2023 NCAA Football – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I stayed above .500 with my college football picks against the spread again, but with only a 13-12 week.

I don’t want to repeat word-for-word what I said in my NFL column, but the next couple weeks could be bare-bones picks. I have some stuff going on personally and I need to just focus on my mental health. I love writing these betting articles, but sometimes you just have to step back for a bit.

2022 NCAA Football – Week 5 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I went 13-11-1 against the spread during Week 4 of the college football season.

We broke the curse last week. Wake Forest’s Sam Hartman did not lose against the spread or get injured, so I don’t feel guilty using a picture of Kansas QB Jalon Daniels this week.

We have a lot of games pitting perfect teams against each other. There are a lot of bloated records due to cupcake opponents in September, so we will know the talent level of a lot of teams after this week.

Is Kansas legit or will they crash and burn when they face good Big 12 teams?

2022 NCAA Football – Week 4 Betting Picks Against Spread

Last week, I went 14-11 against the spread during Week 3 of the college football season.

We continued the long streak of futility by putting a Will Rogers up on last week’s post. When player’s photo is featured on my college football picks, their team either loses or they get injured. I need to apologize in advance to Wake Forest’s Sam Hartman.

How will Florida fare against a great Tennessee team?

2022 NCAA Tournament: Which Bubble Teams Didn’t Get In?

There are 358 Division-I teams in college basketball eligible for the postseason 2022 NCAA Tournament. Obviously, not every team can get an invite.

These teams were all on the bubble, but failed to make it into the field of 68.

There were a few upsets in conference tournaments this year. Many deserving teams were left out of the field of 68.  I was surprised a few times during the Selection Show, but I feel good about the field overall.

How many SEC bubble teams missed the cut?

Here is a list of bubble teams which had their bubble burst.

BYU Cougars (22-10) – The Cougars needed to win the West Coast Conference tournament to get in. There were just too many good-to-great teams in their conference and the WCC weren’t going to get four teams in the Big Dance.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 14 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-11-2 against the spread last week.

It’s Conference Championship Week! I would have named it that but there is one non-conference title games this week. USC at California is the lone game with only bragging rights on the line.

We have seen some prominent head coaches in college football change jobs this week. There’s a chance that a handful of head coaches in this week’s games will be coaching other teams next season.

Can Michigan take care of Iowa and punch their ticket into the College Football Playoff?

2021 NCAA Football – Week 13 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 12-13 against the spread last week.

We’ve made it to Rivalry Week. This is the final week with a full slate of games.

This weekend, Ohio State and Michigan meet for the 117th time.. Both teams are coming off blowout wins and Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud could leapfrog a few Heisman contenders with big performance in a marquee game.

Can Oklahoma State cover against rival Oklahoma on Saturday?

2021 NCAA Football – Week 12 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 15-10 against the spread last week.

I had an alright week against the spread, but Purdue really let me down. They were playing so darn well and they just hit a wall against Ohio State. It was ugly and my hail may Purdue moneyline play was a lost cause by the end of the first quarter.

After a week of weak SEC games, there are a few solid games to watch this week. Arkansas at Alabama is one many are looking forward to, but the Razorbacks secondary could fold early.

Can Michigan State upset Ohio State on Saturday?

2021 NCAA Football – Week 11 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-13-1 against the spread last week.

I would have been down this week, but I was able to hit on a Purdue moneyline to keep me in the black.

There are some big games in the Big Ten this week. Purdue at Ohio State and Michigan at Penn State have Big Ten Championship-altering potential.

Can Oklahoma stay perfect on the year with a win at Baylor?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 11 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (November 13th, 2021).

2021 NCAA Football – Week 10 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 10-15 against the spread last week.

I was coming off one of my best weeks ever and last week took a chunk of those winnings.

College football games can become pretty crazy when the weather starts to get sloppy. We are definitely in that season and I expect the betting lines to be more difficult going forward.

I expect the Michigan State vs. Purdue game to be a fun watch. Purdue is playing better of late and the Spartans are coming off a huge win against Michigan.

2017 John Collins Wake Forest Demon Deacons NCAA Tournament March MadnessWe are here to help you fill out your brackets and finally beat your cubicle neighbor in your office pool this year.

2012 College Football: All-Name Team

Not everyone can have the last name ‘Manning’ or ‘Montana’, some of us have to go through life with a pretty ridiculous name. Most of these names are pretty rough to grow up with, but some are names you wish you had…especially if you are named something bland like Joe Smith or Bobby Roberts (my name).

Some of the name are easy laughs that you’ll get instantly, but a few may take you a few moments to get the humor.

2012 NCAA Football’s All-Name Team consists of the funniest names in college football this year…and one specific one that I wish I had.

I hope you enjoy this year’s college football’s “All-Name Team”. Continue reading
