2025 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

In week eight of the college football season, I went 14-11 against the spread.

The big marquee games appear to be a bit underwhelming this week. It’s not surprising, as teams tend to save their bigger games for November. Teams are just crossing off mandated conference match-ups, which can be dangerous.

Keep an eye out for some upsets. Underdogs can sneak up and pick off some contenders during the doldrums of late-October college football.

Can Indiana continue to stay perfect and beat UCLA in Bloomington?

2025 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

In week five of the college football season, I went 16-9 against the spread.

There are some real make-it-or-break-it type of games this week. A lot of teams need a win to potentially save their season. You have teams like Clemson and Florida, with another loss, they’d both could start the year 1-4. It would be catastrophic for their fanbases, and a coach’s seat will be getting rather toasty.

Can Vanderbilt pull off another upset of Alabama?

2025 NCAA Football – Week 3 Betting Picks Against Spread

In week 2 of the college football season, I went 13-11-1 against the spread.

We were spoiled by all the marquee games in Week 1, so the games since have left us a bit flat. We do have some solid SEC match-ups this week and Texas A&M vs Notre Dame is a nice litmus test for both programs.

We handicap a few sleeper teams this week. I think South Florida could string together some wins and make their ‘upset win’ over Florida not look so bad for the Gators.

Will Tennessee take care of business at home against Georgia?

2024 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I got wrecked last week and went 9-15-1 against the spread in Week 10 of the 2024-25 College Football season. It was, by far, my worst performance in many years.

We have a fun slate of games this week. A few of the betting lines left me confused at a glance, but realized that some powerhouses are having down seasons. On the other side of the coin, I was equally shocked to see a single-digit point spread in a Vanderbilt game against another SEC school.

The SEC title picture should be more clear after this week’s slate of games. A few teams will fall out of contention with a loss.

2024 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 13-11-1 against the spread in Week 9 of the 2024-25 College Football season.

Unlike the NFL, there appears to be a ton of teams out on bye this week. We still have some massive games on the schedule, but it just feels light overall.

Georgia vs Florida and Oregon vs Michigan would normally be ‘championship or bust’ sort of games, but both have double-digit point spreads this year. At least one traditional matchup does have College Football Playoff implications when Ohio State travels to Penn State on Saturday afternoon.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-11 against the spread last week.

I had another rough stretch during the early games on Saturday, but the Pac-12 pulled me above .500 and above.

Iowa had the worst defeat of the week when they were smoked by Purdue at home. It was surprising and few really had that one which would have been a huge moneyline win.

There aren’t any championship-altering games this week. We have some rivalry games like USC vs Notre Dame, which should be a fun watch.

2021-22 College Basketball – All-Name Team

We lost a few players on last year’s College Basketball All-Name Team (I wish the best of luck in the future to guys like Goodnews Kpegeol). We have a lot of returning faces due to the NCAA giving another year of eligibility to athletes due to the pandemic, but we do have a decent amount of new names on this year’s list.

We picked through every Division-I college basketball roster and a few smaller schools for our list. This year’s class is strong and is a better version of last year’s All-Name Team.

My name is Bobby Roberts, so I am often jealous of people with unique names. The most unique thing about my name is that I was not born ‘Robert Roberts’, Bobby is my given name. I don’t know too many grown men named Bobby.

This list consists of names that we wished he had and ones we find humorous. Enjoy!

2020-21 College Basketball – All-Name Team

We didn’t lose that many players on last year’s College Basketball All-Name Team. We were in a little bit of a rebuilding phase after losing many the year before. We actually have many new faces/names on this year’s list.

2020 NCAA Football – Week 13 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-13 against the spread last week.

There were well over a dozen games cancelled last week, but as of Wednesday night, there are only a few at this time, but that is most likely subject to change.

The first College Football Playoff rankings were released this week. Alabama tops the list with Notre Dame, Clemson, Ohio State and Texas A&M follow in that order.

Can Notre Dame stay among the top teams and win (and cover) against North Carolina?

2018 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished under .500 (again) last week, but I think nearly everyone bombed last week. There were so many upsets that nearly half of the Top 25 lost and we have about half as many unbeaten teams left.

Try not to completely abandon your betting strategy if you had a bad week. It seems like every October there is one week out of the month that is just wacky. I hope you were able to land on an upset moneyline or two last week, because it was hard to volume bet games.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 8 of the 2018-19 NCAA Football season (October, 20th, 2018). We also pick some smaller conference games.

2018 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I finished 14-11 last week, but really lost steam when it came to the late games. I got off to a great start, but the Pac-12 games and two nationally-televised late games ruined what could have been a pretty epic week. I still finished three games above .500, which isn’t a total loss.

There are some big games this weekend that weren’t viewed as important before the season. Indiana travels to Ohio State and Texas A&M hosts undefeated Kentucky. No one circled those games before the year, but now they are pretty darn important.

2017 March Madness: #8 Northwestern vs #9 Vanderbilt

We are here to help you fill out your brackets and finally beat your cubicle neighbor in your office pool this year.

Northwestern was an answer to a trivia question for a long time. Well, they are no longer applicable since they will finally make their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament. It was the goal when they hired head coach Chris Collins in 2013.

There hasn’t been much buzz around Vanderbilt since everyone is talking about Northwestern’s first tourney bid. The Commodores have enough shooters on the team to make a run.

Can Vanderbilt upset Northwestern in Salt Lake City?

Who do you think will win? We help you fill out your bracket.
