2021 NFL Week 15 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Kirk Cousins dottedI went 9-4-1 against the spread last week. 

As of Wednesday evening, there are 90 NFL players on the COVID list. There are many key players that will miss this weekend’s games. I actually had a large chunk of this written on Tuesday, but as more and more names were placed on the list, I decided to wait an extra day to post my NFL betting picks. This could become the norm due to the variant’s infection rate.

Can Urban Meyer Survive the Season?

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer is having arguably the worst season any NFL coach has had in recent memory. Not only is his team 2-11 on the year, but all of his off-the-field issues are making it hard for the Jaguars front office to keep him after this season.

We all know about Meyer’s drunken night when he was caught on video groping a young blonde. Most coaches would have trouble surviving that scandal, but he has seen his #1 overall pick quarterback play like he doesn’t belong in the league, he is having shouting matches with his veteran wide receivers and was caught telling all of his assistant coaches that they were losers.

What can Urban Meyer do to survive the season and coach the Jaguars going forward?

2021 NFL Week 14 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6 against the spread last week.

Warning Signs: When It’s Time To Modify Your Budget

The world is going through a supply chain crunch and items cost more right now. The inflation rate has increased and it could put a crunch on your personal budget. This could be the norm for awhile and it may have changed your spending or saving habits.

Here are some warning signs that it’s time to modify your budget.

Increased Credit Card Balance

We all know how easy it is to let ‘future self’ deal with paying for a nonessential purchase. You just pull out your credit card and figure that you’ll cut something else out to help pay for it.

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.
