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?

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 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-7 against the spread last week.

Last week, we had one cancelled game due to COVID-19 and it was rescheduled. The later these COVID-19 cancellations happen, the harder it will be to find a proper date to reschedule the game.

We aren’t free from more potential cancelled games this week. There are two games that are currently ‘off the board’ as of late Wednesday night. If those games aren’t cancelled, I will have picks up once the lines are available.

2020 NFL Week 4 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6 against the spread last week.

This will be the last week with a full slate of sixteen games (unless there’s a COVID-19 cancellation) for a couple months.

We are starting to get a good feel for which teams are playoff-caliber and which ones are in for a long season. The point spreads are a little tighter this week. It could be time to jump off the bandwagon if point spreads start to creep into the double-digits.

Can Ravens QB Lamar Jackson bounce-back from a rough passing outing against the Chiefs?

2020 NFL Week 3 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-8 against the spread last week.

We are starting to get some much-needed information to become more informed bettors. The issue this week comes from all the injuries that occurred to important players. There are a lot more unknowns than I was expecting this week.

There are a few players out there that could be game-time decisions this week. Some reports say that Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo could play on Sunday. Keep an eye on injury reports this week for updates.

Can Seattle QB Russell Wilson lead the Seahawks to a cover against the Cowboys?

2020 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 3

There were so many injuries to top players last week. Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey, Giants RB Saquon Barkley, Broncos WR Courtland Sutton & QB Drew Lock and Niners DE Nick Bosa will all miss considerable time. A few of those will miss the entire season due to injuries. The waiver wire will be busy this week.

Colts rookie RB Jonathan Taylor appeared to jump to the top of the depth chart with his breakout performance against the Vikings last week. Can he find the same success against the Jets?

Will we see another breakout game from one of the long list of backups starting this week?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 3 of the 2020 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of RB Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts

2020 NFL Week 1 – Betting Picks Against Spread

The first week of the 2020 NFL regular season is here!

It’s been a crazy offseason with the pandemic hitting causing the cancellation of the preseason games. We are going into this season pretty blind, but we at least have some beat reporters and television networks speaking with coaches on a regular basis.

There was a huge shuffling of quarterbacks this offseason that saw Tom Brady (Tampa Bay), Philip Rivers (Indianapolis) and Cam Newton (New England) starting for new teams.

Can Tom Brady lead Tampa Bay to a win against the New Orleans Saints?

2019 NFL Week 17 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread last week.

I delayed my weekly NFL betting picks by a few days due to Christmas and the fact that not every team out there have announced whether or not they will play their starters this week.

I also decided to not write a fantasy football article this week just due to how random Week 17 can be in fantasy. There are so many variables that can happen and if you’re behind by a lot in your championship game right now, it could be a rough road for a comeback.

There are a ton of games with importance this week, so it should be a rather competitive week. There are only a handful of games with nothing on the line.

2019 NFL Week 16 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 7-8-1 against the spread last week.

A few more playoff spots could be clinched this weekend. All of the potential playoff teams still have a lot to play for, so I don’t foresee any teams resting their starters.

There wasn’t a Thursday night game this week, but we do see our first Saturday games. There’s a couple of bangers on that day. The Bills/Patriots & Rams/Niners have playoff implications.

Can Ravens QB Lamar Jackson clinch the MVP award with a strong performance against the Browns?

2019 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-4-2 against the spread last week.

The playoff picture is becoming clear now that we are just three weeks away from the end of the regular season. It appears that the NFC East is the weakest link in the NFL. The winner of the division may only have a record of 9-7, but that’s only if the Eagles or Cowboys win the rest of their games (which is unlikely).

Can the Patriots get back to winning or can the Bengals score the upset on Sunday?

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 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.
