Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: November 2021

I was only going to do seasonal playlists, but I’ve found a lot of great new music since my Fall playlist last month.

I used to do these playlists every month, but a few of my side projects for super busy and the pandemic hit. I find more new music during football season because I sit here with headphones glued to my ears while I write 10k+ words a week.

I always keep an ear out for new music. I love discovering new bands/songs, it’s a habit from my days as a music journalist. Even though this is mostly a sports blog, I still add quite a bit of music and pop culture content. Keep sending me tracks via email or Twitter.

If you want to listen to songs that appeared on past playlists, you can listen to our playlist on Spotify or go here to view our past hipster playlists.

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 NFL Week 10 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Baker Mayfield late 2019 dottedI went 7-7 against the spread last week. The late games on Sunday bailed me out or the week would have been a disaster.

We have had back-to-back weird weeks in the NFL. Hell, the Jets and Jaguars are playing pretty well right now, so that’s weird in itself.

We have five double-digit point spreads this week. The favorites have actually covered more double-digit spreads than they’ve failed this season.

Will the Bills rebound from last week’s close win over the Jaguars and cover against the Jets?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 10

Last week was another weird overall week in the NFL. The Bills nearly lost to the Jaguars and the Cowboys were dominated by the Broncos.

The Chicago Bears, Cincinnati Bengals, New York Giants and the Houston Texans are all out on bye this week.

There aren’t a ton of top fantasy players out on bye this week. There are a few studs on Cincinnati and the other teams have some startable wide receivers.

Which Titans running back is worth a spot on your roster?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 10 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Derek Carr of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Ring of Honor – Where Will the Top ROH Wrestlers Sign?

Late last month, Ring of Honor Wrestling announced they will be taking a hiatus to regroup and assess a new vision for the company. All contracted talent will be let go from their contracts at the start of 2022.

ROH is expected to resume tapings in April 2022 and will essentially become a super-indie by paying top independent stars on a per-show appearance. Many of their wrestlers may still appear for them on those deals while also taking a steady diet of indie bookings. There are a dozen or so wrestlers/teams that will have significant interest from the other top wrestling companies in the world.

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.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 10 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (November 6th, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 9 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 6-9 against the spread last week. It was my first week under .500 this season. The late games really did a number on me.

The first week of Autumn weather always brings weird outcomes. Let’s hope last week’s strange games is a one-week occurrence.

There are some games with large point spreads on Thursday night and early Sunday, but the games tighten up during the late games.

Can Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes shake off his interceptions streak this week against the Packers?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 9 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 9

We saw some head-scratching performances last week. Who would have thought Jets backup QB Mike White would put up Madden-like numbers against the Bengals?

The Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Washington Football Team are all out on bye this week.

There were a few major injuries last week that could have affected your fantasy team. You might be looking to replace Titans RB Derrick Henry or Raiders WR Henry Ruggs going forward.

Will Titans RB Adrian Peterson be worth a waive wire pickup?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 9 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 9 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 17-8 against the spread last week.

I had my best betting week of the college football season. I started the season with a couple rough-to-average weeks, but have been racking up wins more down the stretch.

The Big Ten has some big games this week. Michigan at Michigan State, Penn State at Ohio State and Iowa at Wisconsin are all must-watch games.

I’m keeping an eye on Florida State at Clemson. It’s a must-win for Clemson as they’re struggling right now. I think Florida State has a shot at the upset.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 9 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (October 30th, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 8 – Betting Picks Against Spread

Jimmy Garoppolo San Francisco 49ers dottedI went 9-4 against the spread in Week 7.

After going .500 in the early Sunday games, I ran the table the rest of the day.

We nearly have a full schedule of games with only two teams on bye. We also have a few double-digit point spreads (again) this week. We will be seeing more and more of those going forward. I’m curious to see if we break an all-time record for them due to the new 17-game season.

Can Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes bounce-back from a rough week and look like his old self against the Giants on Monday Night Football?

Can the Detroit Lions get their first win?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 8 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 8

We survived a week with a stacked list of players out on bye. It should be much easier this week.

The Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens are the only two teams on bye this week. This could be a rough week if you have QB Lamar Jackson, but you should be able to find adequate replacements for the other guys.

There are a few games that have big talent discrepancies. The Bengals, Rams and Bills all face bottom-feeding teams this week.

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 8 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals.
