starting rookie QB Bailey Zappe and the Cowboys are currently unsure if QB Dak Prescott will be healthy enough to suit this week.

How will the Bengals fare against the Baltimore Ravens?

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 4

Injuries haven’t been a huge problem this year, but there are a couple that could have put a huge problem to you.

Patriots QB Mac Jones injured his leg in the final play of the game last week. It appears that he will miss a few games. How will this affect the team and will any players benefit from a conservative play-calling scheme?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 4 of the 2022 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles.

**Due to bring under the weather this week, I just provided a list of fantasy sit’em and start’em. I didn’t want to completely skip this weekly article, so I just provided the list. I will resume with a full article next week**

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 2

After Week 1, are you happy with your team or are you contemplating throwing it in the garbage?

There were a handful of hyped up fantasy studs who failed to impress in Week 1 (I’m looking at you, Cam Akers). It’s hard to dump a player after just one game, but you should always be looking to improve your team. The waiver wire will be crazy and I want to give you a few options to target this week.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hand) suffered an injury last week and will miss six-to-eight games. Which quarterback should you pick up as a replacement?

2022 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 1

I’m so happy to have fantasy football back!

Hopefully we can make it throughout the season without having to track all of your fantasy team’s temperatures and testing statuses.

We have a lot of new faces in new places and the biggest is probably the cover boy this week, Denver Broncos QB Russell Wilson. He is expected to have a big year, and uh, let’s ride!

The Bills and Rams kickoff the season on Thursday Night Football. Are there any sleepers on those teams this year?

2022 NFL Divisional Playoff Games – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-6 against the spread last week (and over/under picks).

We have a slate of four games this weekend and the point spreads predict that all four games should be pretty close, as all of them are under a touchdown.

The Tennessee Titans and Green Bay Packers had first-round byes and come into this week healthier. It looks like they could get some key players back from long absences. The biggest name would be Titans RB Derrick Henry, who led the league in rushing when he went down with a foot injury.

Can the Cincinnati Bengals upset the Titans?

We pick every NFL Divisional Playoff game against the spread and over/under point totals.

2021 NFL Week 18 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 5-9-2 against the spread last week.

Due to kidney stone issues, I had to forego my weekly fantasy football sit/start content. If you have any specific sit/start questions, feel free to send an email to BobbyMcRib@gmail.com.

I usually write around 3,000 words in my weekly NFL betting picks column, but this week will be abbreviated due to my overall discomfort.

The final week of the NFL season is always a gamble as teams play coy about the playing status of their key players.

Which team will win home-field advantage in the AFC, Titans or Chiefs?

2021 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-7 against the spread last week.

COVID-19 is still running roughshod through the NFL. The list of players in COVID protocol keeps growing every single day. Luckily, asymptomatic players should be able to get off the list faster than in previous weeks due to new guidelines.

I would suggest placing your bets on Saturday night to try to avoid surprises. I was lucky last week and my bets weren’t destroyed by new COVID cases. Last week, I placed my bets Wednesday evening and I wouldn’t advise that unless you want to lock in an advantageous point spread.

Can the Los Angeles Rams cover on the road against Baltimore?

2021 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-6 against the spread last week.

COVID-19 is running rampant in NFL locker rooms right now. I had to delay my betting picks by a day last week just due to the flood of names coming in. I had to delay it again this week due to games being pushed back to Tuesday night.

I fully expect some more game-changing names to land in COVID protocols by this weekend. I fear it will be like this until the Super Bowl.

Will the Buccaneers bounce-back from a shut-out loss?

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 16

We may no longer have bye weeks, but the current COVID outbreak in the NFL has made putting together a fantasy team a minute-by-minute decision.

I’ve been keeping an eye on a COVID List Tracker to make sure I’m up-to-date on all the players who may miss this week. After they updated the protocols for return, it’s possible a large number of the players should be cleared by this weekend…but a good number could be added on the list as well.

The Kansas City Chiefs have a few key offensive players on the COVID list. How will they fare against the Steelers?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 16 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals.

2021 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6 against the spread last week.

I only had one loss after the early games on Sunday, but the late games really destroyed my hopes of a huge week. I did hit a nice Lions moneyline play which kept me in the black this weekend.

The primetime games on Sunday and Monday nights are great. The Bills/Bucs and Rams/Cardinals games will have playoff implications.

Can the Washington Football Team win their fifth game in-a-row and cover against the Cowboys?

2021 NFL Week 13 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 against the spread last week.

I had a rough week and by far the worst showing of the season. I had a couple close losses, but those are still big, fat L’s at the pay window.

We have a rough idea which teams are in the playoff race and which teams that could soon pack it in the for the season. We could still see a few surprises though.

This time last month, it looked like the Dolphins were in the race for the #1 overall pick, but they’ve now won four games in-a-row heading into this week.

Who will win the shootout between the Chargers and Bengals?

2021 NFL Week 11 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-8 against the spread last week.

I’ve had a couple rough weeks after a strong first-half of the season. It was time to pivot and move around some of my personal team rankings.

After a week full of double-digit spreads, we only have two on the docket this week. It is a welcomed change as double-digit NFL spreads can be hard to handicap.

The Cowboys/Chiefs game is the marquee contest this week. Both teams are coming off blowout wins. Can the Chiefs cover at home?
